Yes, dont change a thing. You are my inspiration for audio electronics and amplifiers. I have learned so much from you. Your loyal fan. I love your videos just the way they are. No bu*****. Just cut straight to the case. And you are a great Person. Like vulcans would say Live long and prosper.
Your good. Don't knock yourself. Real people are more important with this subject. Your real. A lot of channels are way too manufactured and come across false.
Hey man you are one cool dude. Keep up the vids please. What you think is not good enough is only because you are very skilled an therefore self critical at a level which others would see as perfection, jusp slam up unedited vids. Thanks
i am elaines husband , talk to people online. that is a good way to talk to people . I met my wife online at 55 years old. it is never too late. trust God and faith can change your life. Love your channel.I started building tube amps at 57 years old . My guitar instructor likes them.! Take care buddy.
John, your presentations are great and your voice is nice and easy to understand.....been watching your video's quit often the last few mouths. I have subscribed and can hardly wait for the next video.....I have learned alot.....cheers from KY.
Hi John, You remind me of a TV repairman I knew. He was single and had and loved cats. He always was very helpful to me as I dabbled in electronic repair. He sadly passed away in 2012 from cancer. Most people appreciate your help, as I do,and please continue. Stay well, Jack, from upstate NY.
Hi John, I've been enjoying your videos for a long time now. It's great to see your face and know who's been teaching me about circuits. I'm a computer engineering student and your videos help me a lot. We don't get much practical knowledge like you show. Keep up the good work!
Hey John. New hobbyist here. It's funny. I have been watching some of your vids over the last two or three months and was telling my wife about them. If John lived round the corner I'd like him to be my friend I said. Fantastic delivery, great subjects and fab content. Thanks mate. Don't stop. ;-)
Hey John, been watching your video's for ages and only just seen this one about yourself. I love the work you do and the way you present it. You are spot on. keep up the good work.
Hello John, I'm from Malaysia. Great to see yr face after following yr channel for more than 2 yrs. You hv the voice of a teenager! Keep up the good work. Learnt a lot from yr channel. We share a lot of similarities.
John, it was like I was in the room with you! Your videos are not over produced and still very informative. That's what a lot of us like about them. If you are having fun making them, then by all means keep up the good work! Like others, I have learned a bunch from you because I like low wattage amps. You have introduced many IC chips that I did not know was out there. Thankz!
You've just made another fan. Keep up the good work. It's a pleasure watching your videos. And whatever you do,do not stop drawing. You have a gift share with others that gift.
John, Thanks for sharing your personal story, and journey in life so far. You're doing just fine with your videos and presentation style. Many youtubers don't even talk in their videos! Just music in the background. I've been watching lately to some of your older stuff and learning what some of the basic are with these little amps. I'm an audio/computer gadget freak too! Keep up the great work my friend.
I just found out about this video, but I've been watching your channel over 1.5 years now... I allways enjoy your content, and I find the way you explain things very easy, educational and fun to follow. I'm Dutch (from the Netherlands) but I've learned this U.S. expression: 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade !' Which as far as I'm concerned should mean; it don't matter what life throws at you, find a way to cope with and enjoy it which you we're given. Stay healthy and I'm looking forward to your next video John (and cat😁) 😉👍
John, I like your demeanor and candor. You have a great way of presenting your passion and I enjoy each and every piece of content you offer. I’ll rewatch many of your videos to get the complete thought in my head. I’m a little slow too. lol
Hi John. Im a bloke from Sweden and I really like your videos. But I didn't know you had a channel about LEDs. I would really like to see those as well. You're werry bright and soothing to listen to. I have had a lot off help from your videos and I like that you're so casual about your cat (Snickers) entering your clips. Keep up the good work. You're doing great!
+Anders Ilstedt Thanks for the kind words. I don't have a separate LED channel; this channel is my only one. Even though I call this channel JohnAudioTech, I do other subjects as well.
I hear ya John... I hear ya. Been watchin your vdos some years now and really enjoy them. Loved this heartfelt presentation of yourself. Keep up the spirit. You are a wonderful person John...lookin fwd to many more vdos from you. God Bless you and your family 🙏🏼
Class of 86 here. Your "interview" was very real and candid. I watched it all the way through. Thanks for all the great electronics info. btw cool taste in music.
New sub here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge here on YT. For me looking back at almost 70 years, wish I knew a fraction of what you know about electronics. Retired from totally different field, but always loved all stuff with wires. Thanks again John.
You are doing good... in fact I like your style of speaking and presentation. Keep up your good work. You are giving to the community that is priceless.
John its individuals like yourself that freely give your time and knowledge to us that enjoy electronics. I enjoy ALL of your presentations and thank you for your efforts.
Hey John! There's nothing wrong with anything you do! I'm so happy you've decided to share, there are not a lot of resources this useful anywhere. I would love to see that video with more art! I think the balance between logic and art is a large part of what makes us human :D
Hi John. As an audio geek myself in the UK, I found your channel recently and it's one of my favourites. The presentations are always interesting and without unnecessary dramatics, keep them as they are. It's a pleasure to have nice guys like yourself on RUclips, keep up the good work.
John,do not sell yourself short.your videos are really good and keep it human(that includes your cat)-forget about how other people present.keep up the good work.
Hi John Nice to get to know you. I wish that you wouldn't be so hard on yourself. Lots of us appreciate you. For me what keeps me coming back to your channel is the calm that you bring to me, especially since electronics is the hobby that helps me unwind from the high charge work at the office. Though I studied electronics early on, my life took a couple of different turns. Your videos bring me back to my younger years. In particular, I like your projects that take an LM or TDA chip and build an amplifier or something. These are projects that I can show to my daughter as they are simple enough. They also fit in my small time budget, as the family and work take up a lot, obviously. It is especially important for me to understand as much as possible about what we are doing, and that is much more important than short video time. Actually, my commute is about 40 minutes... It is very important to me to know what to measure and what to expect. Keep up the good work! I hope that you and your family remains healthy and I wish you lots of great things. Cheers Mark
Thanks a lot for your videos, they are absolutely perfect. I have learned many things just by watching your different videos, you are making a difference in people's life. Please keep it up. Greetings from Germany.
Love your videos john! Just getting into the amplifier module boards and modifying my guitars after watching your videos amps are quieter and I'm not burning up all my chips. You are super knowledgeable and you seem to really wana help ppl learn. Thanks for videos and thanks SERIOUSLY
I think you do very just fine, especially for those of us still learning the basics. I see your words as coming out slowly and carefully... And that's a quality many others could use these days.
John, I really liked your pencil drawing of the lioness, really wish you would do more of that and incorporate it into your segments! I'm very glad that you made a video to introduce yourself because you come off as a good person (which is always such a crap shoot on the interwebs) Thanks for all of your great videos. :)
John, you are doing just fine, promoting a hobby and a passion about electronics and amplifiers the honest way. I heart you talk about a lot of things that apply to a lot of people, including myself. I admire the rational way you handle things. Keep on making video's and share your knowledge. You are well over 15K subscribers by now. That is just wonderful and something to be proud about.
I like your presentations. I was looking for someone that covered a wide variety of amp reviews and builds. Don't quit man we need your expertise and advice. Your doing a great job.
John, you are one hell of a guy. You are unbelievably knowledgeable and talented, and you explain things in a really understandable way. Can't thank you enough for your work. You should write a book🤗
I do like your videos...they are excellent....your style is unique... a very few people do such kind of videos, and yours are precious to each one of us.
This is a great channel dude! I can wrap my head around most things except electronics and roller-skating. You've clarified a lot of things relating to amplification for me. Now you've just got to stop me falling on my ass!
You don't have to apologise to anyone for anything. You're in a slump where all you can do is batten down the hatches & ride it out till you get there. That's enough fortune cookie philosophy. You're doing what you enjoy & sharing it - Thanks 👍😉
I feel that you do very well and you have helped me a lot I'm an electrician with a passion for electronics and you have fueled my need to experiment. I'm also huge into audio , vinyl and vintage stereo equipment. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND THANK YOU
Just recently found your channel and have been enjoying your videos very much. I even listen while on my commute to and from work most every day recently (45 min each way). It’s nice to be able to put a face to the hands, workbench, and oscilloscope. Channels like yours are what keep me on RUclips. I have no background in engineering despite an early desire- I went in a different direction (or several actually). Now I have the opportunity to explore these interests through channels like yours. It’s such a treat to be able to learn from people who love what they do enough to teach in their free time. Just watched the video, and, feeling as if I’ve actually met you, really wanted to express thanks and gratitude to you for sharing your breadth of knowledge with me.
I happened across one of your amp videos when I noticed this one. It's nice to meet you ! I can relate to your story as mine is eerily similar. I recently found myself contemplating life without the ones I am close to as well as several other mid age inventories. After the challenges I have faced getting to this point, if I can maintain hope then I can accept my lot in life. I have pretty well lived my life marching to my own drum rhythm . Best regards and looking forward to seeing more of your vids...
This is the man who helped me building the best amplifier I ever had. It really makes a difference, even though the speakers haven't changed. My Sziklai-Amp is VERY simple but high-end, pretty much the same specs as symasym, that legendary amp by M Bittner. Thank you, John! ... and a few minutes after commenting I have to add: Just purchased the mentioned LOVE-Album as CD. Didn't ever hear of that band but discovered some other unknown ones, so I probably can give two tips in response: The bands "England" and "Fruupp". So long
John, you are a good egg! Man after my own calling. Brave to show your workbench, mine looks similar, or worse! Valve, (tube) amplifiers been my passion for nigh on sixty years.
John, it was interesting to listen to your story . I am here becasue of my journey of electronics which I've started to enjoy in my 32 . After 3 years still considering myself as a beginner . I am learning this beacuse of audio amplifiers , not guitar, but audio. And I am learning by doing. Not an easy path but very very interesting . Best regards
I've only just started watching your channel and found your amp construction series excellent. Such an amp would seem a daunting challenge to someone just starting in electronics. It's very relaxing to watch and easy to follow, however, despite the amount of technical information provided. I think it's down to your manner of delivery which doesn't feel artificial or scripted at all without however being bloated with waffle or unnecessary information. Great channel!
Normal guy, doing normal stuff, living a normal life. Keep it up. I look up your videos regularly for my hobby. You give the info that matters. I like the "I've given up on art", after showing an impressive sketch. I chuckled when you said that.
Hi John, I just watched a load of your videos. I think you're great at presenting and getting information across to the viewer. I learned a lot from your videos. I'm an engineer in London. I do electronics, software, physics etc. Enjoyed your vids a lot. Paul
Hey John, I am right now seeing some videos of you,r channel. It is awesome, rich informations and a very nice way to explain, really like it. i am being a big fan from you. Still making your videos. Hugs from Brazil.
Back again after a couple years. I still love the way you present your videos John. Easy to handle content for someone like me who doesn't have an electronics background, just an interest in the hobby...
John. I have been watching some of your other videos and just ran across this one today. Good idea. Great video. Good to get to know you . Snickers rocks. Best of luck to you.
Thanks, John, for sharing such a personal video. As one of your other viewers said, it's just like being in the room with you. You are a very likable guy and we all learn a lot from you. My musical taste is pretty much just like yours; late 60's and early 70's along with some jazz and classical. You are doing a great job! Keep it up and keep being real!
Hi John, that was a great video, you and I have a lot in common, I was interested in electronics at a young age. went to a community college took the electronics program, like the Beatles, classical music, like hearing a album all the way through. I was an introvert for my younger years, a was a loner for much of my life, I retired as an union electrician at 55 that was 5 years ago. I just love speakers, amplifier circuits. since my retirement I got back into electronics, and will never be sorry that I did! I thank guys like yourself who teach us so much, it's better than going back to school. as far as you style, don't worry about it!!! you are who you are!!! and that is what brought you to over 6000 subscribers. you are well liked, as I read from the comments below!!! best regards, and good luck to you in your endeavors, keep up the good work, and I will be here with you. mike
Thanks Mike! I hope I can retire early. I'm not making the money I need at this point to do so. Although I call myself a loner, I do have a friend I visit in Michigan about once a year. He just retired in his 50s. Whatever happens we me, hopefully I'll be happy in it.
Hi John ! I had just started to watch your videos and found them very helpful. You are unique on your way of explaining the theory. I kept looking for more of your videos hoping you had more because your presentations are great!! I see i am not the only one that comes back to electronics. I graduated in the late 80's but it was never my day job. Now that i am retired , it is my hobby. Thanks for your channel..
Retired already? I have a friend who retired in his mid 50's. I'm not quite at his age yet but I hope to retire in my 50's as well. It is not looking promising at this point though. I'm just not making the money I need to save to get there. Anyhow, thanks for watching!
John, love to watch your videos and learn a lot from them. I did so-so in high school, and was a loner, wish I applied myself more. Similarly, years after high school I went for 2 years of technical school for Digital Electronics Technology (back when DeVry was a technical institute).
Nice to meet you. I've enjoyed your videos for years and just stumbled on this particular one. I hope you and yours are doing well. Thanks for the great content!
I'd like to see a vid on high voltage rail to rail amps. I salvage several huge transformers out of a couple of TEAC and Pionier Stereo amps and the highest output side comes out 60Vdc +/- rectified. It has multiple other taps and I thought it would make a great multi-voltage PS or another great power amp. Thanks for all your great videos. I retired back in 2006, but I still work on hobby jobs and have kept my 6:30am to 5pm every day. And like you, I'm debt free with tons of projects waiting for me. I'm single 12 years and content
I'd be honored to have You as a friend. Our lives are too short to be bothered with shallow success and trophy wives (families). Live Your life like You see fit and enjoy it to the best of Your abilities. Keep providing the content and I wish You the best.
I find your instructional videos generally easy to follow and well spoken. You've got 4x the viewers in half the time so your doing 8x better than I am, though not much of a standard to measure against! Always wanted to be self employed but never had the guts to take the leap. Your drawing is pretty awesome, don't know why you don't want to do more. My Dad is good at drawing too, always drawing little things, like he'll see an interesting face in the newspaper and will draw a copy of it off to the side., He took a water color class but unfortunately didn't stick with it afterwards.
Are you kidding me? Your videos are classic. My goodness, you make them understandable! I have gained so much from your descriptions and demonstrations. I know life is challenging but you do very well indeed. Thanks
There's nothing wrong with your presentations or the way you talk John. All good, no need to change anything. Keep up the good work. :)
+poynt99 Much thanks!
I too, John, keep up the great work as you can.
No need for wacky editing, I like your natural video !
You need to change where you live and not pay state and city tax.
Yes, dont change a thing. You are my inspiration for audio electronics and amplifiers. I have learned so much from you. Your loyal fan. I love your videos just the way they are. No bu*****. Just cut straight to the case. And you are a great Person. Like vulcans would say Live long and prosper.
Your good. Don't knock yourself. Real people are more important with this subject. Your real. A lot of channels are way too manufactured and come across false.
Much love from Bangalore India. Your quite the legend and inspirational guy in our hobby world of audio.
Don't be too hard on yourself, John. We enjoy your videos!
as long as you keep on doing what you are passionate about and being honest, there are followers.
I
Hey man you are one cool dude. Keep up the vids please. What you think is not good enough is only because you are very skilled an therefore self critical at a level which others would see as perfection, jusp slam up unedited vids. Thanks
ISO Guy well said.
i am elaines husband , talk to people online. that is a good way to talk to people . I met my wife online at 55 years old. it is never too late. trust God and faith can change your life. Love your channel.I started building tube amps at 57 years old . My guitar instructor likes them.! Take care buddy.
Of all of the electronics channels, I have learned the most from you!

Hi John, You remind me of a TV repairman I knew. He was single and had and loved cats. He always was very helpful to me as I dabbled in electronic repair. He sadly passed away in 2012 from cancer. Most people appreciate your help, as I do,and please continue. Stay well, Jack, from upstate NY.
I love this channel. You are the guru of amps. I have learned a ton from you.
Hi John, I've been enjoying your videos for a long time now. It's great to see your face and know who's been teaching me about circuits.

I enjoy your work and natural way of presentation. Also your intuitive analysis of the electronics stuff. Many thanks.
Thanks for all the knowledge you share John. Really appreciate all your videos. It helped me stay interested while I was going through ruff times.
Just found your channel. You're an inspiration, John. 29:00 You won't be alone, you'll have us for what it's worth.
Hi Tony, Thank you for the kind message!

0:35 Heh, that looks like my workbench! :-D
I need to build a shelf above mine to put all my test gear on so that I have more room to work.
Same here. I really like this channel though. It inspires me to do some experimentation myself.
I've learned so much from you don't change a thing. Thank you.
John, Thanks for sharing your personal story, and journey in life so far. You're doing just fine with your videos and presentation style. Many youtubers don't even talk in their videos! Just music in the background. I've been watching lately to some of your older stuff and learning what some of the basic are with these little amps. I'm an audio/computer gadget freak too!

Stay healthy and I'm looking forward to your next video John (and cat😁) 😉👍
Your videos are great. It's like visiting with a friend. Yours are a good length. Thanks for sharing this.
John, I like your demeanor and candor. You have a great way of presenting your passion and I enjoy each and every piece of content you offer. I’ll rewatch many of your videos to get the complete thought in my head. I’m a little slow too. lol
Your electronics bench looks as tidy as mine. Love it!
john youre an inspiration.. keep doing what your doing man!
Thanks for the kind words!
Great video! I watch your channel for your work with DC amplifiers. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Brian! I haven't drawn in years. Perhaps I'll have time when I retire. Other hobbies, mainly RUclips, has soaked up my free time.
Really enjoyed this video John! Always enjoy your testing videos, but was nice to see who you are.

Always been a huge fan of you, John. You should consider writing a blog. You are full of wisdom.
Actually, you seem totally real. I personally appreciate this quality.
Thanks Thomas!
You don't have to apologise to anyone for anything. You're in a slump where all you can do is batten down the hatches & ride it out till you get there. That's enough fortune cookie philosophy. You're doing what you enjoy & sharing it - Thanks 👍😉

you do good stuff. been a fan for years. cheer up man your a cool guy. all the best from lancashire.
John, you are a good egg! Man after my own calling. Brave to show your workbench, mine looks similar, or worse! Valve, (tube) amplifiers been my passion for nigh on sixty years.
Hi John. your videos really help my hobby and give me knowledges. thanks.
John, love your videos!! You have a way of instructing in an easy and informative manner, love it!! keep up the great work, cheers
John, it was interesting to listen to your story . I am here becasue of my journey of electronics which I've started to enjoy in my 32 . After 3 years still considering myself as a beginner . I am learning this beacuse of audio amplifiers , not guitar, but audio. And I am learning by doing. Not an easy path but very very interesting . Best regards
You are good to go John, I wish I had your skills.
I've only just started watching your channel and found your amp construction series excellent. Such an amp would seem a daunting challenge to someone just starting in electronics. It's very relaxing to watch and easy to follow, however, despite the amount of technical information provided. I think it's down to your manner of delivery which doesn't feel artificial or scripted at all without however being bloated with waffle or unnecessary information.
Great channel!
Normal guy, doing normal stuff, living a normal life. Keep it up. I look up your videos regularly for my hobby. You give the info that matters.
I like the "I've given up on art", after showing an impressive sketch. I chuckled when you said that.
You do a great job John, I enjoy your videos and keep up the good work
i find your videos very educative and the presentation is spot on. perfect.
Actually, your modern presentation is superb, and has inspired me to work on some solid state MOSFET, transistor, and op amp projects. Thanks!
Hi John, I just watched a load of your videos. I think you're great at presenting and getting information across to the viewer. I learned a lot from your videos. I'm an engineer in London. I do electronics, software, physics etc.
Enjoyed your vids a lot.

Hey John, I am right now seeing some videos of you,r channel. It is awesome, rich informations and a very nice way to explain, really like it. i am being a big fan from you. Still making your videos. Hugs from Brazil.
Thanks Carlos!
John, your art is amazing.
Back again after a couple years. I still love the way you present your videos John. Easy to handle content for someone like me who doesn't have an electronics background, just an interest in the hobby...
Please continue.you have a very friendly tone voice and you get through everything by information that you give. Thanks
John. I have been watching some of your other videos and just ran across this one today. Good idea. Great video. Good to get to know you . Snickers rocks. Best of luck to you.
Thanks Fred! Appreciate the kindness.
Thanks, John, for sharing such a personal video. As one of your other viewers said, it's just like being in the room with you.
You are a very likable guy and we all learn a lot from you. My musical taste is pretty much just like yours; late 60's and early 70's along with some jazz and classical.
You are doing a great job! Keep it up and keep being real!
Thanks Steven!
Don't be too downcast John, your videos are fine as they are. Plenty of info well-packed. Keep it up...
I like your channel John, it has helped me a lot. Thanks for sharing :)
Hi John, that was a great video, you and I have a lot in common, I was interested in electronics at a young age. went to a community college took the electronics program, like the Beatles, classical music, like hearing a album all the way through. I was an introvert for my younger years, a was a loner for much of my life, I retired as an union electrician at 55 that was 5 years ago. I just love speakers, amplifier circuits. since my retirement I got back into electronics, and will never be sorry that I did! I thank guys like yourself who teach us so much, it's better than going back to school. as far as you style, don't worry about it!!! you are who you are!!! and that is what brought you to over 6000 subscribers. you are well liked, as I read from the comments below!!!
best regards, and good luck to you in your endeavors, keep up the good work, and I will be here with you. mike
Thanks Mike! I hope I can retire early. I'm not making the money I need at this point to do so. Although I call myself a loner, I do have a friend I visit in Michigan about once a year. He just retired in his 50s. Whatever happens we me, hopefully I'll be happy in it.
as long as you are happy doing what you're doing, keep doing it! later mike
Hi John ! I had just started to watch your videos and found them very helpful. You are unique on your way of explaining the theory. I kept looking for more of your videos hoping you had more because your presentations are great!! I see i am not the only one that comes back to electronics. I graduated in the late 80's but it was never my day job. Now that i am retired , it is my hobby. Thanks for your channel..
Retired already? I have a friend who retired in his mid 50's. I'm not quite at his age yet but I hope to retire in my 50's as well. It is not looking promising at this point though. I'm just not making the money I need to save to get there. Anyhow, thanks for watching!
SHOW THE ART! this is really surprising! your very gifted. the art was very nice.
John, love to watch your videos and learn a lot from them. I did so-so in high school, and was a loner, wish I applied myself more. Similarly, years after high school I went for 2 years of technical school for Digital Electronics Technology (back when DeVry was a technical institute).
Nice to meet you. I've enjoyed your videos for years and just stumbled on this particular one. I hope you and yours are doing well. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for the comment!
I'd like to see a vid on high voltage rail to rail amps. I salvage several huge transformers out of a couple of TEAC and Pionier Stereo amps and the highest output side comes out 60Vdc +/- rectified. It has multiple other taps and I thought it would make a great multi-voltage PS or another great power amp. Thanks for all your great videos. I retired back in 2006, but I still work on hobby jobs and have kept my 6:30am to 5pm every day. And like you, I'm debt free with tons of projects waiting for me. I'm single 12 years and content
I'd be honored to have You as a friend. Our lives are too short to be bothered with shallow success and trophy wives (families). Live Your life like You see fit and enjoy it to the best of Your abilities. Keep providing the content and I wish You the best.
I really enjoy your videos, they are fantastic including the presentation. All the mess on the desk is great great its a proper electronics mess :D
A messy bench is the sure sign of genius at work.
Okay you just won me over big time... "Album Oriented" and then that incredible group "LOVE". You're way cool in my book :)
👍 You would make a good friend. Wish you all good.
You are the best John!
Beautiful drawing. Well done. Real talent there. Keep it up.
I couldn't draw like that to save my life! :)
I find your instructional videos generally easy to follow and well spoken. You've got 4x the viewers in half the time so your doing 8x better than I am, though not much of a standard to measure against! Always wanted to be self employed but never had the guts to take the leap. Your drawing is pretty awesome, don't know why you don't want to do more. My Dad is good at drawing too, always drawing little things, like he'll see an interesting face in the newspaper and will draw a copy of it off to the side., He took a water color class but unfortunately didn't stick with it afterwards.
Are you kidding me? Your videos are classic. My goodness, you make them understandable! I have gained so much from your descriptions and demonstrations. I know life is challenging but you do very well indeed. Thanks
You are doing great work, I don't see any issues with your presentation it is quite natural not just scripted. Thanks for sharing these videos.
