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.

@emergingsoul the price of the NAT amplifier you speak of has more of a justification than a lot of other high end amps. Those tubes need about 2kv on the plate,so everything inside the amp has to be able to handle that voltage or you can get corona discharge. You don’t have to worry about breaking the tubes, it comes with a cage around the tubes from the manufacturer.

OCD Mikey is a legitimate dealer who has an eccentric flair. He is right that a lot of big box stores are designed to impress rich people who know as much about audio as they do rebuilding their Porsche PDK gearboxes themselves which is zero.

He cuts through the hype and has premium brands that are known but a lot of you are not experienced to be in the know and lambast and chastise him because you don’t have the experience to have learned right from wrong yet.

@mahgister I did make a mistake. I should have said James Joyce at his most stream-of-conscious best!  Read Ulysses twice.  Still have a hard time with it.  Who am I to argue with one of the greatest authors?  Maybe Infinite Jest is the better analogy; more footnotes than Dante's Divine Comedy.

No harm...

Anyway you are right about my syntax and style and right about Joyce...

My best to you...

@invalid

Have you heard the nat amplifiers?

Are these experimental? and that’s a lot of electricity flowing through those things. What does “more of a justification” mean as you indicated when comparing to other amplifiers?

They look super exotic but how do they compare?
