    uhhh.....SHE needs her own show! Wow! What a powerhouse! Thanks for sharing.
  • Holy transformer, this was an awesome interview. Her method of describing the functions of these components is brilliant. Thanks so much for this interview!
  • @kelvinfunkner
    WOW! many people never get an opportunity to even meet such an iconic and legendary person in their lifetime, and for you to get a one on one interview with her was absolutely epic! So excited that you got this opportunity.
  • Very interesting. Ms Manley not only knows her field but she presents in an easily to understand manner.
  • @bassface84
    I could listen to her talk about transformers and tubes all day! You can tell when someone has a passion for what they do. Even if you don't understand all the theory, listening to them talk about it and how it works is just fascinating!
  • @mikejones-vd3fg
    I watched so many videos on transformers and could never figure out what was going on with the laminations and eddy current until this video. Brilliant explainer, and no animations required. I love how she illustrates that emperical data isnt always sufficient. The data said it should be better but it wasnt to our ears. I think its because we have the best ADC , our brains! as good as our machines are they dont have billioins of years of evolution listening to analog signals and we can still hear things our machines really cant pick up.

    EveAnna is a real treasure-chest of knowledge. Thank you for this interview!
  • @esmoroglu
    Perfect pro audio lesson for very curious non-experts. Congradulations. Love your channel and thanks very much to Manley.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
  • @Wandering_Horse
    Fascinating, I just recently started working for a high end audio company that in fact also winds their own transformers in house. For the same reason, quality control. We are also located in California. Since I have not witnessed how they are made, I was curious about the construction. The whole E I plates shown in this video was very enlightening in that respect. Such a clean work environment, perhaps I should put in an application at Manley!
  • @Reuben1024
    So impressed ! Love these more technical interviews,such an impressive person, it’s obvious she’s so comfortable with her understanding, explaining in such a clear manner. Good on you Kyle just letting her talk a great interview ! More like this please !
  • @Rivenworld
    Love Tubes, always, love her wide knowledge, really knows her stuff.

    Somehow I really appreciate how you two communicate. I just lay chilling in a warm bath and really enjoying this video. Thank you both!
  • @arb1430
    Knowledge and experience of that nice Lady is astonishing. Superb interview!
  • @albiss1164
    Highly knowledgeable people are fascinating - Thanks for this cool technical interview.
  • @techslfink9722
    That is a great lecture on different amp topologies and transformers! This is way beyond the basics, and about perception for a large part! That’s what matters in the end👍👍👍
  • @sturm7130
    Explaining difficult concepts so simply is a gift only the smartest can do. You killed it Eveanna. Enjoyed this talk immensely.
  • @rickard9294
    I really enjoyed listening to her explanations.
  • @easyvelvet77
    So great to see the backstage of the magic show!
  • @donaldbundy3499
    So busts the myth that transformers are not appropriate for modem audio design. Those people never worked with well designed transformers. Nice explanations and work EveAnna Manley. Another great video.
