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?

Respectfully, GE

I change gear too often. It would not be practical for me, I would rather listen to music or surf the ads. And I have only been here for 25 years, so there is plenty more time.

I’m not sure that it really speaks to experience anyway, I have worked for nine different audio retailers and moderated a couple of audio forums. To me, that speaks to experience more than what I own at the moment does. But really, it doesn’t tell you what real gear sounds like in a real room any more than a picture, or video, does.

If you have a person that has a fantastic system, but does not have experience with other gear and doesn’t go to shows, dealers, or is not a member of a club, well that base of experience is somewhat limited. But just like me, this is an open forum and I don’t care about other member’s sadness and what bona fides legitimize anyone’s opinions, I would rather just hear what they have to say, YMMV.
