OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name

I have to defend OCD guy - I had a 30 minute conversation with him, I was calling from Thailand

He gave me the time of day -I  suspect unusual in this day and age.

A very agreeable man 

OCD Mikey is a good guy. And knowledgable.

What gets me is he goes into 'his friend's' showroom and disses all of his lines, Focal and McIntosh, but calls him a "real" dealer because of the fanciness of the showroom. Isn't fanciness without substance what he rails against? I agree with the posters who say they wouldn't buy there because of the exorbitant overhead you would be helping to pay.

@fittebd +1.…What a meatball! 

I saw this video.  OCD M. did not name names.  He made clear that he respects the dealer and views them as friends, making a distinction between “hifi” and “audiophile”, which seems a valid opinion for someone to debate
