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 ^^

[@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

[@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.

[@fredoswego]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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…

[@madcrabber1113]

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

[@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."

[@S.A.S.H.]

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

[@brewt1mer]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@playingforthecheapse]

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

[@bigdallyc]

Toilet jokes aren't my favorite... But they’re a solid number 2.

[@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?

[@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!

[@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?

[@MrKom20]

Beautifully shot Jana! Love it.

[@janadagdagan]

💛

[@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!?

[@russellbrikowski6139]

Great video Jana thanks love factory tours.

[@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.🎧

[@itsmetimmee]

good schiit Jana - lovely work

[@lynnpoole7830]

It's always nice to see a Jana episode. Such a bright young woman.

[@janadagdagan]

💛💛

[@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.

[@ferchizzle]

More videos by Jana!

[@mckinleyparkbikes]

Incredible video Jana great work!

[@preiter20]

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

[@DeAudiofilosyLocos]

Fascinating job Jana! Looks like a great product.

[@braddavid9065]

Nice job Jana!

[@janadagdagan]

💛

[@mastaboog749]

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

[@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 💛

Excelent job, Jana. 👏👏👏👏👏 Congratulations!

[@janadagdagan]

💛

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@LePetitGrande]

I will never forget how I ordered the Schiit Vidar in the 230 V Version to germany, waited 6 weeks for it, received the 110V version without noticing and destroyed it in 2 seconds. Boy, what a fun day that was!

[@michaelmckenzie2031]

I’m just about to purchase my first Schiit product and after watching this I am doubly excited about acquiring it. And I concur; Jana rocks.

[@m6j159]

Brilliant video, Jana - very informative and wonderfully produced. Thank you👍👍👍

[@janadagdagan]

💛

[@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.

[@jeffsloane8628]

Jason and Mike need to make a $99 Corvette. 🙂 Love Schiit! This is one of the better videos showing their process.

[@AntoineViau-00]

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

[@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.

[@grsamael]

Funny how he flexed his Corvette and then made an analogy to the VFM that car and his products have!

[@JacobFrey]

Congratulations to all of the companies and people involved. I only own 2 of the small chassis products, and they're lovely.

[@epi2045]

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

[@johnbrown4568]

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

[@tigertiger1699]

Great vid Jana🙏🙏

[@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.

[@HoundStuff]

Nice work, Jana! Great video.

[@splintered6040]

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

[@VeeHausen]

Proudly own their products, much love from Australia! Great video....so fun to watch!

[@BellTunnel]

One can Tyr of these Schitty plays on words.

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Excellent video, script, lighting, camera work, editing and audio quality. Thanks from Colorado.

[@simianinc]

Love to finally see a review of the Tyr.

[@davidbock1801]

Good job, Jana.

[@markpenland]

This was immensely entertaining and nerdy af. Thanks crew.

[@luctardif8444]

I am impressed to see Bloomer compagnie make those perfect cases at a low price.

[@FluxStage]

Great video, thanks guys!

[@markwillems4826]

Since more than a year almost impossible to get stuff from Schitt in Europe by local dealers or Schiit Europe.

[@jamesnoel3827]

Shit, I can't even solder well with one! Two in one hand just knowing out consistent looking joints. Amazing

[@jos5067]

Nice video! Well done Jana!

[@brandonburr4900]

Been following Jason and Mikes company ever since I first read mikes book on how schiit audio happened. It's a great and inspiring read for those wanting to read about good America success stories and in our small nitch hobby as well. Loved Jason's anology of his company to Chevy corvette. Couldn't agree more!. These manufacturing interviews are pure gold! Please make more! Only regret in this video is not interviewing mike Moffet. That guy is so fun to funny to listen to. A legend in the industry. And when you get Mike and Jason in a interview together schiit happens! Thank you!

[@markwillems4826]

What succes? They only succeed to supply the American market. They have not the skills or manpower for global market delivery: Europe no stock, Australia no stock!

[@ptg01]

Great analogy indeed with the Corvette... great bang for the buck..

[@astolatpere11]

I own a Freya S, Vidar, and Modi Multibit and am thoroughly impressed with their sound. Schiit should be applauded for its commitment to high quality sound and affordability, especially considering the amount of hands on work required as shown in this vid.

[@adamsmith8900]

Just watched this for a second time, it is a masterpiece! Anyone interested in "Made in America" should be familiar with this video! Great music choices!

[@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.

[@Jon-nz3dm]

OMG Jana got to visit Schiit??? Exciting stuff

[@3lueant347]

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

[@juanedudr7166]

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

[@pauladickerson6082]

Yeah! Glad to see women like Jana play a part in this part of the music industry!!!

[@AnotherAnonymousMan]

Quality content I never knew I needed! I also never knew Jana's talents include film making but I'm absolutely here for it. ... Lastly, I'm not above making the observation that this film featured Schiits and giggles.

[@JBOsurf]

"What do you call a factory that makes okay products?" "A satisfactory."

[@jpatrickdowns]

This is fascinating, and I so appreciate the people in the factory who do this precise work. The automation is amazing! Now, if Schiit would ever reply to my many emails asking ONE specific question about the Try. Grrrrr. They are almost impossible to reach to speak to a human with technical knowledge. Very frustrating-I am a seriously interested prospective buyer of the Tyrs.

[@kululv]

that was really great and very educative!

[@cb6171]

Really enjoyed that, love the bit at the end lol

[@purplehazeffc]

According to my wife, I don't know Schiit about anything, but I tell her that I didn't do Schiit. But really, I do know about Schiit.. From the majestic video from Darko & Jana. I now know a lot more about Schiit. And a lot more about Schiit that she does..

[@James7995]

Jana does a fantastic job, such a great addition to the Darko universe.

[@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.

[@clarablack1101]

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

Good stuff Jana!

[@OhMyGodMuffins]

I really appreciate this type of conteny Darko, please keep it coming

[@jyharris]

Great video Jana. Schiit makes awesome products.

[@massimoplatteau3874]

I just gained a Shitt ton more respect for this company. Thank you for the amazing content Darko

[@midnightsocean2689]

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

[@TheLkdude]

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

[@tim_bbq1008]

Dad jokes? You can't really beat the humor that the equipment is named "Schiit Tyr". Wish I had a pair.

[@Sunday_Morning570]

Awesome video 👍. I currently have the Schiit Freya + pre amp and the Gungnir DAC. Both are great components. Going to check out the TYR at the Schiit Valencia store. I think they will pair nicely with a the Klipsch Forte IV.

[@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!

[@anthonyhopkin]

Really Excellent - so much info and fantastic production. Thanks for sharing, guys. Greetings to you both

[@tdtm82]

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