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?

For me, prefer not to show people what I have. In general, it's not my nature. Not for fear that someone will connect the dots and come to my house. Also, I did not want to hear criticism of my setup. But..... I posted a question about something on this forum and one of the responses was that it would be helpful to know what I had. Then I figured that to get a higher resolution answer I'll need to show my system. That's when I said go for it and post. I'm glad I did. It's been rewarding to hear from others. Received good advice and pointers. Gave me direction on where I can optimize my system. For those who have helped me, thank you.

I can't imagine there would be much criticism of your setup. You have a great looking-likely even better sounding-system. Very impressive.

I can’t believe how many people don’t post their systems.  Just because I don’t post my system isn’t a good excuse.

I’m trying to get things just right and maybe some day I might be inspired to expose my private world.  There are so many awesome systems however that have been posted. It’s amazing what some people have accomplished and it’s great they’ve taken the time to share it all. This is probably the best place on the planet you can see such an extensive collection of audio systems.  

For those people who have gone to the trouble to post their systems, the only thing I would request is they take more care to identify the individual components to go along with the model name and number.  

It could also be informative to list past or no longer used components, systems.
