Has The Maker ever seen yours?

Over the years several manufacturers have visited my home.

Richard Vandersteen (Vandersteen Audio)
Steve McCormack (McCormack Audio)
Jim Aud (Purist Audio)
Rich Riccio (Counterpoint)
Dale Pitcher (Essence)
Paul Weitzel (Tube Research)
Amedeo Schembri (Viva Electronics)
Garth Leerer ( Musical Surroundings)
AJ Conti (Basis Audio)

Within the next month I expect Jim White (Aesthetix), Garth Leerer ( Musical Surroundings) and Loyd Walker (Walker Audio).

Since I am the "maker" of over half of my gear, the "maker" hears and sees the stuff every day. He always gives an approving nod, and sometimes gives things an additional tweak or two. Does this count? :^)

Twl- Do you ever take yourself out for a drink??

FWIW I am often visited by Makers Mark if that counts :)
