So one of the things I like us to do in this forum is to objectively investigate merits of the countless audio tweaks out there. You may have seen my testing of Audioquest and Regen USB devices. I bought the former and Michael the latter.
To the extent such tweaks are cheap, I am willing to spend my money buying them. But as they get expensive, and some very much do, that prices them out of my budget. Being the kind of person who hates selling things online, I can't just take the depreciation either.
So question is, does it make sense for us to set up some kind of fund to do this testing where members contribute? Or alternatively as Michael did, someone who needs such a device or is good at reselling them can volunteer to buy and then loan it to me for testing?
What makes sense to do here?
