What does your Virtual System page say about you? 

@newbee Doh! I didn't think about just listing my components, without pictures, as you did. That would solve my "too messy to photograph while moving too frequently" problem. Maybe I'll add a virtual system soon...

I also wonder if people who use multiple sources tend to be "speakers first" out of practicality, and sole-source people list "source first" more often... for space reasons, I gave up vinyl in favor of streaming (+ a CD transport for albums I have that are not available on streaming). But being 98% streaming, I'm biased toward creating my listing "source first"...

OP, Get out your phone and take a photo, post in the virtual system area. Takes only a minute. you can post a new photo with each change. It would be fun to watch. 

@ghdprentice I will do so this weekend. Thanks for the push.

You are assuming all order is a conscious decision. 

Subconscious could be enlightening, too. I know some people who stock their pantry all labels facing forward, and some who are more haphazard. May not be a conscious decision, but if I were armed with this information, it might influence who I would hire as a project manager...

Think for most of us, our virtual systems are just a moment in time. They are constantly changing and evolving. 

Bingo!

OK, finally listed a Virtual System https://www.audiogon.com/systems/11907

Thanks for the push, @ghdprentice ​​@jond and others.

Please forgive the messiness; this is a temporary location and I’m just not putting any work into clean cabling / room treatment.

I opted for "source(s) to speakers" as an order, with a few things (ICs, speaker cables) tacked on at the end. It seemed to make sense to me.

@macg19 Ain’t nothing wrong with being a 3!

Thanks, @ghdprentice !
