How many people here generally buy used?

Used is a great way to go on equipment 10 years old or less.  Electronics do age.  Mainly electrolytic capacitors.  More so in amplifiers, these start to decay significantly in 15 to 20 years.  Mostly an issue for amplifiers, but this can affect DACs and other electronics as well.  20 year or older should purchased as "recapped".  Especially so for amplifiers.  

90% used except my preamp Michi P5 which’s $4k retail buying this preamp new comes with own issues distortion and hum when enable tone control
kind regret but looks alone make it worth it lmao 😂 so gorgeous 
now I’m beta tester 
buying use power cord Interconnect and balance XLR like audioquest on eBay is complicated unless you can identify fake and authentic 

Used to always buy used now I just build my own since most manufacturers use cheap parts

....the only things to buy new is food and water....;)

...'course, the water has been used before...'recycled', same as the air...
