Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?

I just mention what I have within the context of a conversation - my system is not that complicated - TT (arm comes with it), phono stage, integrated amp and speakers. When it comes up, power conditioner and/or vibration control add ons It's not in a dedicated room and I don't need to have people looking at my den..

I tried posting picts of my system several years back, but I must have been doing something wrong as they wouldn't post, so I gave up and haven't thought about it since.

Since then my system has had a couple of changes, so whatever would have been posted then would be different now.

On posts, I occasionally mention what equipment I have or am interested in, so it's no big secrete. One day, when I'm feeling ambitious, I might get some updated phots and get them posted.

The photos aren't the important thing, its about the equipment, this isn't a beauty contest. This all about context, actual experience counts, this why members should maintain past as well as present equipment on virtual system list.

​​​​​​You’re right that it isn’t a beauty contest. Yet, every picture tells a story.

There appears to be a limit to how many photos can be loaded at any one time.

I find completing the virtual system to be a useful exercise. It helps set the context by understanding how the system has developed over time, so one can assess the current set up and consider any future changes. Sometimes, familiarity breeds content. Alternatively, it’s possible to slip into complacency. Setting everything out logically, allows one to make a realistic appraisal of the system’s capabilities and enjoy music on it to the max.

Plus no idea is worthwhile unless it can be communicated. I've made occasional bad choices in the past. Hopefully, looking dispassionately at where my system is now will stop me repeating my mistakes.
