Yes, that would be ideal. And I suppose one of each could be ordered, then the one rejected returned. But somehow the ethics of that doesn't seem up to audiophile standards. Sort of like going to a brick and mortar shop to audition gear and then ordering on line.

Or am I wrong?

First, I'll agree with you that auditioning in a brick and mortar shop and then buying on line is unethical. But in a case such as Geshelli and Schiit where home auditioning is your only option, what alternatives do you have?

They both offer a trial periods, so I assume they accept that comparisons between their product and someone else's are sometimes going to be made, and that some might prefer 'Product B' to their offering.

I don't see utilizing their money back guarantee as unethical. Otherwise they should have, "All sales final" listed on their sites. It must suck for them to have to endure 'tire-kickers' who have no intention of actually keeping something, but with today's 'Direct sales only', it seems to be part of the cost of doing business.

I don't think you're wrong. When I visited brick and mortar stores to audition I always felt obligated to buy from them rather than shopping the item around for a better price. I did in fact buy from the store.

If the online store offered BOTH products for trial and you returned one I guess that wouldn't be so bad.
