Always thought it would be great if you could borrow gear you've always had some regard for, or just plain curious about. As such, the NVA loan of equipment has to be applauded.
Anyway, my items are not exotic being some Castle Avon speakers, 6C33 valve amp and some Stax headphones, come to mind.

It's a pity more people don't follow NVA's lead. Jez Arkless seemed to do well with his loaner phono stages too. It gets people talking about your product and even a handful of sales would make it worthwhile.
I realise some items are loanable via dealer networks, but the direct approach makes it more of a community thing, as well as saving you dealer mark up.

Indeed. Loan schemes are something we would like to see more of here. This is something which we are seeking to set up any time now.

Graham Slee has run a loan scheme for a number of years through his forum. It's an international scheme with a coordinator in each region. |

I am curious to try Naim in case the impression I formed 20 years ago was wrong. A horrible synthetic, shrieky noise that bore little relationship to music.
Perhaps it will be different in the Bentley

Or is it just me who cannot and others are allowed? |

There are no traders, there are members with trade affiliations. Offers of loans are allowed as long as no direct selling occurs on the public forum. PM me if you want a loan thread created and I'll give you the details.
