What a great Video and passion for your work and details.
And to all the miserable people. Look in a mirror and say to yourself, I will be nice and friendly in future. And if there's something I don't like I pass by.

[robertbarnett]

I have some 0/93s and LOVE them. Every time I have someone over they're blown away.

[Kritikfreak]

I own a pair of O/Babys since last year and enjoy their sound every single day. Now I know how they are produced. Thank you very much for this video. And best regards from Berlin, Germany.

[johnpromano]

Jana, your films are now so mature and detailed. Love your use of framing and editing. Keep up the amazing work and looking forward to your next installment. Big fan from Mass.

[gamerfinn]

The gold standard for hifi film. Loved it.

[markkrause]

It is so good to see Jana returning with her unique hifi insights to YouTube.

[TheBrokenEclipse]

I love these deep dives into manufacturers! Subscribed to Jana instantly!

[azoique]

Quite straightforward in their construction and design. But they sound great, people enjoy them and he's able to employ a couple people in NYC. That's pretty neat.

[JeffHeon]

What a beautiful video of a great company and its wonderful people!

O96’s were my first listen to a DeVore speaker…and I was hooked, nothing else I’d ever heard before sounded as real, instruments and vocals you think you can reach out and touch. My small UK house wouldn’t fit O/baby’s in, so I have a pair of Micr/o’s. Incredible lifelike sound that’s just a joy with any type of music. I had the pleasure of listening to O/Reference system only last week and that was incredible. However you can, get a listen, judge them by what you hear, and that alone. My Micr/o’s are fed by Accuphase amplification and a Rega P10 turntable and it’s a hell of a combo!

Lovely to see the production, unlike some comments, I love the small business, hand made with love attitude at DeVore. 😊

[ennachba]

I LOVE the cozy look, especially the stands 🎉

[alanstoss]

That was pretty cool to watch. I hope to see more videos like this. it makes us appreciate the work and craftsmanship put into making audio components. Also liked the Cardas One. Keep them coming!

[pedrobueno]

Great video as always. Devore Fidelity speakers are my dream speakers. One day! But also super happy to hear Jana is coming back! I have always loved her dulcet tone and her presentation style and content. Cannot wait to see her new stuff! Thank you both!

[davidbaker]

I really, really enjoy the pair that we have. The level of clean, natural Bass you can get out of these things with the right amp is unreal.

[ollycollie]

Utterly fascinating. I enjoyed every second of that.

[rabbadatz]

I own the O Babies for more than a year now and they keep exciting me every day with their lively presentation. They are just fun to listen and they really rock. Soundstage and bass are a real surprise. I drive them with a Sugden ANV 50. Bought non-original stands. This will be my speaker for many years to come.

[justinwalsh]

sad that this channel wont have American Made videos in the future, BUT I am very excited to have Jana work on her own stuff on her youtube. Thanks for shouting out to Jana and being so kind about her doing her own thing. Time to watch the video now!

[lokerola]

That was a magnificent production! Jana has a new subscriber. And Jon, you have a serious competitor in the YT audio space! And now I want a pair of Devore speakers.

[User_not_found_]

This was an awesome video! Love the passion John put into his speaker design. Very insightful!

[OrangeFruitMystery]

This is the best content I've ever seen from Johns channel and it's always good.
