Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?


I’m always surprised, and a little saddened, at the number of members who don’t bother to post details and pictures of their own systems in their profile.  This is often where I learn the most, providing straightforward, data-centric information. We have contributors, posting nearly daily, pontificating even, but don’t demonstrate or show-off their own setups.  To me, seeing one’s system is part of their overall audiophile bona fides. What are the reasons so many folks don’t share their own systems with this community?

I have posted my gear, and I find it interesting to see what others have done. There are many approaches to system building, no right or wrong, just different.  I can understand why some may be reluctant to post photos, and wouldn't judge someone's opinion based on that, or what gear they own.

I think it is most useful to have a members pictures posted when they are seeking advice about making a change or solving a problem. You can get a point of reference to give them some guidance. I find it hard to be helpful when they list a bunch of components model numbers (I have a Rex 443, rex 984, BlaBal 22,...etc.) in their post and I've never heard of them. You then have to google every piece to see what their all about before getting an idea again of what is happening in their system. JMHO.

I find it difficult to door I would. I agree that help a lot. Especially when people are looking for recommendations on new gear. It tells a lot about the sound you're after and the amount you want (or need) to spend.

Should point out in general, it’s a good idea to limit the information one provides on the internet especially when there is open access, but it is up to the individual to determine what’s best for them.
