Awesome work Jana. I really hope to see more of these factory tours. I enjoy these type of videos immensely in the first place but your videography work brings it to another level.

It’s amazing the level of detail and quality control that goes into manufacturing and supporting these components.

That's Minnesota for you.

What a beautifully made video. Thank you Jana and John for making my weekend with this work of art. I've been a long time Audio Research fan and it makes me so happy to get a closer look inside. Bravo! More please!!!

Excellent video, letting the manufacturer speak for themselves. Refreshing!

“Every single unit”. A very special brand here. Thanks for an excellent documentary of these guys

You perfectly captured what makes ARC a special place to be a part of, and the amount of detail that goes into the production of every amplifier that goes out into the world for audiophiles to enjoy.

Great video! It is always nice to see how an idea, design, build comes to fruition and even better when you can go along with each step and see the completed finished product! I would love to sit down and hear one as seeing is believing but hearing is even better! Thanks John & Jana! Best 12 minutes spent today!

Beautiful video, John and Jana! Thank you ever so much!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and would LOVE to see more content like this with other manufacturers. It demystifies what goes into production and gives me a greater sense of appreciation for the final product and offers insight into the craftsmanship. Hope to see more like this :)

Yes, I’d love a video of the McIntosh factory.

This really makes you understand what you are paying for from a small manufacturer that is trying to put out the best product vs a mass produced that is trying to hit a price point.

Thanks for that & Jana, nice to see you back! Always enjoy the flow of your videos. Salamat.

This is a great video, thanks guys. We won't mind more of this, it helps us appreciate why these things cost what they cost.

I love these factory tours. As someone who has spent decades working in the automotive industry, seeing how hifi components are made is fascinating! Thank you both. More please!!

I love this video! Thanks for showing, they put quality in everything!

Hi. Great work on this. Even though I could never afford one of their amps I can appreciate the workmanship, care and personal touch that goes into each and every amp they make.

REALLY nicely done video.

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

Great content! Looking forward to seeing more of it.

Great video, thanks guys for enlightening us. Keep it going!

Thank you John and Jana, a lovely video.

Very cool. I would love to see more.

Bellissima! Kudos to Jana and John!

Yeah!!!!! So good to have them in the conversation!

Those are fine pieces of tubes! 💪

So very interesting. Well done and Hope you do more industry revealing vids like this.

All I can say is great video thanks Jana & John.

Great video, thank you.

Looks beautiful, great job ARC.

A perfect example of ……measurements aren’t everything…… they are PART of an equation, they actually LISTEN too.

Nothing new, but yea.

Fantastic Thank you

I could listen to Jana speak all day. Soooooo soothing and mellow.

Awesome video! I never knew they built everything in house by hand, and had a listening test by Warren to go out the door. Pretty intense. I've always liked their gear and owned an LS16 preamp.

Would really love to hear one. Looks fantastic!

Quality work. I like the idea of checking out some of these smaller, more boutique items. I would love to see a Decware and Ohm Speakers overview.

Nicely done video. Greatly appreciated. Nice to see a quality product made in the USA.

Excellent video, cool music and very clear message.

What a great video to wake up to...I enjoy seeing the build process and attention to high level quality control. (Also makes me proud to be a Minnesotan).

Excellent video! Good job!

Awesome video! I’m a huge fan of ARC…American made mil-spec quality gear can’t be beat 💪🇺🇸

Great video. Thanks 🙏🏻

Good stuff! More, please.

Great video! I live in the Twin cities and it’s cool that we have some great audio manufacturers right here in Minnesota .

Love it. Fascinating view into the amount of work involved. Now I want to hear their stuff 😅

Jana and @Darko Audio Rock! Great content guys.

Great video keep up the great work and thanks.

what a great video, thank you

really excellent video Bravo John and Jana

Nice work Jana.. Looking forward to the Magnepan video.

love it!

wow, hey thanks... what a nice presentation this was~

Nice to see Ms J again. 👍

Really glad to see this direction at Audio Research, making part of their line affordable to a much larger consumer segment that wants to buy great sounding gear made in the U.S. I say this as a 40-year owner of an Audio Research SP6B preamp.

Awesome video!

Great movie, very impressive! Good job Jana!

Awesome. Colngratulations.

Great video and factory visit

Super cool!

Love seeing these guys at Axpona. Beautiful gear! I've got a feeling that one of their amps powering your Wilson's would be a good looking combination.

Great video. There are only a handful of quality companies around the world that make like this now. We should support them because this method and approach to HiFi is top notch and sounds terrific!

Awesome video! Being an ARC owner, I would love to see how some of their other products are made. Keep 'em coming!

Echoing others in digging factory tours. These can be a better sales pitch than a sales pitch. Btw - more Jana, please. There’s a calming tone to her delivery that I’m always happy to hear.

Every once in a while you find a game-changing product. I believe this is one of those products.

Murica! Seriously though, always refreshing to see domestic manufacturing and the level of care that ARC puts into their products.

Nice looking integrated. I especially like the overall layout. Would love to hear one.

I was looking at the I/50 on their website earlier today and particularly liked the photograph of the red one with its homage to Kraftwerk! 🤖

I really like the chassis. All those holes makes it cool looking.

Thank you for the video showing the whole assembly process. May I ask what color do you recommend?

It's amazing

Amazing video

Nice One!

I want Warren's job. I wouldn't mind a tough day at his office.

Great video

Something tells me I'm not able to afford this.

Excellent video! I've never owned any AR but I'd love to try the I50. I hope you get one to review soon. :)

Wow, that is some small scale, hand built manufacturing. Not even a wave soldering machine for the in house through-hole boards.

Well done

I met Brandon in Germany, very nice guy. I would love that job of listening to the amps before they get shipped. I could even be happy to do the boxing and packaging. 😉

Very cool video. No wonder these are mad expensive. That manufacturing process is extensive.

good to see factory videos of products we use. i like these kinda videos since childhood (discovery channel)

What a great idea, I am looking forward to more in this series. With the market so flooded with ChiFi products, this is really good to see. I would also love to see other countries featured in the future.

Yeah!

Jana, Thank🎶You❤

Warren has impressive eyebrows

And an impressive occupation to boot.

The old SCIMED building. Worked there for 7 years!

What’s the board made of and how thick is it? Tube rolling over time may create a less stable board. Thoughts

jana is amazing

Wooow that's handmade quality

I had the SP 10 and SP 11, very good back in the day! I wonder about the exclusive use of tubes. While I "get" that tubes can sound very euphonic and warm tonal characteristic, it is a 50 year old technology that has not evolved much since that time. In the world of solid state, there continues to be evolutions in design and will continue to do so. Getting the latest technology and having the reliability of solid state is a considerable advantage. I have considered getting a tube amp and auditioned one recently and thought my 10 year old Krell class A amp sounded warmer in the midrange, but also ran Really Hot!

I live 10 minutes from there Had no idea that was their hq Excellent

Warren keeps the volume down.

The perforated chassis is a good idea with tubes.

I’m gonna work hard to buy one of these

Hi, Want to know what are the speakers, sources and tracks that Mr. Warren Gale uses for his listening tests. Thanks.

It’s going to be my next set of amplifiers.👍🏻

Thank for nice video. Wish something like this for a Klipsch Forte IV.

looks like a fun place to work, but Minnesota? burrrr

Would it drive a pair of Martin Logan Vantage since it’s only rated 50wpc?

Waw!

looking good girl..good to see you taking a trip out of town. Hoped you got to act like a tourist while there.
