new gear vs used gear

50/50/50? Brilliant!

Uppermidfi, are you really Yogi Berra? :•)

"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."

"This is like deja vu all over again!"

"If you come to the fork in the road. Take it!"

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."

"A nickel isn't worth a dime today."

"Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded."

"If the fans don't come out to the ball park, you can't stop them."

"You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough in the second half you give what's left."

All of my cables are new. My CDP was a store demo, so where does that fit in?
My TT was a factory upgrade, so it is new/used, my pre-amp was bought used and sent back to Klyne to be completely upgraded to the latest model so it is new/used. The rest is used.
Applying Uppermidfi's math then mine is:
50% used
50% new/used
50% used
and the rest is somewhere in between. I hope someone is doing the math on this. Maybe one of the underworked physicists can do all the calculations.

everything i have was bought used except one set of interconnects i ordered from europe, my cartridge and my turntable. I guess i feel like when it comes to analog it is easy to damage most of these components, therefore i feel much more comfortable buying them used.
