OCD mickey website and negativity.


I see videos from this individual frequently he's got a show every night almost on YouTube which is live. It's interesting.

I'm not familiar with the brands on his website and he doesn't seem to be happy about lots of stuff. He visits stores and complains about how terrible their equipment is and that no one knows what they're doing without really explaining him himself.

I've learned many things from him but I don't know why his gear that he represents seems lacklustre, I'm not gonna mention it here but maybe I'm wrong. There are many outstanding so-called higher end audio gear that's out there and he doesn't seem to carry any of it.

How hard is it for dealers to find manufacturers who will allow them to sell their product ?

If I wanted to become a dealer and start selling audio gear can I just call manufacturers and say hey can I sell your gear to a bunch of customers I have?

And then do I have to whine and dine these manufacturers to convince them how good it would be to do business with me? And then do I have to commit to spending a lot of money to buy the products at wholesale and then they allow me to start selling their products?

This seems pretty easy.

So these videos that I watch are a dance between the dealer and the manufacturer. If I do a good job recommending their product and showcasing it can I then begin to sell their product?

So many currents of activity going on. And then you have to decide whether what you’re hearing is the truth or just people finding ways to promote and sell products.

From a review of Verastarr Grand Illusion Cables.  Sounds like exactly what OCD Mikey rails against, doesn't it?  Oh the hypocrisy!

To the Moderator that removed my original response, I want a specific and precise explanation why.  Nothing in my comments is any different than sentiment expressed in this thread or many others on Audiogon relating to deceitful behavior. 

OCD Mikey came to Audiogon, by his own admission and pointed out by hilde45, to bait individuals, publish handles, and levy unproven accusations of being shills in a video. What are you doing about that??

 

A very good question, does the behavior violate terms of service ? Possibly more importantly does the behavior constitute defamation or slander ?

@hilde45

I just watched the rant you mentioned and crap like that is why I left his channel. I guess he doesn’t know that there are thousands of of threads started here every year a people post on what interests them.  I also guess if you make a mistake, you’re a shill. I guess I’m almost a shill because I have more than 100 posts.

New video was just released tonight by OCD Mikey - it was an audio note gear listening session titled ‘unleashed’. Interesting.

Video was basically pure sound from beginning to end, a bunch of edgy sounds all mixed together and I guess you’d have to be there too appreciate it, maybe.

Personally I really didn’t like it. And would need to be medicated to enjoy it.

Somehow this is intended to demonstrate that audio note can handle anything. Maybe that’s true. I sure wish these listening sessions had commentary explaining why the hell this system sounds different or better than other systems if that’s even possible and if not possible what the hell are they doing this for. Please tell us about the components, and we did learn that parts of what they sell are handmade somewhere in England as if that’s supposed to be helpful.

Basically these are mystery boxes and no one knows what the heck goes on inside them and maybe they sound a bit different from other systems. I guess if you pay someone lots of money for one of these mystery boxes you can trust everything’s OK. For many people it’s just as easy as passing over the plastic card and it’s all yours.
