Has The Maker ever seen yours?

Has a designer or manufacturer of a piece of gear in your system ever actually paid a visit and checked it out? What'd they say? Were they helpful? Or were they vague due to other brands being in the mix, etc? Did ya feel like a proud Poppa?????

I think that it would be cool.

Brad, in answer to your question, yes I owned equipment from the manufacturer when they visited. I still own equipment and am friends with several of them.

There are WONDERFUL people in the manufacturing end of high end audio. Crazy audiophiles like us, but make enough money to buy all the cool stuff because their own products are successful.

Matt Polk Of Polk Audio. Tom Holman of then Apt Holman and NOW... Dale Pitcher of Essence ...Brent Riehl of Sonoran Audio, Harmonic Precision, and some vino in between as well as a few BASS Ale's on the side. It has been a wonderful adventure.. Thanks for calling up the recollections... Tom..

I would say that I would buy a whole rack of Levinson, or even his newer Red Rose equipment (which I am not impressed with) if it would grace me with his presence for dinner... as long as he brings wife Kim Catrall along.

Albert, you are truly blessed to have such legends of HiFi come to your house.
