Who else wants to keep their system secret?

For 15 years I have assembled a system that I think is really good for music and video. My system has been affected by location,income,spouse and reviews from Sound and Vision and Home Theater. Reading almost all forums and not seeing any of my components mentioned has made me feel like I missed something. I am grateful for all I have learned from the forums but I am not sure I want to face them. Who else has a system they are happy with, but would rather not reveal?

3 systems, always moving stuff around. I put equipment on shelves backwards and sideways for easy access and it doesn't look pretty, so no pics either, maybe one day

I'm probably still going to hell so maybe I shouldn't have given up my reservation.

99% of people, even on here on A'gon, would have no clue what my this sounds like.

Your system is like the window to your audiophile soul.

Without it .....your opinion is life-less & empty.

It doesn't hurt to open up just a little.
Good or bad.....doesn't matter.

I post my system because a few guys here actually put it together for me because of my financial and health reasons and I am super proud of it too!

I haven't posted my system for a very simple reason that I suspect many who frequent these posts share. I have mostly scavenged used pieces when they seem to be an especially good bargain. I feel that for an audiophile to share useful information, a system must be put together with more experimentation; making discriminating choices about synergy, room requirements, etc. One then knows that the "final" elements reflect real choices rather than chance opportunities. That is not to say that I am not happy with my "luck", but I feel that it would not be helpful to anyone else. I do appreciate the posts of people who have had the ability to obtain what they actually like the best. I also, necessarily tend to stay well behind the curve and try to pick up pieces that were raved about 10 to 20 years ago. I am just going to have to live 10 to 20 years longer than everyone else, so I can try to catch up!
Enjoy the music!
