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

I don't want to be robbed.

I don't want to be robbed.
 

Now the bad guys know that you are a good target.  Best be safe and delete your post. 

To be sure, this chat room is truly wonderful, as it's filled with highly intelligent folks caught up in the madness of wanting to listen to their music with the best possible fidelity. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on it, too. I got to concur, though, that if you have any urge to transact business or look at pictures, it's the proverbial riddle caught up in an enigma.

Wrapped in a conundrum?

Lol.

coralkong -- thanks for the correction!!! I knew I had the cliche wrong, but when I went into google in an attempt to get the proper wording, I discovered that google ain't the best place to receive grammatical advice. Blame it on Saturday Morning brain freeze.

@pcrhkr

Nice system. Clearly well chosen. I have a Prima Luna integrated and think it sounds great. I don’t think you need be hesitant at all to show it. Pride of ownership comes from the passion and effort you put in carefully choosing and integrating your system.

One of the principles that Robert Harley points out in The Complete guide to High End Audio is that you need not spend a fortune to put together a great system. The comparison is really to what is typical… which I guess is tv speakers… or PC speakers. I am sure yours sounds hugely better and can serve to help other folks building modest systems or starting out,

@milpai, like a few others mentioned--maybe more than a few?-- it was just so non-intuitive and I hadn't read that it was a thing before now. Since a few folks provided some simple steps, I took the plunge as I'm sure some others did, too.

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. 

For someone who laid down the gauntlet and proceeded to betray his own code in his very next post and then go onto some massive projection is a strange thing to behold.

Amusing, but strange. Please, by all means, stick to your code and stop posting.

All the best,
Nonoise

This website is so archaic you cannot post your system or see anyone's system with out contacting web support.

@nonoise

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

@mc1969 

That is not how it normally works.  Maybe there is a temporary glitch, but while the menus are a bit tricky to navigate to the right place it is simple to create one or more systems, attach photos, and identify components.

@mc1969 

It is archaic, but posting your system does not require the webmaster’s help and if you need help, see first page of this thread.

@cleeds

lol - touche!!!!

or nail clippers or scissors or an elevator 😂

I've been called worse, lol.

This prompted me to finally post mine.  No eye candy here, but endless enjoyment for me. If I had twice the income and twice the time, things might (?) be different.  I was greatly helped with both this system and my previous one by Joe (dad) and Mike (son) Heusi, currently dba "Timbre" here in the Houston area.

i will speak to anyone and listen their opinions with or without photos...

😊

I did not believe a second an image could convey the soundfield experience no more than the price tag and the listener real happiness...

And to be frank and candid i only trust for great soundfield heavily modified small dedicated acoustic room, which exclude almost everyone here...😁😁😊

Being on headphone now i am myself excluded from my own trust ... 😊

I will listen to myself in spite of this as i will listen to you even if your speakers are in a living room  and even if there is no image of this ...

Bet you have. Bet the lot of you have. This place is notorious for the anal crevasses that reside here. 

Great, another 12 yr old.

Hey @kota1 In your fanatic quest to be all consumingly correct, your field of vision must narrow a lot. The "code" I was referring to were the inane statements you made right before mine (see your posts above @10:19pm and 11:17as) and have not much to do with the OP’s premise.

All the best,

I guess you guys have never seen a user-friendly website designed in this century that wasn't a giant pain to use ... Way to lower the already ridiculously low standards here.

Overall, I'd say this site functions satisfactorily and the standards on this site are just fine. Yes, there are always a a few who abuse this free site, but they usually don't last long. If you have issues with the site's functions or standards, why  not take your complaint to the moderators? They are typically quite responsive.

I think there should be a section highlighting pictures of homes and cars for all those people who have Noteworthy Systems, and others too who are inclined to share they're lifestyles.  

We’ll call it lifestyles of the well to do and famous audiophiles.

Architectural digest never shows pictures of hi-fi systems.

@emergingsoul 

Your idea counters what I value.  I value posting systems in reference to questions and advice given.  I don’t want there to be an elite and I don’t care to see your stable of cars.  I posted this question because I had thought that many were intimidated by the high value systems.  I was hoping that this thread would help people to understand the value of posting their system and encourage members to look to the educational and communication value of posting vs looking at this as who has bragging rights.  Someone on this board is the wealthiest and someone is the poorest and I don’t care who these folks might be.

@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. 

I am barred for life!!

Another reason for posting your Virtual…members can do a search for equipment they are interested in and if it’s listed in a Virtual System it will show, they can PM the poster for information and opinions. It’s a nice feature.
Go to the Virtual Systems page and type in the Search box.

@tomic601 thanks, you’re too kind 😎

@nonoise

"Look mommy, I made poopie in the toilet. Aren’t you proud of me?" Freud is laughing it up somewhere, wishing he could rewrite some of his findings.

Aging is something everyone has to face sooner or later. When you see what you posted I think we can both agree you have moved beyond having a "senior moment" and that dementia may have reared its ugly head. hey, it can happen, I won’t beat you up, I’ll get you the help you need.

First. do you have a phone or a camera? Do you actually even own any audio equipment or do you primarily listen in your car? Maybe you lack speakers and just like to hum to yourself? Whatever, its all good. Please reply and I will try and help best I can. if you need professional help that is beyond the scope of this thread. Just start a new one, "Man With Poopy Diaper and Early Signs of Dementia Seeks Help". In the meantime I have provided a link for additional info HERE.

It does NOT function satifacorily, if you botherd to read all the many comments to the contrary. You, like the mods on this site, have your head(s) firmly in the sand. YOU may find it ok, but many, me included, do not. It IS arcaic like mc1969 says, but nothing is done - long standing members have left because of the lack of action by the mods. You/they don't accept what we are saying. The mods may be responsive, but they are dismissive in their responses. Issues can be fixed, but they don't bother, and that is not being responsive. Last page posting to a response is plain dumb - we're on page 4 now, but if I want to respond to a post on page one, it goes here, at the end = dumb and confusing. Every other forum on the planet does it right, why can't they fix it? Heads in the sand, that's why. The same goes for adding ones system. Why on Earth is it hidden? It should be accessed from ones profile - we shouldn't have to go digging around to find out where to include it.

I said it functions satisfactorily for me. I understand you don't think it functions satisfactorily for you, but that's just your opinion.

You, like the mods on this site, have your head(s) firmly in the sand.

Sometimes, people's opinions will differ from yours. That doesn't mean that they don't see the facts, or that you don't see the facts. It's how opinions work.

why can't they fix it? Heads in the sand, that's why.

The "heads in the sand" gag is an ad hominem logical fallacy. That doesn't help your argument.

The same goes for adding ones system. Why on Earth is it hidden?

It isn't hidden. Plenty of people seem to find it without any issue at all. That there's something that isn't where you think it should be doesn't mean it's "hidden."

@kota1 

You need to practice what you preach. If you're not going to talk to anyone who doesn't post photos of their system, why do you continue to do so? Such a hypocrite.

Obviously I hit a nerve (several, really, but it's just a saying). You're going around here with a tape measure, taunting like that 12 yr old I alluded to. You keep repeating yourself, trying to get the better of me and think you're making progress. Beat me up? 😄 That's a good one. 

Your clumsy attempts at snark are nothing more than "I'm rubber and your glue..." levels of arrested development on full display here for the members to see. Like I said many posts ago....grow up, move on. You're not the threat you think you are.

All the best,
Nonoise

@nonoise 

I am not going to make audio recommendations to people that don't post their system. The medical recommendations you need are beyond the scope of this thread. I hope you got the Depends, it is only a work around until you can find a physician. All the best :).

Grow up...move on.

All the best,
Nonoise

There is a difference between acting SILENTLY on a principle , which principle is to not give an info to someone who did not post any information about his system ... I can understand that , after all you need this info sometimes to advise someone... But remember that you can also received by private mail this information if the person who ask the question mean it and do not want to post his private room image here ... ( as i said i posted my room acoustic image and i received even insults by private mail )

But repeating ad nauseam in a strong voice that YOU WILL NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO PEOPLE WHO DID NOT POST THEIR SYSTEM PHOTO, is presuming that people here will be interested by your "so sensible" urge to help them to begin with, and it presume that you are so important with your advices that it sound like a threat to any member...

Perhaps it is better to keep for yourself your decision and principle...Once this is said ONE TIME...

Here we are ALL friends in principle , and we must help if we can , photo or not...

I will help you even if you dont have any images if i can help you...I hope you will understand the point...

I wish you the best sincerely...

I am not going to make audio recommendations to people that don’t post their system.

@cleeds based on the fact that my comment about the site (it wasn't so much about the site but about the comments defending the site) was removed in less than 8 hours, my feedback/constructive criticism may not be welcome.

Just a guess 👻

@mahgister : +1

I find fighting over posting system pictures here ridiculous. That’s a personal choice driven by personal considerations. There is no right or wrong.

@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. 

@kota1 

Grow up....move on.

All the best,
Nonoise

on a second thought: the comment policing here is childish at best, terrifying at worst. I grew in a dictatorship (still a dictatorship today, back there) and I am keenly aware of the State destroying free speech and any sign of criticism. Here, on this occasionally fun but mostly silly comment flow dump/absolutely harmless forum, there is zero reason to delete comments that point out the obvious that this framework/engine is so old, so outdated, it's almost like driving a vintage automobile: hard and unpleasant and scary but if you are old, it feels familiar, and brings back memories. For a normal person though, with reasonable technical skills, this site is joke.

... the comment policing here is childish at best, terrifying at worst ...

Really? You’re actually terrified at the way this forum is managed? That’s difficult to comprehend.

This is an audio forum - no more, no less. Don't lose perspective.

I am terrified by the last three years easy CONTROLS of the population..

Those who are not fearful only sleepwalk...

No need to come from a dictatorship to fear the censorship and sheep brain working... I do, and i live in a country directed by a dwarf liar of the WEF..

The moderators here seems to me to do a good job...

But many in the crowds here ask for censorship because they are brainwashed...

Is the site old fashion for his design ? yes, but i could managed it easily...

mahgister

... No need to come from a dictatorship to fear the censorship and sheep brain working...

This is just an audio forum. You're safe here.

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

There is others that express symptoms of zombiness...😊

Seriously, i can see how the general situation reflected in each one of us...

Even here...

This is just an audio forum. You’re safe here.

@mahgister 

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

Thank you, same to you :)
