2. Source(s) first priority.
3. Multiple/similar products listed signifies products that are still rotated in/out of the system from time-to-time.
What does your Virtual System page say about you?
I was browsing through virtual systems today, and noticed three major categories:
- People who list their components from speakers to source(s)
- People who list their components from source(s) to speakers
- People who appear to have a hodgepodge of equipment listed
I would hypothesize that people in group #1 belong to the "speakers first" school of system design, and people in group #2 are "source first".
Are the people in group #3 indifferent? Disorganized? Or listed their equipment in either "speakers first" or "source first" order initially, but as their systems evolved, removed things they sold and then tacked new acquisitions to the end of the list?
If you find yourself groups 1 or 2, can you confirm or refute the hypothesis?
If you are in group 3, what's your methodology? Did your system evolve over time? Or is the listing order just not important to you?
Not sure there are any deep psychological implications, but I was just curious.
(Yes, I know I don't have a virtual system listed. I am currently moving too frequently to get a setup I'm not embarrassed to photograph; I will add a virtual system listing hopefully near the end of this year)

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. |
@sfgak - everything is important in a system, really - I wouldn’t read much into the categories you stated. If any one puts things in an order, it’s more for organisational purposes than importance 😉 In friendship - kevin |
