OCD mickey website and negativity.

@joc3021 

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.

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. 

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.

OCD Mike sells Jeff Rowland's gear. That's enough for me.

I enjoy him and have had a few conversations with him. If or when I am in the market for new gear I will reach out to @mikepowellaudio. 

Brands like Jeff Rowland or TAD wouldn't let Mike sell their product if he wasn't legit.  I picked up a pair of F&F speakers at his house in Jan.  His wife was fantastic and a music lover as well.  She's a better salesperson than he is!  I trust Mike's ear.  I agree with him that some of the hyped lines are overpriced or sound over analytical to me.  He recently had a video where he complimented brands he doesnt rep like Borreson and Avant Garde for their rooms at Florida Audio Expo.
