What gear do Audio manufacturers use at home?

Gilbert Yeung of Blue Circle uses his own gear powering a pair of Martin Logan CLS IIz. Here is a picture of it:

Ok, this comes from David Wilson at a dealer party in Dallas a few months ago. In one room he was using Audio Research Ref pre and amps. Another room Mcintosh. Another room Nagra pre and amp. He has 8 rooms in his house with systems. He was also very high on Transparent Cables.

David also mentioned that his nat'l sales mgr is using VTL for very good sound...

I'm pretty sure that Dr Amar G. Bose is running a wave radio with an external feed to a pair of 901's. He recently stated that this is the most life-like system that he has ever heard : ) Sean

I have heard Steve McCormack is using Acoustic Zen cables. Word is that a number of fellows at Audio Research, Art Audio, and Soliloquy are using Acoustic Zen as well.

Pat McGinty of Meadowlark uses DH Labs cables at home and at trade shows, plus internally on many of their speakers; as does Tyler Lashbrook of Tyler Acoustics & Mike Dzurko of Audio Concepts (all speaker manufacturers). Other users of DH Labs include Mike Sander at Quicksilver Audio (Tube amps/preamps, Naum Dorkhman at Audes, Allan Chang at Golden Sound (DH Comes), Wilson Shen at Clayton Audio (amps).

Studio engineers often don't have much of a home system--after listening critically all day long, they are usually a bit burned-out on listening when they get home. Their studio systems are their main listening systems. Some top name studios you will likely find did work on many of your recordings include The Hip Factory in NY, 3D Audio in Nashville, Definative Recordings in Detroit, Sterling Sound in NY, Chicago Audio Works, Arf Digital Mastering. All of these are using DH Labs interconnect and digital cables, particularly in mastering.
