What gear do Audio manufacturers use at home?


I'm very curious to know what kind of gear do Audio designers use as their personal system.

As an example, does anyone know what Mr Richard Vandersteen, Steve McCormack, Yves Bernard Andre, etc use as their personal system. Builders like Tyler accoustics, JM Labs, Martin Logan don't make CDP or Amps. The same applies for Cardas, Lieder, Siltech, etc... The owners or designers must be using some other brands.

Thanks

When I met Richard Vandersteen a few months back, he indicated that he used his own speakers(whatever he had on hand---spares) and Quick Silver tube amps. He had no comment after that! He certainly wouldn't comment on speaker wire or interconnects. I actually think he comes from the zip cord generation and they are not that critical.
I can't believe McCormack doesn't use Van De Hul wire. He use to put that(short pieces) in his DNA Deluxe amps.
