Default Jana Dagdagan's Superb Audio System videos

I've been watching John Darko's videos for the last several months and have noted that all of his excellent videos are edited by videographer and video editor, Jana Dagdagan.

Jana used to work for Stereophile and Audiostream, but is now free-lance, as far I can tell. She's based out of NYC. She now has her own YouTube channel called Earspace that focuses on capturing the experience of listening to audio system at a show or in someone's showroom or home.

Jana's video and audio production values are superb, in my experience, and all the more remarkable because Jana does all the production, from videography and editing, to audio recording, mixing and masteriing. For best audio quality, Jana uses a binaural recording methodology and carefully controlled placement for the most accurate audio reproduction.

She's also intelligent, articulate, genuine, knowledgeable, funny, and...absolutely lovely and charming.

Here's none other than marketing legend Seth Godin's comments on her first video posted at Earspace:

"This is brilliant. A whole new vernacular, beautifully put together, generous, funny, clever, real. Bravo!"

Here are some links the gang may enjoy, and I encourage you to subscribe to her YT channel.

Her "I'm back" introductory video (of note is her comment that its amazing to her that anyone would enjoy watching anything she's made)

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do. If you watch them on your computer or iPhone, and have a Dragonfly USB DAC, I encourage you to use that and headphones to listen to the audio quality.
