1066 - new or used?

[spiffnme]

Thanks to the help of many here on these boards, as well as over at audioreview.com, I've decided to get a Rotel RSP-1066.

The question now is whether to buy new or slightly used. I've found several used pieces available for $1250+/- (with all the latest upgrades). To buy new, I'd have to pay about $250 more than that. ($1500 discounted, but with CA tax)

I don't believe that Rotel warantees are transferable. So how much of a risk is it to buy a used piece without a warantee? Is it worth $250?

Thanks or your input.

I am purchasing the RSP-1066 used for $1050 and the original purchaser is giving me a copy of the receipt and when I talked to Rotel (because I am bringing it to them for the hardware fix for the bass management issue), he told me that it would be fine and the warranty would be valid, I always figure, when in doubt call them.

PS: picking it up today and bringing it to Rotel (driving to them) on Tuesday.

$1050!!! I've never seen one that cheap!!

Though I love hearing that Rotel was cool with the warantee. I guess I should email them and ask as well. If so, I'll definately be buying the used piece.

Thanks

Yes, $1050. I love to haggle I tried to get it for $1000, but $1050 was the lowest and threw in 2 toslink cables.

Rotel prides itself on looking after its customers so I'm sure if you had the original reciept they'd look after you.
