Hey RICH Audiophiles


 Why don't one of you incredibly wealthy audiophiles whose systems I drool over every day start an Audiophile Rental business?
 Imagine how easy to simply rent a set of speakers or amp for a nominal fee so us POOR enthusiasts could demo it in our own home/system without restocking fees or massive depreciation when reselling..No more sitting in traffic,wasting gas & polluting the environment running from dealer to dealer only to be greeting by horrible listening conditions that give you ABSOLUTELY no idea how a piece of gear will actually sound in your own listening room...

I think the OP's request is poisoned fruit, really.  If you really cannot afford it, don't tempt yourself to develop a taste for it, because you risk basking in disappointment as a result of the knowledge.  Just enjoy the best you can afford and groove on your music, IMO.

"I also used to own a very high end shop in NYC."
Why not anymore?

Comparison with Porsches and Lamborghinis is revealing. There is actually a number of places that rent such cars for a day, or a few hours. And that is exactly what OP is asking for.

"Girlfriend, best friend? Nope."
Would you believe that some people value their girlfriends and best friends more than a conglomerate of metal, plastic, leather, and whatever other material is in the car? Not everyone, apparently, but some do. Still, nice to know you are enjoying your Macan.
