Why Buy Used From The Sound Well?
Stereos aren't like computers. New isn't always better!
Stereo components have been around since the 50's. Basic two channel components reached
their peak in the late 70's. There have been some
wonderful innovations (like compact discs) in recent years. However,
there is an industry-wide trend towards planned obsolescence.
Many of the components made 20-30 years ago are still going strong
- or fixable when broken.
The other factor that many of our customers often mention is how little affordable good stereo gear is available new - and we agree! We are very good at filling that wide gap in the middle with our refurbished components. Often these days the cheapest items we'll sell cost more than new low cost items - there's a reason for that. Most new, low cost stereos are basically disposable. They are not built with service in mind and after a very short period end up at the electronic recyclers. Our vintage gear is often closer in quality to many of the newer high end components available - but at a price most people can still afford.
Having been in business since 1974, we have developed a keen
eye for what's good and what's not. Most of our components have
been serviced and most carry a six months parts and labor
warranty.
