Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?

In my case I haven't posted my system largely because of inertia and a little embarrassment. I have looked at several member's system and I appreciate that they took the time to photograph and detail them.

I have 4 racks of components and my cable management is terrible. My system looks messy and I envy those of you who have compact neat systems. I also have no room treatment but my room has a lot of absorption and diffusion and my system sounds pretty darn good.

I'm presently undergoing a major upgrade of my digital components and when I replace several pieces with the new ones I will tidy things up and post my system. My guess is that I probably have more stuff (multiple sound processors, CD players, DACs, transports, equalizers, R2R and cassette decks, etc.) than most Agon forum users so my system is unusual in that regard and may be of some interest.

@audioguy85 its plain stupid we cant post pics here. actually its disfunctional. hell, its both. 

@vonhelmholtz Great post. Be it a boom box or a 200 K++ system/room as the heart of all these discussions revolves around equipment used for the joy of music some images or at least some verbiage would help authenticate the user.

How many of us after reading someone’s post check out their details and check their system(s)? I often do.

The whole anonymous user thing has pluses and minuses. If I had to say who I was and where I was (Anytown USA, FYI) that might reduce a lot of snark but maybe for some be a worry about robbers or adoring fans?

I’m so appreciative of the kindness and guidance from some here that the dummies edicts matter not.

And on the sales side after learning on the forum side the whole Agone allowed me to purchase most of my equipment as new at tremendous savings. ( That’s what I tell my wife…..works for me. Not!)

HaHa look at me! Thanks for the help guys. I managed to get some pics loaded.

I will work on taking better ones and doing a better job on my description.

Thanks @ghdprentice ​​​​@jtcf! 

I don’t do Farcebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. though I’m registered on some of them just for the purpose of reading and gathering information. I’ve recently had my personal info hacked through a 3rd party business interest with my retirement fund and have to now use Experian to monitor my accounts (a free service due to the hack).

I’ve always been wary of public sharing sites no matter how innocuous and have been proven correct in that assessment. One of my sisters created a Farcebook account for me (having my personal info) which I never used and when I had my account hacked and taken over by some crooks in Poland, I finally closed out the account.

There have been bots on this site vying for info. That should set off some alarm bells. On the matter of "proudly posting my system for legitimacies sake", get a life. I’ve already posted shots of it in a few posts anyway for illustrative purposes in a few threads and that’s enough for me.

Pride of ownership is one thing but flying your flag reeks of needing attention and/or exclusivity, as if that makes you more serious than the next guy.

All the best,
