PS Audio Factory Tour

[@snoochpounder]

you can tell Paul is a great boss valuing the input of every employee and i bet people love working for him

[@kos492]

Happy employees equals efficient production and high morale, treat workers like shit , and you get shit back. I worked for my grub cousin. He treated me like shit, I left, his business went down the toilet. Why? Because I started my own business and I took 99 percent of his customers, he never forgave me for that, we haven't spoken for 37 years, he is having health issues now, psychological issues, and while I don't wish that on anyone, sometimes karma does happen, and I sleep well at night, and I have done okay in life, comfortable. That's all I ever wanted in life

[@bahie9283]

@@kos492 He probably saw you for what you are. A treacherous, vindictive and low life parasite who sucks on other people's blood and dances on their graves. They say you cannot choose your family and unfortunately for your cousin this is true. Your words are nothing short of toxic poison. Take your story and share elsewhere not on here.

[@martientazelaar6733]

I really like how you recognize everyone's role as vital for the company.

[@Paulmcgowanpsaudio]

Thanks. We have a great team.

[@michaelgaddy8271]

I thought it was cool that he knew everyone's name.

[@Paulmcgowanpsaudio]

Thanks. Without our team we have nothing but a big, expensive, empty building.

[@MindBodySoulOk]

But those IRS speakers sound like a cheap android. I'd get my money back.

[@lambdastorm7787]

I watched the whole video, and to say I was impressed is an understatement. It blew my mind how big the company is and how many people work there to deliver the product that so many of us come to love. For many years I've thought most audiophile companies are small, home-operated garage business. All your previous videos indicate otherwise as you traverse thru multiple sections of the company but wow, to actually see the company in its full glory is eye-opening. So many departments. So much office space. So many people of different expertise work together to create the perfect product. To make this niche hobby into a sustainable business, let alone a business this large, is monumental effort. Let me crack this lame joke. You're not a company, you're an entire industry. Over the years I've owned many PS Audio DACs, Nuwave, nuwave dsd, perfectwave MK2, DSJunior, you name it. Watching this video makes me appreciate them all the more. They are a work of art. Each of them being an entire year long of collective effort. I would like to say more but now I'm just, speechless. The feeling you get after watching a blockbuster, that's how I'm feeling right now.

[@scodude12]

Thanks for posting- I’ve been looking forward to this inside look of PS Audio - an amazing brand with great people

[@Paulmcgowanpsaudio]

Thanks, David!

[@leroyusa935]

Quality employees who really put their personal touch, heart and dedication to build quality products. This is where I would want to spend my entire working career at. This type of organization is very rare indeed. PS Audio is a company that all companies should emulate. Thanks Paul for sharing your lifelong dream and passion.

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🤗THANK YOU FOR THE “ PERSONAL TOUR “ AND WE DIDN’T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL COVID-19 ENDED 😊 LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REAL TOUR IN THE FUTURE 😍😍😍

[@LoydTurner]

I watched the whole thing. Thanks for taking the time to lay down this great record of audiophile history! It really did feel like I was there.

[@RasanSamarasinghe]

It must be a fantastic place to work where the CEO, Paul, remembers and values the contributions of every employee. Paul's passion and enthusiasm for what they are building are clearly visible, and that enhances the value of their brand. The staff members who give their personal touch to the products they develop with great passion, and dedication increases its value.

[@SMusial]

But many, not all are snake oil, pay $2500 for something that makes your power worse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJbMo4xvqaiShLc Paul is a salesman, no formal education, so-called self taught

[@flavioc5389]

I was away from the audio hobby but after watching these amazing videos I decided I will buy a Sprout. Thanks Paul for sharing your knowledge.

[@wilcalint]

Many tanks to Paul for sharing his company with us. Very fun Paul.

[@livingstones1196]

I would love to visit this facility. Paul seems like an amazing person! I love his energy.

[@joeythedime1838]

Thank you Paul. This was a wonderful glimpse into PSAudio and it truly showcases that PSAudio is more than a just a company - it is a family. Almost 50 years ago you and Stan Warren had a dream and a vision and it's incredible to see five decades later that same drive for innovation lives on. You have built something to be very proud of. BTW - One of the best scenes is the one that Terri makes cameo appearance in - we hear about her all the time in your video's it was nice to see she really does exist!

[@ianbett3444]

This is what I dreamed about creating for myself when I first started designing and building my own loudspeakers and amplifiers as a Mechanical Engineering student. It’s been 20 years, 2 marriages and divorces, several businesses and millions of dollars in realestate. Only to now realise that I’m turning 40 this year and I’ve been too busy being busy to afford my audiophile dreamscape vision..... and thus a new chapter must be opened up. Time to take the plunge and grow the initial vision. It’s been an eye opening for me to see what can be done with the levels of nuance and care you have for your work and sustain a successful operation. Thanks again 🙂 Kind regards Ian Bett. Western Australia

[@anthonyhfe6450]

Thanks for the tour. I'm on the East coast so it's great too see the PS Audio plant's inner workings. Being an engineer myself, on Long Island, it's nice to see another American company designing and building products in the USA. Of course, Paul, it would be nice if you were on the East coast - wink wink. I enjoy your videos so I dedicated part of my Saturday night to watch this entire vid, but it was well worth it. I appreciate the transparency and honesty in the video. I, too, have to make sure to sign out anything from our stock room, or else - lol!!! Hey, I never knew what the backs of the IRS midrange/tweeter arrays looked like. Keep on doing great things.

[@graxjpg]

This is such a delight! God bless you Paul, from San Antonio TX

[@tacticalrob5792]

I’ve never heard of your products previously when I came across your video however, I can appreciate quality built products. Thanks for taking the time, and I hope your business thrives for years to come.

[@StudiBeaus]

Good thing you’re the boss when you walk into a mixing session and start pushing faders around all willy nilly.

[@chadbarker4299]

Thanks Paul. Good to see the backbone of a company . lm a supervisor in construction and do the hard work behind the scenes so good to see the workers that make shit happen!

[@timmotel5804]

All the wonderful "toys" that you guys and gals build and play with. The MOOG is a great addition to the "toy chest". I've seen Keith Emerson play live with one. How you value everyone and everything in your factory is, again, wonderful. The attention to detail is totally over the top. Thank You for sharing all this with us. So informative and enjoyable.

[@michaelgaddy8271]

Thank you! That was kickass. You're a good good man PM! Hope you all at PS AUDIO have an amazing day!

[@jyharris]

This was very, very cool. I really enjoyed it. Great to see the building and flow from department to department. Thank you!

[@learnguitarat6043]

Hi Paul - as a small business owner (30 people), I can really appreciate what you've done at PS Audio. Kudos!

Many thanks for the tour, Paul and all! Very interesting to get a virtual glimpse of the action and where the magic happens from the other side of the world. Stay safe and all the best! 🎶

[@JoelOman1980]

This is the kind of presentation that makes one appriciate the products from a manufacturer even more. All the hard work, planning and time that goes into making excellence. I feel kinda sad that I have not had the opportunity to listen to any of the PS Audio products, but I will definitely try to do so, if possible. Thank you for this tour, stay safe and have a wonderfully productive 2021!

[@seanathair432]

I listened to "Your bloody well right" by Supertramp when the IRS first came out. It was at San Mateo HiFi in SM Ca. It changed my life!

[@leetingler619]

Many years ago l worked for an audio company outside of Portland and as l recall we built something for the Audio Precision unit. I was in testing, come to think of it we also had an AP on our bench. I went on to found SoldererBuddy. Thanks Paul for the tour it brought back good memories.

[@sleeman9]

Big fan of your videos from Canada. Thanks for taking the time to do this fascinating tour. This is one of your best videos. You are a great guy Paul, good bless you!

[@labontej]

Great virtual tour. Can’t wait til this pandemic is over and I can come and visit and maybe hit up some of my favorite spots on the hill.

[@astertm99]

I was there in late 2019!! Lovely place with very nice people!!

[@HiFilover168]

Me too when I visited my son at Bloomfield 2019. Too bad I missed Paul that time.

[@Channel-cm7yc]

I think the most important take away from this video tour is in the dedication & passion of everyone at PS Audio. That is what builds great products and that’s win place and show!! I will never be able to walk passed a PS Audio product ever again and not know all the people behind it that built it. I’ve heard a few pieces from the PS Audio collection over the years- ie pre amp and power amplification & DAC’s and power conditioning equipment that was also involved in the listening sessions I was in on.Those listening sessions were impressive! But of course what I liked didn’t exactly match the budget allowed by- uh hum.. my own personal accounting department LOL LOL that’s not a knock on anything in terms of price. It was the fact that what I heard was music and that is priceless but of course well you know the rest! 😂 Thank you Paul for your passions and the many contributions over the years to this fine hobby of ours. You are never pretentious and I know already you’re part of a group of very talented individuals who make this all go and it shows in the products that are built. I like good down to earth honesty and integrity because It’s all revolving around a love for music and the joy it brings to all of us and this is the reason companies like PS audio exist. 👍👍

[@michielshub]

Hi Paul, great video and you are rightfully proud of the company. By the way, 12 months for a npd process I think is quite amazing. All the best.

[@sounddoc]

Great tour. In 2001 (I think) I purchased my first AC regerator from you for our laboratory. We used it to get the noise floor in nthe reverberant room we built to test hearing protectors. We ran a deciddated 30A line and insured that we had an earlth groupd. Then we hooked evertything in the lab into the power regenerator. We did learn the hardway when we pluged in a labopt computer's USB port and FORGOT TO DEISCONNECT THE LAPTOPS POWER SUPPLY FROM THE WALL, that the result was we blew the weakest link. It wan't he laptap, it was the Tucker-Davis board that cost six times that of the laptop and of which we didn''t ahve a backup. Leason learned. When using a regenerator, make suire that everything is powered by it. Also, there is nothiing you will do for your set up as imporant as using a power regenerator. Powser conditionss are a waste iof money in comparision.

[@SantanKGhey1234]

Thank you Paul! Amazing facility and operations!!

[@100bsl]

I'm looking at this from a CEO perspective.... and learning. Thanks

[@martinmatthews9381]

Hi Paul and team a great tour of the PS factory thanks

[@shannonmiller5648]

I really enjoyed this video. Really cool operation and what appears to be an awesome work environment. I often complain about how seemingly overpriced a lot of “high end” audio products are but a video like this really helps to put things into perspective as to just how much is really involved in bringing these products to market. Doesn’t quite change my mind as to the disproportionate cost of these products but it certainly makes it understandable as to why that’s the way it is with high end audio products. It really is a pretty massive operation with so much detail involved when you truly care about providing a great product and great service for years to come which obviously you guys really do care. This video actually brought about some newfound respect for the company. I’m absolutely fascinated by the entire chain of operations and how much everyone seems to have one end goal in mind which is providing a beautifully built and engineered product that both looks and sounds like it was built by and for those of us who believe in the magic of beautifully reproduced music. Hats off to you and all of the PS audio crew.

[@medmad3]

Thanks for the tour,great close knit family kind of atmosphere,Great boss

[@MrDoneboy]

Excellent video of your workspace, Paul. Your staff seems to have a good working continuity, to produce a quality product!

Thank you Paul. I have been following your channel for a couple of years, and try not to miss a day. I've been wanting to visit the factory, but then Covid happened. You have shown us a bunch of different areas in your videos, but it's nice to experience what the full tour would be like. Now if I could just hear those IRS-V's..........

Imagine sitting down to eat your hot(fresh,not spicy)Popeye's fried chicken,turn on KZbin and the first recommendation that pops up is this video that was posted 2 minutes ago.I was thrilled and ate my chicken slower than normal.lol.Then I got online and ordered the Audiophile's Guide bundle and am happy that you've provided us with a complete resource to dial our systems in.Thanks again and as a drummer,I wouldn't mind recording in the warehouse/tracking area!

[@rdlperry]

Hey Paul. Just wanted to say thanks for the tour. Living in Adelaide down under I’m never likely to get to the factory in Boulder! So, as an M700’s and Power Plant 3 owner it’s great to see such transparency. I love the ethos of the business and the products are certainly objects of desire! Would love to upgrade to M1200’s as I drive Maggie’s but it’s a costly exercise in OZ to do so. But, I love the fact we get a real insight into the business and particularly the family approach with employees. Keep up the good work mate! Maybe one day.....
