[@Phil_f8andbethere]

I love the fact that Jason took time out to do an in-depth behind the scenes video with you. His openess and honesty in this industry is refreshing. Would love to be able to afford a pair of those Tyrs.

[@christinearmington]

Yes. The next product should be the Yes. Schitt Yes.

[@stephencosta6814]

You can just save up no problem take some time but you’ll have them that works for me

[@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac]

Jana keeps topping herself!

[@60zeller]

Calm down there big boy

[@clarablack1101]

Jana rocks!

[@troys8418]

Better than Schiiting herself!

[@Maver1ck911]

Hey! What's up Steve

[@nicktube3904]

Jana please reboot your YT channel ^^

[@rosswarren436]

Being in engineering and manufacturing I very much appreciate these "how they are made" videos hosted by Jana. It makes me lust for some of those presses and CNC machines. Looking forward to John's review of the Tyr. Schiit monoblocks. Oh yeah, tacos can do that to you.... ;-) Seriously loved the sticker, "Skilled labor isn't cheap; Cheap labor isn't skilled". That axiom bears repeating often.

[@azonialaplamis4290]

"Skilled labor isn't cheap; Cheap labor isn't skilled". True. Love that one. Often, clueless people wonder why one is paid higher than some.

[@thomaskelly2560]

Jana’s field trip videos are the best! Keep them coming.

[@gotham61]

Wow! Bravo Jana! That’s as good as any episode on The Discovery Channel of How It’s Made, produced using a big crew and budget.

[@verite]

I've owned lots of expensive Hifi from all sort of high-end brands from around the world, and I've never been as satisfied as my experience with Schiit products. Been running a pair of Vidars with a Freya + for years every day - zero problems and fantastic sound. I'll look forward to trying the Tyr out someday. Great video and very nicely photographed - thanks!

[@fredoswego]

Love the 2 device one hand soldering technique. kind of like chop sticks.

[@brianlewis5042]

I love these inside tours that Jan does for your channel. It give us, the possible consumer an understanding of how these pieces of equipment are made. It is really a dance where by everything has to be in place. Thanks

[@TheMirolab]

i love these videos because I don't feel so bad about spending good money on gear, knowing how much work really goes into building it.

[@fzswede9533]

This is High End videomaking. A real pleasure to watch. And for dadjokes,though i am a dad. I don't know Schiit. But I own a Vali 2 which is great, with hopes of getting more Schiit. Thank you for making these high quality,entertaining and educational videos. Regards from Sweden.

[@theoriginaljeffro]

I love that Jana is like an audiophile Mr. Rogers. These videos are so cool. Now if we can just get John to do the occasional puppet show…

[@robsandler1818]

I went to my proctologist and he asked me to bring him a shit sample, so I brought him my Tyr, he said that’s the heaviest piece of Schiit he has ever tested, but it sounds amazing. Loved the Video…Jason is an incredible innovator.

[@madcrabber1113]

Hats off to the people or person who put this video/audio together.

[@MichaelSamuelson99]

I really like that you are doing these videos. It is great to see the products we use being made. Also, the dexterity and attention to detail of the employees always amazes me. Thank you please keep these videos coming :)

[@olmecus]

Jana, your video making skills are top notch! This video has made me an even bigger Schiit lover and proud to be the owner of several of their products. Thank you!!

[@davidsmithson9236]

Ariel, my thoughts exactly. We rock.

[@lb3537]

I have been watching audio related videos/ reviews for many years. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen… such a unique aspect of audio production ! Long live the good Schiit!

[@brewt1mer]

That was great I always enjoy watching the production process…more of that please

[@peterlarkin762]

The woman chopstick style soldering with two irons is impressive. Hope she's getting paid double time.

[@ChicagoRob2]

That girl is a maven of soldering. Chopstick soldering is no easy task.

[@ChristopherBreeden85]

That lady dual welding soldering irons with a single hand is boss

[@Cocteau61]

By far!!! The most charming fun to watch aesthetically pleasing factory visit video I've ever watched Bravo Jana !! My hat is off to you Jason too , , , you're a natural at everything you do. And geeze-Louise.....a choke-filtered amplifier! Who would have thought that Schiit would happen?

[@playingforthecheapse]

Another fantastic video, hard to believe you do it solo!

[@AnitaSV]

Finally someone who knows how to make good factor tours. I hear people saying no one watches them, that’s because usually it is made poorly. This one is outstanding!

[@bertoray5497]

A great British detective once asked me to get him some top shelf audio gear, but sadly because of import tariffs, I had to tell him "No Schiit Sherlock."

[@skipskipson]

Thatnks for this guys! Schiit is one of my all time favorite companies and this was a real treat. Also wonderfully shot and edited!

[@ibrahimhakim6232]

What’s the other ones?

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Thank you for sharing this video on how things are done at Shiit Audio. We got a lot out of it and also learned about the company. In the long run, we think it’ll go a long way to endear the company to consumers. Hope there will be more videos like this coming.🎧

[@adamsmith8900]

That was really well done Jana! I'm enjoying the series, and your excellent camera work! Excited to get a pair of Tyr for my listening room!

[@AntoineViau-00]

Awesome piece of work both from Schiit and Jana! Thanks Darko for making this happen.

[@russellbrikowski6139]

Great video Jana thanks love factory tours.

[@mckinleyparkbikes]

Incredible video Jana great work!

[@preiter20]

Great video Jana! I have grown to enjoy interviews with Jason from Schiit.

[@timvanrooyen]

good schiit Jana - lovely work

[@DeAudiofilosyLocos]

Fascinating job Jana! Looks like a great product.

[@stephenstevens6573]

Great tour of the Schitt process! Enjoyed the way it was done. Good job, Jana! Looks exciting. Cannot wait to hear the review of the new pieces of Schitt! Peace ✌

[@ptg01]

Absolutely FASCINATING !!! Gives me goosebumps to see consumer audio manufacturing being done in the US of A ! Jason and team must be commended for it and for making it relatively affordable. 100% Made in USA is almost impossible especially with hundreds if not thousands of individual parts and associated IP. Well done Jana and John ! Need more of Jana for sure ! Thank you ! Salamat !!!

[@janadagdagan]

salamat sa iyong suporta 💛

[@jimalbruzzess2445]

Excellent video Jana !!! Very interesting. It's great that you got Jason to do it as well. Great job, keep it up.

[@HoundStuff]

Nice work, Jana! Great video.

[@gokhanersan8561]

I thought Schiit was a gimmick until I turned on my Loki 4 band eq. It makes my $800 speakers sound like $1600. Keepin that Schiit.

[@FluxStage]

Great video, thanks guys!

[@andrehall5747]

Loved the video! I've been a fan of this Schiit for years! Glad to see Schiit stepping up their game yet again to deliver another great product.

Really enjoyed that, love the bit at the end lol

Great video! I thoroughly enjoy this series. Jason is a great dude, love his product and his company.

[@SC457A]

Loved the tour and seeing the process.

[@Dasbeerboots]

Jana killing it with the production quality. I thought they had moved to Texas. My gf is from Valencia and I've always wanted to go to The Schitter. Looks like I may not need to bring toilet paper next time I'm down there.

[@rockman22]

They split their time between both places.

[@stuartedwards7747]

Another great video. I’ve got a few Schiit products and it great to watch the quality and effort that goes into the production process.

[@TheLkdude]

This is good schiit ! Thank for these exciting videos Jana!

[@kululv]

that was really great and very educative!

[@paulwg2112]

Good stuff Jana!

[@pmui2000]

I've gotta get my Schiit together and start building out my dream listening room! Jana, nice work! John - looking forward to your review of this Schiit!

[@3lueant347]

Jana, your production is wonderful. Warmest wishes for your continued success.

[@GavinHodgson]

Love it - great video!

[@allandresner]

Great episode…thank you guys

[@thomasward00]

I'm proud to own 2 Modi 3+ in black, will be buying more in the future. Yes made in USA matters to me.

[@deadline7610]

Nicely Done. Very obvious someone spent the time & money to get this production done right and it shows :)

[@h2ophilter]

very well shot. great presentation!

[@tigertiger1699]

Great vid Jana🙏🙏

[@clarablack1101]

Top schiit Jana! very well made: swell the video as the Try!!

[@mindhead1]

Great video. It’s cool to get a peak behind the curtain to see all that goes into producing a product.

[@S.A.S.H.]

They should start making equipment racks so we can "Get our Schiit together, man."

[@tdtm82]

Great to see manufacturing on this scale. Really looking forward to more videos like this. Great stuff.

[@georgenicolaidis7550]

Being resident in Europe is almost impossible to get Schiit products, locally available and in stock and reasonably priced. The European retail distributor is not really helping in this regard. If you order direct from Schiit in the US, as I have done in the past, you are faced with insane shipping costs, local import taxes, local VAT, shipping company warehouse expenses etc, making the whole process a nightmare and very costly. I would suggest that Schiit, since at least in the US they are adhering to the direct to consumer model, to have a look to what some Chinese and Canadian companies are doing with European logistic centers that allow for in time warehousing and processing of orders from countries like China, and get on board. There are a number of these companies to choose from, based in the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries and utilizing their services significantly helps reduce the end European consumer price since it bypasses the local European distributor margin, and offers large scale economies for shipping and customs processing etc. Sometimes US companies forget that having a great product is not enough to assume great sales in the rest of the world, and make very little or no effort to investigate alternative direct to consumer distribution options available in this global economy.

[@jean-paulschweitzer6211]

To sell in Europe the products needs CE (EMI, ESD), REACH and RoHS, that´s the problem then that are costs!

[@zzillezz]

I feel your pain. Living in Belgium, have bought from the EU distributor in the Netherlands and from US directly. First didn't have the new products in stock for a very long time, second option cost me a whole lot more in taxes and customs. Both are not ideal. Contacted the EU distributor and they said Schiit didn't have enough product to meet US demand, let alone ship products to distributors around the world. So I guess we'll have to wait until stocks can be at a higher level. And that won't be soon I guess. Still, I love their products and the vision behind the brand.

[@zzillezz]

@@jean-paulschweitzer6211 All the Schiit products I have are CE certified. The logo is on the devices. Otherwise it would be illegal to sell these in the EU. CE certification is a one time cost for the manufacturer per product of about €1000 / $1000. So that's not too expensive.

[@Yiannis2112]

@@zzillezz Finally a straight answer about most Schiit models not being available in Europe for at least 2 years now. Thanks for that!

[@MrAyrit]

Interesting stuff. I really like these videos.

[@Ali_Shafai]

Very cool! I like these look behind the scenes episodes 🤘

[@juanedudr7166]

No need to watch the entire video to know that will be amazin. Thanks Jana!!!

[@johnbrown4568]

Jana great video. Thank you and thanks to American Schiit audio for making awesome products.

[@fts81]

Brilliant, fascinating, really well done.

[@thirdkey9]

Thanks Jana & Team Darko for another fascinating, slick & fun vid hit. Fortuitous timing with the latest streams and hoping some new S400MK2’z will blend well with a Vidar and some other Schiit just ordered.

[@kencoleman5686]

This is a great video!

[@splintered6040]

You wiped the opposition with this prize! Darko and Jana really do give a Schiit…

WOW, exclusive look into the new Amp and Schiit's process. Nicely Done...

[@simianinc]

Love to finally see a review of the Tyr.

[@Audfile]

Bought 2 pieces of Schiit this year, a Lokius and a Lyr headphone amp. I'm no noob and own lots of gear from lots of different manufacturers. Astounding performance, best of the American value first companies.

[@mastaboog749]

Yesterday I ate 2 pieces of string and today they came out tied. I schiit you knot!

[@taidee]

Man, I love this visiting factories series very much, it's great to see this stuff, I just wish Schiit shipped to South Africa but they don't so far. But fingers crossed it will be soon, I see Abyss now does ship to SA. Thanks guys for bringing this series to us, it is well appreciated.

[@epi2045]

Have a lot of respect for every person involved with the video. Schiit audio is really impressive.

[@iagrant1899]

I suggest they rebrand slightly as "Schiit:", to acknowledge the role of the colon in the manufacturing process.

[@DarkoAudio]

Hi iagrant7034 - can you please contact me at john AT darko DOT audio asap!?

[@Wright00000]

Really really cool!!

[@jonm52]

Love this tour with Jason. Have just purchased 3 x Tyr mono blocks. Best saying is: "The power of Schiit". Thanks Jon Mamonski Australia.

[@midnightsocean2689]

Building local/sourcing local matters. Probably one of the best audio companies out there. Awesome video! Enjoyed it very much. : )
