Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?

I would ask why don’t you post your measurements on your profile? For a newbie, I get it, but for those members here with 500+ posts, its time. :) I can’t imagine the amount of useless recommendations people make because some component helped their system just because there room is out of whack. It would be the equivalent of someone recommending a painting they saw without their glasses on.

@coralkong

I measure in room FR with software in my processor and my preamp. REW is free and that works for most people. I don’t measure components, just how components interact with my room.

FYI

Looking at the pics of your system I see them with and without panels on the front wall. If it were me I would have measured before and after. I also see that drop ceiling. If it were me I would remove some of the panels and install Auralex Geofusors or T-Fusors in their place. I bet they would slide right in.

With that window on the left wall I see that curtain, is that acoustic fabric?

@mdalton 

That blue TT looks like art and the vintage system looks really stylish.

Have you given any thought to those windows behind the big rig? If you look at my system you'll see how I was able to "treat" a problem window in my room without blocking the light :).

@tomic601 

You have got a great eye, nice shots. My favorite is when you popped the top and displayed the circuits of one of your amps, great idea. My second favorite was the one with the wine glass in it. Great job on your rooms and your system page.

The "audio karens" on this site rarely have a system posted, brag about their (imaginary) creds and luxurious systems, at the end of the day they might as well be living in the basement with an AM radio that is 20 years old with too much time on their hands.

Even the most humble system and blurry pic demonstrates the sincerity of the member who is posting.

@buckhorn_cortez 

I worked in an audio store for two years and worked with and heard hundreds of pieces of equipment in a multitude of configurations including different interconnecting cables, and speaker cables. I’ve worked with professional sound reinforcement equipment and studio recording equipment

And I DJ at the Taj Mahal and designed hand made speakers out of rare earth metals for the Sultan of Brunei. I also made secret headphones once for James Bond himself. Oh, did I take any pics! How DARE you....😂

Put up or shut up please!!

@nonoise 

The guy that was worried about my "fee fee" and wanted to know if I was 12 is now calling moi the troll?

No, quite the opposite, nonoise.

From now on I'm not going to answer questions about components or systems unless the OP has posted their system.

It just occurred to me that every belligerent, annoying troll I have encountered on audio forums (ALL of them), are grandiose at typing, shouting and insulting others, yet rarely have a system of their own posted. They have grandiose views of themselves, but can't back up a nickel of their BS. 

@nonoise

My system is in my profile per my "code", thank you for proving my point in the follow up post:

@linnvolk 

I really like your setup, looks very inviting. Did you triamp your speakers?

@nonoise 

Why are you so miserable? Wait, I know, you see pics of all these fantastic systems built by audio fanatics and you got nothing...

If I were you I guess I would be miserable. In all fairness though you don't behave like a 12 year old, more like a misguided old soul that wishes he had a SOA 9.3.8 immersive surround system with a 120 inch 4K screen like mine and is just envious. 

@mahgister 

You are polite and wise... I feel safe speaking to you...

Thank you, same to you :)

@mahgister

we must NEVER segregate people on this basis...

we must NEVER segregate people on this basis...

1) If some people feel this is facebook and just like to talk, fine. (segment 1)

2) Then you got trolls that just want attention (segment 2)

3) Then you got noobs that generally need advice (segment 3)

4) Then you got "enthusiasts", the members with audio "kaizen" (look it up) that are saesoned experts. I don’t always agree with them, but they got their system down like THEY want, good (segment 4)

The people in segment 2 never post pics cuz they got nothing.

The people in segment 3 got no pics cuz they are noobs, all good.

The people that pretend they are in segment 4 that got no pics I reshuffle into segment 2. If they can’t even use a camera how in the hell can they operate a turntable or a streamer? Not. They got no business advising anyone, especially segment 3 cuz poor noobs will just burn a hole in their pocket listening to segment 2 trolls. Thus, a pic is generally a good way for people to see if someone is just in segment 1 (fine), or a flaming troll from segment 2. In other words a pic verifies if you are real segment 4 member or not.

YMMV 🤟

@mahgister 

Pics help you

@mahler123 

 There is no way I could describe my system in one post, no way. If someone wants to know how to put diffusors up in there room I could yammer and stammer for a while OR yammer and then end with, see my system as an example.

If someone asks how do I improve my center channel I could drone on about center channels and in reality only have a two channel system at home OR say look, I aligned my tweeters of all 3 front speakers on the same plane. Then, I added a second center channel above my 120 inch screen to anchor the dialogue better. Without pics good luck figuring out how to do that.

Now, let's say I ask for help re: MY system. Do you know much better advice I get here when my system is posted already? It's like specific, dialed in. 
So if you want to take advantage of the collective brain trust of segment 4 "enthusiasts" and avoid the collective brain drain nonsense of segment 2 trolls, post pics,

BTW, @nonoise 

@nonoise 

You're doing a fine job of it already.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words😁

@nonoise 

I post pics of my hobby, what's yours? LOL📻

@nonoise 

Talk, talk, talk, you got no games, just a poddy mouth. Clearly a wanna be pretender with an iphone.

@nonoise 

I post pics of my hobby, what's yours? LOL📻

Well, right now it's you.

I'm supposed to be flattered?

It's just a game here that some @nonoise love to play. It's all they   he have to fall back on.

So, you like to play games here and I am your hobby? Now I get it.

@bolong

This conversation became silly when you stated your mid-fi system was in danger if you posted a pic💤

@vonhelmholtz 

I think you got your question answered though. About 10% of people who don't post pics don't really care. About another 10% haven't learned how to use the website. The 80%  left that don't post pics are the "degenerates" doing the degenerating by hiding their tacky stereo systems with tactless posting skills, simple.

I have a whole house audio system in a addition to the 9.3.8 system in my media room. I will try and post a pic of my desktop system. If you look at the equipment in my media room I have a Sony TAZH1-ES pre/dac/headphone amp. My Paradigm Reference Active 40 speakers have both XLR and RCA inputs with a toggle switch. The XLR inputs connect to my Marantz processor. The RCA inputs connect to my Sony TAZH1-ES. If I want dedicate two channel all I have to do is flip the toggle switch. You can see the back of those speakers with the plate amps in a pic on my virtual system page. Will try and get the desk top posted too.

@bikeboy52 

Posted the desktop system. I am a Carver fan boy and the Sunfire preamp/Carver amp makes those JBL 230's sound huge. The soundstage extends from floor to ceiling as well as wall to wall.

@coralkong 

You are spot on of course about who the wanna be's are in this thread. Hell, if I had to listen in my car I wouldn't post anything either.

@bikeboy52

Another reason to go with active speakers, notice the XLR and RCA inputs with the toggle switch:

Now I can run the pre-outs from the Sony TAZH1-ES to the RCA inputs. It has its own remote control so it doubles as my dedicated two channel system, tada!

@nonoise

You know why you gotta post memes? Because you got no actual system to post,

😫😫😫

@thyname 

I agree, but notice all the people that are whining trolls are the ones that got no system, no pics, and no game. 

Ah, there’s that 12 yr old wit.

At least this 12 y/o has a system, LOL.

@jetter 

Since we have roughly the same number of posts I could say the same to you. However, you DID post your system so fine, let's discuss.

I see windows, hardwood floors, and some fine gear. My opinion is if it were my room I would measure the FR of the room and then drill down on room treatments. 
Let me know if you need help, NP :)

@nonoise 

I've been holding back a lot

Good, you are almost there, just try a little bit harder. Maybe try a new thread?

I've been holding back a lot

Keep trying 🔇

Oh, you posted a pic of your system? Nice job, but, that isn't the type of "woofer" I would recommend. 😂

and I hear your "expecting" an "active" little woofer who I guess will be the "center" of your attention for a while. I think you started a thread right?

What does that even mean??

It means that unlike the pretenders in this thread that got nothing but memes to post because they got no game, @ghdprentice doesn’t need to post dumb memes of dogs, he is building an "active center" channel speaker with the kind of "woofer" that we generally mean in this forum (although I get he has two pet dogs from his response).

@roxy54

Of course your you’re correct, thx

@vonhelmholtz

I wasn’t sure if I should laugh, or cry

Don’t cry, that would be even more effeminate.

BTW, thanks for starting this thread, now I got TWO systems posted instead of one.

@nonoise 

Give it a rest, @vonhelmholtz doesn't need advice from a guy that has nothing to post but his "woofers". Just go back to your car and:

@nonoise

Saw the pic that you posted, hope you can save enough money to buy a second speaker. BTW, I get the WAF thing and if skeletor has other plans for your budget (like another facelift LOL), I get it.

@jjss49

I see we are both Carver fans, nice amp. BTW, I use those same Mapleshade speaker cables in my system in the man cave, Pierre Sprey knew his stuff, RIP.

@doyle3433 

Is the reason you have all of those hard wood surfaces that are untreated due to WAF?

@roxy54 

Untreated rooms have an uneven frequency response, I meant using room treatments. You can see what I mean if you check out my virtual system, I posted Anthony Grimani's "acoustic recipe". For those of you following along who are concerned about the WAF they make panels that are also decorative, I just used Auralex panels like they would treat a studio with.

https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/beginners-guide-acoustic-treatment

Yep, talk about WAF, she said it was either her or the room treatments and I guess you can see how that worked out.😁

Seriously, I found a great video series of interviews of Anthony Grimani who was also nice enough to exchange e-mail with me. I also received some helpful advice on treating a room for immersive audio from the Dubstage Studios AND Wilhelm Van Balen (owner of Galaxy studios and founder of Auro 3D). The basic blueprint I followed was the Grimani "recipe" which you see I posted as well. Check the :49 minute mark in this video:
