OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name

That video was a complete waste of my time. Very unprofessional.

In this topsy-turvy world in which we live, anyone with a youtube channel can garner himself a "following", however low in number that may be.

His "business model" (double air quotes) is to present himself as an alternative voice, a bit of an outlaw (and yes, sorely in need of a shower and shave), telling it "how it is".  The insider who dares to pierce the veil.

But as at least two other fairly recent threads on Audiogon demonstrated, there is a much darker side to this too.

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.
