OCD Mikey is very entertaining to say the least. He is also very critical of the status quo and the good o' boy network (collusion?) in the HiFi industry. He is a disrupter. However, he does attack certain stores (e.g. Magnolia) / brands (e.g Denon, McIntosh) which I find to be unnecessary and frankly, uncalled for. I've always been of the opinion of "Look how good my stuff are" vs "Look how awful the competition's stuff are" would be a much better strategy. That is, stress the positive in what you have to offer without bashing the competition.
I would love to get some of his gear but they are priced in the stratosphere. I can only afford sub $5K components totaling way less than $ 40K. So, by his definition, I am in the mid-fi (LowFI ?) category. Oh well.... I am thrilled with what I have and able to afford without mortgaging my future.
