An Unusual Question -- Equipment Rental/Loans


I have an unusual question. Here's the deal.

My ARC Ref 5 will be shipped to the factory on Monday the 25th for the SE upgrade. I gather the Ref 5 will be tied up with ARC for at least two weeks. So, I'm minus a linestage which means I'm out of business for the duration.

The question is whether there's anyone out there who rents equipment for situations like mine. I would be looking to rent an ARC LS 27, a Ref 3 or a Ref 5. I live in the Philly area.

Thanks for the help.

You are right about the laws of diminishing returns. However, I'm sure that you will find the results staggering and worthwhile, after listening to nothing for a couple of weeks. ;)
LOL!! Yeah, like high end audio isn't enough of a niche market already....loaners.......Hahahahahaha

Now I am also in the Philly area (19001), and I happen to have a VAC Auricle preamp. You are welcome to 'rent' it if you want, but it's not an ARC (I used to own a Ref 3). Unbalanced RCA's only.

Cheers,

+1 on what Truemaineiac says, that's not cool. I also did what Truemaneiac did, and as I recall, that is how I first stumbled upon the VAC Avatar Super, which can play well above it's price range. I also wound up selling it later for no loss (outside of shipping costs).
