OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name

I have built three houses with theater rooms in each.  For these purposes, I would go to a store like GHT.  That said, don't plan on getting any deal as you are paying for that overhead including the furniture and art.  

For my two-channel area, I would not waste my time going to a Home Theater store,  They are just a different breed and they generally do not have higher-end equipment.  I am going to any store that has the components or speakers that I may be looking for.,  I could care less whether they served my whiskey while I was listening to a component.  It is all about being able to compare side by side of various components that I am looking to demo.  

A typical salesman/dealer, everybody has crappy equipment except him. This guy is irritating to watch.

In general, it’s not a good idea to serve alcohol to people signing contracts. Just saying.  Aside from that, I hear what OCD Is saying about dealers that carry a lot of lines, but from what I can see, many audiophiles just want to call a dealer and say “I want XYZ”. They don’t ask for advice and believe that any dealer who recommends something is just pushing whatever has the highest margin. It’s sort of sad, because the good dealers can really help people to buy something they will be happy with down the road. And by “good dealers” I mean a dealer who can understand what the customer likes and guide them in that direction. And being a nice guy or a handsome guy is not a substitute for being a good dealer. 

@mikepowellaudio, you lost me at “piss ant dealer”. 

OCD Mikey, I may have only been on this site for a few months, been on others since 1999.  Check out avsforum and many others.  Some even been shut down for years as Youtube has become the new norm.  Which is ok, everyone has their own opinion.  I watched you even subscribed for a bit until you go on your conspiracy theory rants.  Just dont like that.  I am on my 3rd house 2nd full blown room.  I dont have the room or patience to do a full on frankenstien like you have.  I actually loved that video to see your creativity.  The best one was you had and I have to give you credit was "you want to sell something easy.... make it with tubes, put a blue light on it, call it an italian name and boom"    2 days later sure enough video from I think the cap audio fest there was one..lol  I cracked up. 

But again you lost me on the last two videos you did.  The one on streamers and the one on that atlanta showcase.  After hearing you say how bad dealers are and then you go and do that. I just did not get it.  I would love to tour that place.  But I did not like the two face turn around.  And I stand by my comments on that video. It showed you had no idea what the streaming tech has done in the past few years.  You were just all upset Roon made you upgrade your computer.  I did not think that was near accurate what you talked about.  

Like the sharks say, for those reasons I unsubscribed long before this thread was started.  Good luck in your adventures.  And by the way I ended up with the PSAudio bought used, saved a ton and it works as advertised.  Love it.  

And yes this group does have its issues, but I love the hobby and read where I can.   You guys who commented on his looks should be ashamed of yourself.  After seeing the wife watch make up girls on youtube seeing someone be themselves was a pleasure when I first found your channel.
