this should be in the audio section.
Factory Refurb means it has been used and malfucntioned or was damaged at some point and repaired by the manufacturer. So it may work like new.
Sometimes electrical equipment are refurbished at some unknown facility in which case the reliablity can be questioned, especially on ebay.

sometimes its ok to by refurbrished stuff.. because..
if that particular model has a defect.. it has been fixed by the manufacturer.. where as a new one might still have the problem..
its like buying a 2k automatic that already has the solenoid problem fixed.. where as buying one that still has the problem

if your going to save a significant amount of money buying a refurb and its still covered under the factory warranty, i'd say go for it!. But if its going to be a 20-30 dollar difference, i'd still go for something brand new.

There's a difference between manufacturer refurbished and factory refurbished. Factory refurbished doesn't exclusivly mean it was refurbished by the origonal manufacturer. I've seen cases of refurbished stuff being sold and it wasn't reconditioned by the origonal manufacutrer you may want to make sure its OEM refurbished and warrentied.
