    Default YouTuber - OCD HI-Fi Guy

    The guy is Mike Powell. He's quite well known in the American Hi-Fi community. Think he posts around on Audiogon.

    Anyone here heard of him?

    His channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiO...bKBHYlTfMAtHTw

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    This man is beyond insane. Just look at those cables when he goes behind the speaker.

    And he's pushing his own stuff... yuck..

    He's a forthright character. I actually find Mike entertaining. But some of his work I find just plain over the top. I can see the snake-oil nonsense on some of his videos.

    But as always, each to their own.

    With a listening room like that, he hardly has OCD.
    One of his amps is all wonky...

    I've twice resisted the temptation to post on this, but now I will.

    He comes across as somebody unable to construct a clear coherent sentence, he mumbles, and pauses in order to try to get a few words together, seems to belch, and gives the impression of being on some kind of anti anxiety medication affecting his performance.

    He is opinionated, vacuous in content, but thinks he is providing some kind of revelatory insight by stating what is fairly widely and well known.

    But You Tube encourages everyone, after all that Blairite 'we all have a valid opinion' political correctness, which ignores the fact that some people study and develop real expertise, but are relatively modest about it, and the web is full of egotistical twats talking banalities.
