I have to sleep with the owners of various audio shops to get my way, its a shame this hobby is dominatly male :(
How do you get to demo equipment?
Hi,
I was wondering if any Audiogon members ever let others hear their equipment. Specifically, I'm looking for a new amp for my system. I'd like to hear the different choices out there, but feel limited by the local dealers. I live in Central Mass. and can work with a few dealers in the Boston area. One dealer said I had to buy the amp and I could return it in 7 days, but I'd like to be able to demo something without committing to purchase it.
There's so much great equipment on this web site, but how will I know if it sounds right with my system if I can't hear it first?
Does this ever happen? Do any members let other members hear their stuff? Any get-togethers?
What have some of you done? How do people hear what they want to buy before buying it?
