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

I spent a great deal of time on here before posting my system learning and planning what I wanted to buy. I literally had nothing but a Sansui receiver and some old Dynaco speakers. It sounded ok but I wanted to learn. I will say I checked the virtual system of almost anyone who posted advice to see where they leaned on the audio spectrum and to see if they practiced what they preached. It took many years of patience and planning to get where I’m at now.
 

I do think it is our responsibility to further this hobby by sharing all that we can once that valuable experience has been gained. There are many ways to set up systems and enjoy them. I’ve listened to many that sound great which are very different from mine. I also encourage everyone to develop and update their virtual systems so that others can see what decisions we make and that there is a path to what they are looking for. I welcome anyone to PM me and ask what my process is, that is what this site is about. I don’t want this hobby to disappear in the throws of self righteousness because people are arguing that there is only one path to audio nirvana. . . Everyone’s senses interpret the world differently. Sound is one of the few things that enters our brains with no filters or “cannons” that we compare. It is pure emotive joy which is similar to the emotional power of color field paintings. This is what makes this hobby so interesting in my opinion. So take a few minutes and show what you’ve got and let us know what you’d like to do. . .
 

I am very excited about my new dspNexus crossover. I just finished building my system in Audio Weaver, and am about to do surgery on all my cords to cut them to length and re-solder my balanced connectors back on. I can rid myself of the mini DSP terminal block. I’ll be re-measuring my room at 192K and will have twice the fidelity with measurable real time processing. It’s going to be a big weekend! I wish you all the best on your own journeys.

First place in this thread! Wow, what a great job both on your system, the room, the equipment, the photos. I have never seen the type of blueprint drawings before in a thread, excellent. I also appreciated the before and after graph of your room, did you do that with the mini dsp? Just great!

@kota1 Thanks! I really love this stuff. The results were awesome with the Mini DSP. The new dspNexus will be even better with much higher quality DACs dedicated to each channel and the newest SHARC audio processor; all measurements and processing done at 192K. I will post the results by the end of the day Monday with pics of the system built in Audio Weaver. I can’t wait to hear the difference. 

@hifidream

You get it, you have to intertwine the subjective with the objective to make "budget worthy" decisions. It is so straight forward, not difficult, and much less expensive than new equipment upgrades without getting the room calibrated properly. IMO. Please let me know your thoughts on the system and graphs I have posted in my profile. Look forward to hearing about the dspNexus upgrade, thanks,

Another old fool that got no pics, why don’t you start a club with the other keyboard warriors:

"Mama took our kodachrome away"

Just saw this insult to me as I believe it was temporarily deleted.

@kota1 ,

You know, there was a recent time where I would find you an irrelevant, amusing distraction and would respond in kind to your post, although in a much more clever way than you are capable. As @nonoise has already shown, you have neither the wit, nor the skill to be up to the challenge. You are not worth wasting my time and energy on. Why I choose to not post pictures of my system is neither yours nor anyone’s business. But by all means, keep obsessing about it. It’s apparently what people at your level of maturity do.
