OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name

I think he was using the term proper hifi store in the context of showing different rooms to display various systems.  We all have been to dealers who cram audio gear into a room that looks like a dorm room.  The owner of the store indicated that they didn't cater to the audiophile community but rather the hifi users and home theater.

Say what you want about the gentleman in the video, but that place is awesome! 

There isn't anything even remotely close to that around where I live. I tend to have to buy  online without being able to hear the products first. It would be awesome to hang their for a day and listen to all the different set-ups.

 

OCD Mikey trolls his own followers on Youtube and is, in my opinion, very distasteful. However knowledgeable he may be (and I think he is), I don’t find his content or approach aligning with my taste. I hate to see Jay’s Audio Lab partnering up with him so much on Youtube because I enjoy Jay’s content quite a lot. And Jay seems like a great guy.

Well, that's 16 minutes of my life I'll never get back.  Just a couple points I take issue with.  1. The idea that equipment that looks great isn't real audiophile?  2. You want me to take you seriously when you lead with statements like "I don't really know anything about the Focal brand".  At the same time he's complaining about GHT, he seems to be totally blown away by the size and look of the showroom.  Pick a lane for gods sake.  There are people who want to design their system around the home, and those who want a dedicated room for their system.  One does not make the other wrong.
