I’ve been reading through the forum for a few weeks now, and really appreciate all the advice. General question: ever been burned buying used equipment???
I’m new to this high-end audio world, and am more-than-a-tad daunted by how much all this stuff costs. I just bought new speakers (Paradigm Reference Studio 40’s / CC / Atoms / PDR10), and am now ready to kick the two-year-old Kenwood receiver (vr410) out the door in favor of a better receiver or possibly an amp (and use the kenwood as a pre/pro for a bit). Seeing how much I’m dough I’m gonna have to drop, I’m thinking about buying used. Any advice? Have any of you had bad experiences? Would you buy used again???? Thanks, Mark
P.S. – FYI – I’m thinking I can’t really spend more than another $750 or so… maybe a bit more if it’s REALLY worth it…
