I believe that refurbished are the best values in the marketplace. They are usually customer returns of new products that have a problem sonically or physically. The item is checked 100%, rebuilt to 'as new' standards and repackaged. Sometimes, to save money, new packaging is not included.
Buying a refurbished item is purchasing a product with 100% Quality Control, which is sadly atypical these days. These usually carry a new warranty status. A great value for hard earned dollars.

Yes,its a great advantage that the refurbished ones get a thorough look.That way it would be preferable to a brand new one the quality of which is unknown.Even some of the very expensive equipments that the magazines review have problems and the editor has to ask the manufacturer to send another sample.We may never know about the problem and may get stuck with a defective item for life!Thanks for the advice.
I agree 0. One of the best deals I ever got was on a refurbished SACD player at half price. Worked perfectly and never had a problem, while I read of others with the same model having various troubles. If it was something I wanted, I would not hesitate.

Best bang-for-the-buck as far as new equipment is concerned.
My CSW model 6 speakers were refurbished....$90, with a 10-year warranty......can't beat that!!
