When we were in our heyday, buying used was very attractive to ourselves. We could pick up the Mark Levison No. 380S for $3,000.00 CDN as opposed to $6,495.00 USD. This would save quite a bit. Every stereo store would have a used rack.
We picked up an Emient Technologies ET-2 Tonearm, VPI HW-19 Mk IV Turntable, WISA Pump, Filter, Lyra Clavis DC Cartridge, and VPI Power Supply for $1,400.00 CDN. A Rotel 980BX for $400.00 CDN.
A YBA was lent to ourselves along with an offer of a Acoustat Spectra 11 for long term loan.
We raise the spectre of buying used for the long term value a stereo investment will have on your home living.
Many today consider the television the essential home component, along with a bed, however it wasn't that long ago that a Hi Fi and a bed were all that was needed for a new couple.
