Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh

I can't help but contribute here, although it smacks of piling on. I watch his videos regularly...but not to learn about audio. It's more like a "Housewives of (fill in the blank, I've never actually watched an episode but see the drama on the ads)". The shows are really more drama than content or expertise in describing sound. I have enjoyed this hobby for decades, and have a system in the 6 figure range, but I really have never been able to glean much helpful from his content. Jay strikes me as someone who has been successful in some avenue in his life, but strongly needs external validation, and audio gear is now the vehicle. He appears to be a good dealmaker, and he certainly has leveraged himself into a position where he is being acknowledged by the industry. This might be a bit of a statement about the industry itself, along with the current post covid state of it. (Anybody see the Boulder Amp video? Jeff the founder looks like he can't wait for it to be over). Jay appears to really need followers....the term "syncophant" in an above post is pretty right on when you look at the comments below his videos. There is more of a fandom than critical analysis. In any case, hats off to him as he is succeeding in his goals. We may be soon seeing Suncoast Audio Texas division, and Audio Rallies (Make Audio Great Again!)

Good!

Nicely worded, positive, and non defensive response to the highly critical posts in this thread. As I look at my post, it was inappropriately negative. Kudos to your success.
