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


Many of you ask others to advise you, but the answer to so many questions is system dependent.  Why don’t you post your system on your profile prior to requesting help?

@mahgister ....It’s not what it looks like at the end of the day...

You need please only yourself, right? 🤷‍♂️ ;)

"Why don’t I post my...." Because it’s not ’pretty’; hasn’t been for the while I’ve been amassing it for my entertainment and (more recently) for the DIY I like to screw around with.
It’s an odd lot of pro-, ’mid-fi’ (to use a bandied-about term that some 😏 at), and a few items I deem desirable to ’do what they do’....just because,

Like mahgister, I’m in the throes of having to ’downsize’ the space it used to occupy, which wasn’t flawless in it’s ’character(s)’ to begin with.

I’ve had better, but it’s been quite awhile...having to collapse all the drivers into half the space previously occupied has been a challenge, with the results pending even now....but believing in practical magic helps... *L*

I have no need to either impress or give any a guffaw.

I abstain from making suggestions to any about what they ought to collect; I have my own "imho’s"....

...but since I’ve no means of listening to what one is either:
-hearing
-not hearing
in the space they are in, or the means (or lack of) to do what they desire...

I’ll keep my keys quiet. ;)

I’d rather play some of what I like on what I’m enjoying...

...since, imho, that’s kinda the point. *S*

I believe I posted a pic of my system at some time in the past. But I couldn't find it in that forest of system pics, and I gave up before I could make it all the way through the web page...er...Web Library of Congress. Putting it another way, I could've played every recorded performance of Lohengrin (including the time it'd take to  get out of my listening chair to flip the LPs over) in the amount of time I just spent on that wild goose chase.

Thanks for the head's up. As for those pictures, it's almost irrelevant because I am in the process of moving. The equipment will stay the same (for the most part, anyway).

Once I'm done, I'll post some updated pics, and perhaps try your recommendation and take some room measurements.

 

for the noob, or an occasional poster, i can understand it is some trouble to take good photos and post their systems, enumerating each component

for regular posters and ’contributors’, they should indeed post their systems, they should be proud to show what they use to enjoy music, and let others see what is their base of experience and basis for their commentary offered

there are many though, who don’t, despite being frequent posters with high post counts -- these are indeed problem posters, whom are usually here to agitate and provoke, or to unduly influence others - it is a tell tale sign when certain usernames post comments that are seemingly knowledgeable, strongly worded, touting x-y-z... when i see those i always click the username and see the underlying info (or lack thereof)... just try it on this thread... the fakes and agitators become quite obvious

I don’t care if my system is posted, as most of my conversations are not about or based on my personal system(s). My responses are usually not about what I have on my shelves, and my time as an audio fanatic is not all about my own current situation. It’s annoying to have a conversation for the sake of conversation on a subject where you have expertise but some numb-nut attacks your response because of what you have on the shelf even when the banter is completely unrelated. If I was "asking for help" on my system I’d state the components I was talking about at that moment, not rely on someone searching my profile. That said, I may update my system listing :-)
