I was thinking about this the other day. Given that the price of some audio equipment is the same as the price of some automobiles, wouldn't it be nice if we could lease equipment like you can lease cars? I don't recall ever seeing such a service, though perhaps it already exists. To me, it would certainly allow more experimentation with equipment so that one could test out different components for extended periods of time in an existing system.
Shipping would seem to be a problem, as would wear and tear on equipment, I suppose. But it would be an interesting option.
