OCD mickey website and negativity.

Respectfully, Audio Note dealers are happy to explain in granular detail what’s inside the boxes, and explain why what’s inside matters. They are also generally amenable to removing the covers to show prospective buyers the circuitry.

Audio Note owner, Peter Qvortrup, a consummate gentleman, will answer questions as comprehensively as one requires. He’s remarkably easy to contact, and seemingly always has time for a customer.

That’s nice to hear about explaining what’s inside the mystery box. Maybe mikey can do a video on this. I wish more videos about what goes on inside the mystery boxes would be done. Also would be nice to hear explanations about crossover electronics used inside all these noteworthy speakers everybody talks about. Crossover electronics really impact the sound and I hear that lots of speaker manufactures try to save money on what they install because no one focusses on this stuff. 

He's entertaining, has a point of view that he's pretty clear about, has legitimate background/experience in the industry and no apparent agendas beyond what he says.  He often proclaims he's just another jackass on you tube with an opinion.  I have no problem with any of it.  He's more straightforward and honest about what he's doing than most "experts" on youtube or in the magazines.  He fashions himself as the "black sheep" and anti establishment, which gets a little shop-worn, but he mostly is.  If you don't like his schtick, don't watch it.

The OCD Mikey schtick is a like it or not proposition.  However, his ecstatic announcement about baiting Audiogon members, exposing handles, and making unsupportable accusations is not the actions of an honest person with no agenda.  That action was driven by an agenda mixed with a big dose of ego, make no mistake. If you think that stunt was OK, then a whole different discussion about what constitutes an upstanding ethical person.

The just another fool on Youtube with an opinion act does not wash.  No amount of "aw shucks, I am just a little guy speaking the truth, really, trust me, I'm on your side" Barnum & Bailey act can cover up the fact Mikey is part of the high end audio industry.

Yeah, Audio Note UK spends a little time on their crossovers. In fact, in their signature speaker models, some of the capacitors are the size of soda cans. They spend an incredible amount of time on their crossovers….and its a two-way.
