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.
