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?

Hello Justin:

I'm in Central Mass as well. I've taken home equipment from
Goodwin's High End, Natural Sound and Ensemble in Nashua.
Perhaps you offer these folks an impression of your CC, and the take-homes may improve. Myself, I've had a relationship with this stores going back, as far as 20 years now with Natural Sound.
