Cumbersome?

AFAIC its a good thing for reviewers to have a number of components/spkrs/accessories to use with a DUR in order to inform readers what is most synergistic, or the reverse. For that reason I'm glad that reviewers get to keep "loaners" for a while and utilize them in reviewing other gear. But without distinguishing what is owned from loaned the reader has no idea what personal choices the reviewer has made regarding cost/performance issues for his own system.

Presumably your reviewers accumulate more knowledge about hifi gear than the average S'phile reader because they hear more gear in the course of reviewing. It would certainly be instructive to know what they choose they to spend their own $$ on. It would not only be helpful in understanding their taste (relative to our own), but also their view of value -- albeit with insider's discount. Since that discount is offered by most manufacturers its still a level playing field and reviewers' choices would still be informative.

What would be so cumbersome about inserting two headers into associated components lists......."bought" and "loaned"?
