Can This Idea Be A Viable Resource

I’ve been thinking about traveling more now that my wife and I are fully retired. Which lead to me to wonder and lament in equal measure about how I miss my sound system when we travel for a lengthly - more than a week - duration. The idea is can us like minded, trusting but willing to accept liability guidelines, folks, create a network of homes we are willing to rent / trade out - with audiophile grade systems we can shop = like we presently do when we plan a vacation? I would love to spend a week or two in a home with a killer rig that I can test drive -

So the app needs check boxes for compatibility. Politics: left, right, none. Dogs/cats, kids, welcome or present, etc.

In the UK I have travelled multiple miles in England to experience audio systems owned by others, either in the home of the owner, ot at a public attanded event where an owned audio system is put out there; and a meet and greet attitude is met when entering the space for the demo on offer.

The rewards are not one way but tenfold for those who make the time to be present.

Over recent years, I have been suggesting to my local audio club that we extend our meet and greet to others and put on an event at a venue where the general public and enthusiasts are welcome visitors. Why not when so much is the return.
