OCD mickey website and negativity.


I see videos from this individual frequently he's got a show every night almost on YouTube which is live. It's interesting.

I'm not familiar with the brands on his website and he doesn't seem to be happy about lots of stuff. He visits stores and complains about how terrible their equipment is and that no one knows what they're doing without really explaining him himself.

I've learned many things from him but I don't know why his gear that he represents seems lacklustre, I'm not gonna mention it here but maybe I'm wrong. There are many outstanding so-called higher end audio gear that's out there and he doesn't seem to carry any of it.

Last night I watched a video by Audio Excellence Canada, they claim they "only comment on equipment they sell", and "have a right to do so because they paid for it", etc, and don’t necessarily "care if the manufacturer gets mad at them or not".

And how they "carefully review" the products before they decide to sell them. While the criteria for this was not explicitly laid out, it describes their approach. We cannot say this for some resellers who just sell products and pass it on.

Apparently AE recently received questions by more than a few subscribers about PS Audio, wanting AE to comment more on Paul M and PS Audio. AE carries PSA and were pretty easy on the discussion, no drama, and one can appreciate that.

Whether one believes this strategy or not by AE, it was a simple way of putting their own little disclaimer out there for themselves. Each reviewer has their approach fwtw. 

We can all appreciate how each of these reviewers invests their time and $ to share products with us in any case. I sure do, goofballs and all, I guess👍

There may be some commentary here that could be considered complaining.  Regardless, nothing expressed here but opinions.  Persons that use YouTube as a platform for any topic have to expect others to express like, dislike, or criticism.  Comes with the territory.  The OCD Mikey schtick seems to revolve around  criticism, factually justified or not.  Take criticism as well as dish it out.

Long responses based on the perception of unjustified criticism from others you  accuse of no personal interface and a lack of knowledge or experience is an interesting tactic.  Pot calling the Kettle black.  Also, seems like more building the "expert" contrarian brand. 

For those of us with as much or more time involved in the Audio Hobby as OCD Mikey, knocking overpriced equipment and marketing hype is nothing new or revolutionary.  

  

Pot calling Kettle Black ? Has even ONE person on this thread to throw shade on me know me ? 

Here I am target on my chest.. Bring it. 

If you state yourself as having experience, identify yourself. Share your experience.. Make us believe.. otherwise we dont believe you.  

OCD Mikey is an audio anti-salesman.  He is the anti-hero, the John Wick of the Audio World.  He is the bogeyman that lurks in the shadows of your listening room.  Rumors say he can walk on ribbon cables without leaving a crease.  He wanders the country like a monk rescuing people from their audio peril.  (Caine’s theme playing in the background.)

Never met him but his customer’s testimonials are positive and sure, he’s not reticent to ruffle a few feathers.

Mikey, you have not claimed to know anyone that you lump into the category of having no knowledge or experience. If you don't know any commenters here personally how is that any different than what you accuse commenter of here.  Your long rambling responses are way too defensive in response to the mild comments  you want to label throwing shade on you.  

Don't think anyone here accused you of having no knowledge or experience.  Several positive comments were made by those having direct contact with you.  Others simply expressed your schtick not being their cup of tea as a source of information. 

Dial the drama back.  You are the one coming here beating your chest as a pinnacle of knowledge and experience somehow wronged.  Myself, and most others here, are not questioning your bona fides.  Simply, your presentation style is not for everyone.
