Are you as OCD as this audiophile?

Keep going OCD HiFi...we totally dig your enthusiasm and passion. I am bit of tweaker myself so I can relate to your videos.

As I recall, every time my Dad bought me a toy it peaked my curiosity; what’s inside, how does it move or works. Seeing those exposed crossovers and components reminded me of my childhood. BTW, I still take a peek inside everytime I purchase a component 😬

Let’s continue to explore and learn. That’s what makes this hobby so much fun. 

And please ignore the ‘jerks’ who can’t seems to curb their impulses with silly comments.

I might be wrong here but this thread looks very suspicious,  a link of a video is promoted here of a guy stating here are the best dacs available, then the owner of an audio store (Mike Powell’s Audio) who happens to be the same guy in the video. Mike’s reply here states that he is honest and he tells it like it is, which all he is stating that his findings in the video are in fact the truth and you should go to his store and buy of them.
Suspicious? 

Yep, correct. He has excellent AudiogoN feedback.

I might be wrong here but this thread looks very suspicious ...

Agreed. And at least some of the time, he clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. In this video of his, he confuses the neutral connection of an AC receptacle with the hot, and criticizes a Furutech plug because it doesn’t have the type of blade he thinks it should, without ever realizing he’s confusing a 15A plug with a 20A plug. So while I appreciate that the guy has passion, and I appreciate his enthusiasm for the Raspberry Pi that he discusses in another video, he’s simply not authoritative. That would be excusable but for the fact that he portrays himself as expert:

Ive looked at the way fresh blood comes into the hobby and they are met by tons of confusing rhetoric and unfriendly hubris ... trust me there are truths that I could share that would put me smack dab at the industries top level ... I’m not there to promote myself as much as I am to find truth in this ocean of BS ... I got sick of self proclaimed "reviewers" that have no rig nor any manufacturing nor industry experience at all ... I’ll have a direct sale e commerce site where I’ll sell things that are innovative ... I know the dirty laundry and Ive seen the inner hustles ...

And this guy who doesn't know the difference been a 15A connector and a 20A connector says he is building AC distribution boxes for his "clients."

@cleeds,

Why don’t you try and post a video, pick a topic and let’s see how you fair 😜

You, dill and rbstehno clearly don’t know Mike. He’s an upstanding guy, very knowledgeable and been running a legitimate business for years now.
