Much of my gear is both new and used simultaneously. My amp and linestage, for example is "new" in that a custom builder made it for me, but virtually all of the parts in it are used and vintage, some transformers being as much as 80 years old or so. My speaker system I bought new, but, I replaced the midrange compression driver and horn with a very old Western Electric combination (713b compression driver and KS12035 horn).
New vs uses in your current setup
Curious the ratio new to used/demo in your current system comprised of.
I’m equally split on a “per box” basis although I tend to look for used cables almost exclusively.

My K340 are vintage and used... I doubt that there exist something really better on all count at any price anyway... And if it exist i paid it less than 100 bucks...
my Sansui alpha is a TOP vintage Sansui... But it is way easier to beat it than my headphone so good it is and it is at 300 bucks ...
I was busy understanding how to make a system/roo0m sound good not by the gear as such... Each one of us ordinary mortalk has a budget...

everything is new except my subwoofers and monoblock amps which I repurposed from my immersive setup that I had to downsize from @cantorgale |
