Sometimes purchasing brand new
equipment is not the best answer. When the budget will not allow the latest and greatest
technology to grace your audio rack, or when you need a simple and reliable second system
for a guest bedroom or the boat, buying pre-owned equipment is often the best choice.
There are many reasons why it is wise to consider music listening equipment that has been
lovingly used by a fellow audiophile who was respectful of his equipment.
For those of you who are more interested in tweeking your system for that perfect sound than in long music listening sessions (you know who you are!), buying used is a great way to experience equipment that would not otherwise be practical for tweeking experiments and learning about high-end audio. You can save money this way, and enjoy changing your system more often with less financial exposure. Call Alex to inquire about obtaining particular equipment for you.
Whatever your reason for choosing
used audio equipment, the best part of buying used equipment from The Analog Store
is that you can trust that you are actually getting the great value that you are
seeking. All of our pre-owned equipment is completely checked and restored to a level of
performance that is demonstrably comparable to brand new. In many cases, we can upgrade
electronic components like capacitors (which deteriorate with age) with replacements of
modern design so that the finished restored unit performs better than it did when it was
first manufactured. Even modern equipment can often be modified with higher quality parts
in order to enhance performance for a very modest cost, compared to buying new,
equivalent performing equipment. Wherever possible, enhancements and modifications are
made to pre-owned equipment during restoration to ensure that you receive the highest
value possible. Performance Certified
equipment passes our rigorous testing program which assures new or better-than-new
specifications and carries an unprecendented 90 Day Warrantee. Yes, this is USED gear with
a meaningful warrantee! Only at The Analog Store!
We only sell first quality equipment that is ready to
use. There are no surprises, no "needs TLC", no "tinkerer's specials".
NO Junk! When you buy a pre-owned component from The Analog Store,
you never need to worry about your seller's reputation or intention. You never have to
worry about the quality of the equipment or the integrity of the seller. You never have to
email thousands of dollars to an unknown entity that advertised through an internet
classified listing service. You can come into the store and listen to your component in
our state of the art listening room so that you can hear the highest possible level of
performance that your Performance Certified component is capabale of
before you ever pay a cent!
If you find an item you want to buy on EBay, Audiogon, AudioAsylum.com, or elsewhere send a direct link to the listing to Alex by email, and he will give you an honest assessment before you buy. Ship it directly to The Analog Store! Alex will go through it carefully before you ever plug it in, to make sure it is performing to its potential and safe to connect to your system.
In addition to this high level of service, we stand
behind all of our Performance Certified used equipment by giving you a 90
Day Warranty to protect you against any defects in materials or workmanship. You won't
find that from any other company, online or in a local storefront.
