you can tell Paul is a great boss valuing the input of every employee and i bet people love working for him
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
Someone you can trust. Out of this world. Don't 'Bite the Hand That Feeds You'
@@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.
I really like how you recognize everyone's role as vital for the company.
Thanks. We have a great team.
I thought it was cool that he knew everyone's name.
Thanks. Without our team we have nothing but a big, expensive, empty building.
But those IRS speakers sound like a cheap android. I'd get my money back.
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.
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.
better than any commercial
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.
Thanks for posting- I’ve been looking forward to this inside look of PS Audio - an amazing brand with great people
Thanks, David!
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.
Can't believe there's a Tesla coil in the PS Audio Office 😳👏
It somehow doesn't actually surprise me knowing Paul , I love it.
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!
Good thing you’re the boss when you walk into a mixing session and start pushing faders around all willy nilly.
It was my mix in the first place so it's ok., :)
You're Funny 😆🤘
🤗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 😍😍😍
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.
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.
Very cool, Paul. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Many tanks to Paul for sharing his company with us. Very fun Paul.
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!
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.
I would love to visit this facility. Paul seems like an amazing person! I love his energy.
I was there in late 2019!! Lovely place with very nice people!!
Me too when I visited my son at Bloomfield 2019. Too bad I missed Paul that time.
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Wow what a nice company !
Hope to visit one day out of Holland
Youre a good guy Paul !
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.
Thanks for the virtual tour,again! Imagine sitting down to eat your hot(fresh,not spicy)Popeye's fried chicken,turn on UA-cam 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!
Pauls enthusiasm is infectious. And their workshops are top notch!
Paul , Thanks for the tour ,amazing !!!!!
That's just amazing! Really loved this tour! Thanks and greetings from Switzerland !
Such a big place ! thanks for the tour really enjoyed . Love the studio room as well .
Thanks for the tour Paul. Those Infinitys are incredible, remember seeing them on a magazine cover years ago.
Wow thank you so much for this video you made me happy love how a company function great job thks.
Thanks for the tour ! I still have my 1982 ps elite integrated Plus. with original electrical print.
What a great tour! Thanx Paul! It is such a pleasure to see how you guys like and show each other respect. Who wouldn't like to be a part of your amazing team? ❤️ Here in Denmark we like ICE Power invented by Bang & Olufsen 😜 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Great company, tour and premises. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent! Thanks!
Well Explained ! 👍Thanks Paul.
Thank you Paul! Amazing facility and operations!!
This is such a delight! God bless you Paul, from San Antonio TX
Wow, just Wow!!! Thank you, Paul.
I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
I absolutely loved the tour and it was evident that it's a great place to work. It's like one big family and for an old man you sure made it up those stairs fast. Thanks for the look behind the scenes.
Excellent Video Paul. Loved the tour. Looks like a great bunch of guys there. Greetings from Clean Green Covid Free New Zealand at the bottom of the earth.
New Zealand has the same amount as covid as the rest of the world. Its all a scam in my opinion. You very own New Zealand Doctor is one of the many speaking out against the scam. Dr Sam Bailey ua-cam.com/video/EWNkJUDctdk/v-deo.html
@@hello-pq5pjlol don't believe that rubbish on UA-cam.
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

An absolutely fantastic tour of your fantastic headquarters. Many thanks!
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.
Paul, I was watching this video and understanding the reason for your success.. your love not for money, but for what you do... thanks for your videos.. I don't miss one...Julio
This was great. I enjoyed the virtual lunch and beverages. Thank you
Thanks for the tour,great close knit family kind of atmosphere,Great boss
Really enjoyed this tour video of your facilities! Seeing the fellas working and getting a sense of what they do was super FUN!
Nice video. Thanks Paul.
This was very, very cool. I really enjoyed it. Great to see the building and flow from department to department. Thank you!
Transparency & Pride after seeing this video NOW Im convinced to own a PS product one day
Awesome tour of PS Audio...
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!
Loved seeing the Hammond and the Moog. Thanks for sharing Paul. I hope I can visit some day to hear those Infinities.
Great video, If I ever come to the States I will be knocking on the door, many thanks Paul!
I have not started the video yet but thanks for posting this, I was really looking forward to seeing this.
Wonderful tour!
Hi Paul and team a great tour of the PS factory thanks
Really great, thanks for sharing, Paul. I enjoy your passion for audio, as usual, including in these tough times, both in the world, and even my own personal. Was cool stuff..🔊🎛️🎚️🔊🎙️💽
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..........
WOW i appreciate all of your work, all your realisation... i love everything in sound... working for you look like a paradise :-) thanks for that video
I'm looking at this from a CEO perspective.... and learning. Thanks
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! 🎶
Excellent video of your workspace, Paul. Your staff seems to have a good working continuity, to produce a quality product!
Very great video, respect to you and what you have achieved.
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!
Thanks Paul Great Video !!!
Bravo! Love the way Paul recognizes all the team members respectfully. Also stoked to see the check to MusicCares mentioned offhand. Very nice.
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.
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!
I'm always learning something on this channel. You rule Paul!!! If I lived in your area I'd be working in your speaker cabinet shop for sure lol. Keep up the great work PS Audio.
Paul, your company it’s amazing. Thank you very much for the tour . Regards from Chile.
Thanks for the tour!
What an exciting journey it was.
I wish I could watch this 20 years ago when I was about to complete my graduation in mechanical engineering.
It was an absolutely amazing tour.
Thank you for the tour wow unbelievable I learned a lot
Thank you! That was kickass. You're a good good man PM! Hope you all at PS AUDIO have an amazing day!
wow! thanks for sharing your invention boss Paul.
Thank you for your passion !
I wish that more companies like this. Made in USA. There are lots of USA products when I was a little boy. Great job!
Hi Paul. Thanks for the tour, great way to kill an hour’s commute! Been watching your videos for a few years now and hopefully my company will be your latest UK dealer, got our first PS Audio demo next week :)
superb..very well done factory tour.....
Awesome video Paul, Nice to see the workings of a company!
That was a great virtual tour I would love to visit there in person one day.
Big, big thanks, Paul, for this candid peak into your PS Audio realm.
Thanks for watching!
An absolutely awesome tour.
This facility and equipment is absolutely amazing.
And thanks so very much for this free tour.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
watched this on your site last night. great video. thank you for sharing.
Haha
Thanks for the to tour paul, I see your on Sterling Dr in Colorado, I' m I Sterling VA . So this is as close as I'll ever get to visiting your facility.
Great tour - great video! Keep up the good work :-)
As a fellow engineer, I really enjoyed this video!!!
PS Audio needs to succeed!!! Ages ago audio gear engineered and manufactured in the USA was big business...let's bring it back!
Their best-selling product, a $600 integrated amp built around an ICEPower OEM Class D + SMPS module, is made in China.
@@editorjuno I'm very aware of this. IcePower is great in the Class D category (I worked at B&O before).
@@ThinkingBetter -- ICEPower is great, but currently #3 behind Purifi and Hypex when it comes to OEM Class D modules. The "entry level" ICEPower board used in PS Audio's "Sprout100" is a decent performer, but not much better as pure amplification than the monolithic TI TPA3255 IC found in some of the very inexpensive Chinese "chip amps" readily available online nowadays.
@@editorjuno Yes, there are more chip options nowadays for good full-range class D performance and with more integration on one chip, you save cost. The future is in greener technology (= fewer components and less power consumption) and class D will dominate.
@@ThinkingBetter -- Agreed 100 percent. Thanks for the enjoyable chat!
Awesome tour, why thankyou Paul and camera man.😊
Thanks a lot for this great tour :-) I hope to see you there - music rooms are my dream to come and visit. Take care. Lots of hugs from Lodz, Poland
Seems like there are new woofers too in the IRS, not only the electronics changed... 6k watts WOW! Looking forward to hear Paul presenting this new updated/upgraded version of his IRS system in a new video soon. Thanks for let's see your new factory inside. ;-)
Fantastic tour Paul - loved it all, and how gracious you are - - and were some 40 plus years ago too when I called you about one of your servo controlled sub woofers (was having trouble integrating it with some maggie IIIa's - big shocker right? !!) but anyway, I would have liked to have fallen off my chair when you personally fielded my phone call - forever grateful - - thank you my friend - and I'm proud of you and where you've taken your passion all these years later, so congrats too.
I loved the virtual tour! Thanks Paul! I still need to physically make my way there from New Zealand one day when COVID is nipped in the bud. Bucket list. 😀 Just ordered my book and CD. Can’t wait! 😀👍🏻👍🏻 Stay safe and God Bless always 🙏🏻
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.
PS Audio - an amazing brand with great people Thanks for posting
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.
That's a reel human beeing..as we all should be..regardless how rich or poor you are.(that's why Mr.Paul is so loved by all of us..).allway's stay humble human beeings because in the end.. we all are the same.
