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.

I described my audio system appearance in my room with some word of 4 letters that make my post erased by moderator... :)

I am ashamed of my system look in my very full room....

But make no mistake, I am very proud of the S.Q. for the price over the roof...Read my audiophile laws in my "virtual system" page....

No money is necessary at all to enjoy Hi-Fi.... It is a myth.... My virtual image are there to illustrate some of my homemade tweaks controls methods for the 3 embeddings that's all....Hope for the poor audiophile... :)

Mike, nobody has ever given me the finger listening to my system. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten it in the 911’s. On the bright side I get just as many thumbs up.

to be clear, not everyone likes my system or even the pictures, nor need they like it. lots of people have different tastes or preferences. sometimes i feel i should have not gone as far, but too late now i guess.

when i have visitors the idea is to have fun. and i think visitors do have fun listening to my system, the music rises above the gear lust, or lack thereof.

my most regular visitor and friend has different gear tastes than me, and his feedback always helps me.

i do like my system, and i do enjoy it.

Based on my observation of this resource, many folks feel ashamed or inferior to post their system, especially if it doesn’t have Pass, Luxman, Vitus and Gryphon in it (let’s be honest, it’s been years since majority has been bringing up only the same brands). Also, there are posters who are here simply for shilling, flaming  or trolling.

I think anybody who has the ability to recommend something MUST post his/her system, otherwise, personally, I won’t take their opinions as serious. Others shouldn’t either.
