Hello gents
Why is it that you have narrowed down to the ayre and the dartzeel?
If you like dartzeel - try out DNM as well - they use those same rhedeko speakers for product develoment.
Also check out Lavardin - The former UK importer of Dartzeel used to and still does sell Lavardin amps - to which I am partial. I thought the dartzeel had a bit more bloom than the lavardin in that it had a bit more warmth - that was the power amp I might add - though I anticipate that the pre-amp will be cut from the same cloth.
As to equipment borrowing - in the UK i find most dealers take it for granted that they have to lend equipment out if they are to make a sale.
you must be able to isolate a component in your system.
In fact e-mail both Ayre and Dartzeel - you may find that most manufacturers would encourage dealers to lend out equipment, and they may help facilitate it.
