Why no Virtual System pics??


I’m surprised that not more people have pictures off their set-ups... there are very few contributors, some regular contributors, some long time members, with zero pictures of their systems..
Why do you think that is?  Are they worried that someone is going to steal their stereo because they see pictures of it?  Or are people ashamed of their systems?  
I don’t get it.  It’s much easier to understand where someone is coming from when you see their setup!

post some pictures people!!!  Sheesh


It’s like showing up to the basket ball court with no ball.  Going to the ski slopes, sittin in the lodge, talking about how awesome the powder is with no ski’s.

OP, I couldn't agree more actually, unless they have easy no-cash and carry stuff. 👍

Maybe all class-D pocket size jewels?

@oldhvymec - I bought MDF flatpacks for the speakers from GR and did the assembly and finishing (including paint) myself.

I do post some photos of my system, but I do it on the "Friendly Forum for High-End Audio." That’s a place where people actually go to talk about audio and music.

By comparison, Audiogon is a cesspool. Right now there is a thread that contains posts promoting white privilege, slavery and bestiality. And then there are the users who come only to argue, demand scientific testing from others, insist we’re deluded, and on and on and on. And let's not forget the right-wing conspiracy whackos and the links they share to promote their brand of hate and intolerance.

Audiogon reached a new low this week with a post extolling the joys of gay anal sex in a doctor’s office. If you wonder why user Noble100 hasn’t posted here since May 26, now you know. I’m sure he’ll return after his "time-out." In the interim we’ll just have to settle for the renderings of the forum’s other deviants.

None of this is to suggest that Audiogon is worthless. But no, I’m not going to post photos here.
i’ve had pictures of my room on Audiogon since 2004 when i built my room.

https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/615

it’s the most visited Audiogon private (non dealer) room by far. but relatively little activity in recent years. even though i’ve tried to keep my room thread up to date; that’s just not the focus of the forum anymore.

for years i had many audiogon members comment on that room thread almost daily. and there were other rooms that also had lots of activity. so system descriptions and feedback was a big part of audiogon. but then the forum changed, the focus of forum ownership changed, and many long time audiogon’ers moved on to other forums with more serious high end focus.

i use to post about lots of system and room changes and ideas on my Audiogon system thread, but as there was little or no feedback on those comments, now those posts are done on different forums and get lots of activity and that’s where i hang mostly.

now audiogon is a different animal. you have to dig to find content with substance. lot’s of agenda’s, and the audiogon community has generally moved down market. which is not anything bad, just less relevant for higher end gear talk. maybe one out of 10 threads i even bother to look at.

and system picture pages don’t get much attention. logically people just don’t bother with things that are not ’happening’.
