new gear vs used gear

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.

New preamp, new amp, new speakers, used CD player, new and used interconnects, new speaker cable, new Bybee Magic Bullets, used power cords, used surge protector, used Aurios 1.2

Several used CD and Universal players have come and gone.

LOL @ Nrchy

Everything other than two pieces bought new. The two pieces purchased otherwise were as new dealer demo's.

However I have sold a number of components and accessories on Audiogon. I have had very good results selling on this site as opposed to E-Bay. At the Audiogon site you are dealing with individuals who 1) know what they are looking at and 2) know what equipment is worth.

New Audio Alchemy transport
Used Audio Alchemy Digital Interface
New MF A324 DAC
New Pioneer Universal Player
4 Used Power Amps (various)
New Speaker Cables
New and Used I'C's
Used Magnepan Speakers
Used Apogee Speakers
New QLN speakers
Used ARC preamp
New Monarchy DAC
New Lovian Equipment racks

So that's 100% new items and 0% used.
