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

I got my system pics all over on other audio sites, I don't need it here. 

These kind of comments are what diminish the value of this site: "Acoustic and psycho-acoustic experiments are the heart of audio not the esthetical living room with impressive gear components , generally costly we can see..", "For example i discovered in my experiments 4 aspects of the soundfield, all reviewers know only two... And they can afford the best gear ever... Why ?".

My reply to comment 1 is: you can have both and the people I know have both. I have built 5 dedicated listening rooms in 5 different custom homes with acoustics, golden ratios, and power requirements in mind before driving the 1st nail. 

Comment 2: how do you know others haven't discovered more than 2? 

I'm a part timer here as well mainly because of some of the posts like the 2 above and others wanting to know what is the best sounding speaker. Of course the post will receive tens/hundreds of replies all indicating that their speakers are the best which more confuses the OP.

For example, What a more high end site would be discussing are the values of: diffusers at reflection points vs. traps; what sq differences did someone hear when using X speaker positioning method over another; sq differences between i2s vs ethernet vs XX; sq differences between using a preamp vs no preamp; sq differences using a standard network switch vs an audio network switch. More personal evaluations on what they heard when doing their own evaluations on exxperimenting. Everybody experiments in this hobby, some of us build new audio rooms, some of us buy new equipment, and some move their speakers 1/2 in any direction trying to find the best sq.

I’m definitely going to post pictures of my setup, just as soon as I complete this next upgrade.  I’ve been saying that for the past ten years.

2. Click on your user name in the upper right hand corner.

3. Click on "help"

4. Click on the box that says "Virtual Systems"

5. Click on "How do I create and edit my virtual system?"

6. Good luck.

I would guess that there are numerous reasons for people not posting their systems.

1. Laziness.

2. Don’t feel there is a need to do so.

3. Don’t know how to.

4. Feel self conscious about their system because it didn’t cost six figures like many systems on here.

5. Many people don’t want to make their personal situation public for a variety of reasons.

That being said, there are certain people on this site that I would love to see what they listen to.

We can read a post in two ways: for the positive content or intent or to confirm our own bias or to whine for the sake of it ...

The focus main point and the most important fact in audio hobby circle around acoustic and psycho-acoustic more than gear engineering which come in second...

This is a FACT... Psycho-acoustic science rule design not the reverse...

Prove me wrong instead of whining against my post...

 

Second You ask why i know it is not so common to know that MOST people dont know about the 4 components of a soundfield ?

Simple ; if you are of good faith look for reviews, more than one, where it is CLEARLY suggested that there is not only imaging and soundstage but also holographic volume of each sound sources and immersiveness as defined by the ratio and timing between the sound sources dimensions and the listener position...GIVE ME CLEAR EXAMPLE...

Knowing concretely something is also being able to create it and control it...I discovered these 4 aspects in my own room axcoustic experiments..

I dont remember reading a review where there is much more than Timbre experience, the most basic factor and two of the soundfield factors not four CLEARLY described ...FIND ME ONE WHICH IS EXPLICITLY SAID THAT THERE IS NOT TWO... Among all thousands reviews on the net probably only very very few mention these 4 aspects... Reviewers focus on the GEAR they must sell not on acoustic experience...

 

Try to be friendly first, second give me an ARGUMENT if you think i am wrong... Not your whining, but argument ...Good luck...

i never complaint myself without ARGUMENTS... because it is that will make this site bad not my enumerating evident facts...

acoustic matter more than the cost of gear...

There is 4 components aspects of the soundfield not two...And not only most people dont know it , they dont know how to control them in a room this is why they dont experience them ...

You know why ?

It is very HARD and complex to do...

You know why ?

Because small room acoustic cannot be optimized by general recipe as there is all over the internet...

you know why ?

It is because all small room differ a lot by size, geometry, topology and acoustic content, and the owners hearing differ too...

Then forget general recipe for children...

Experimenting in small room acoustic is not buying panels and changing the speakers location...

Much more to do than that..

By the way my post intent was also to put at ease those of us who dont have costly system in dedicated esthetical room and invite them to put their system image without being ashamed because how a system sound for his owner is not on an image ..

Acoustic experience matter more than esthetic and cost of the system...PERIOD...
