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


Many of you ask others to advise you, but the answer to so many questions is system dependent.  Why don’t you post your system on your profile prior to requesting help?

It bothers me. Doesn't bother me more than an SUV taking up 2 spaces a the supermarket or dog poop on my side walk, but it does bother me. Enough to comment on it.

In general, there is no need for someone to post images of his room...

He can always specify his system details on demand if he need to...

There is many reasons why someone could not dare to post his private room...

As i said , believe it or not, i even received harassing posts by some in my private mail box...

I am thick skin and i let my room posted and my experimental devices...

But not all people are like me...

There is many others legitimate reasons...

But nevermind the reasons, we must NEVER segregate people on this basis...

This posting thread was a good idea, i thought it could be an anecdotal reviews of each opinions and experiences ... But some came and proclaim papal inquisition proclamation... This inflame the spirits toward quarrel over a tea pot..

I am surprised that folks have such nice systems and did not post earlier. Feel like 2005 again when I joined and so many folks posted their system. There was a lot to see and learn and also use tips to decorate/rearrange your room.

@vonhelmholtz , you got it going man!

@vonhelmholtz , you got it going man!

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 🤟

Some incredible equipment and I envy the size of your room..but for 16+ years my wife didn’t want me to setup an audio room as per my previous house. We recently move to another state and she didn’t move until after the house had been completed plus eight months..just enough time to cobble together my system from nothing. She resists entering, but did sit down for a few minutes to listen to some streamed music. She said that it sounded good, but I should get rid of the turntable if I don’t need it and I should get rid of all the wires. I didn’t quite know what to say. I don’t really need most of the things that I have, but the wires are kind of important.

Gotta love it when some wanna be weak tea authoritarian thinks this is his sandbox and tries to run roughshod (look it up) over others. This is the very same attitude he displayed on his first posts of this thread, like he was laying down the law. He deleted those. Never liked a wanna be bully, especially one who hides behind a keyboard.

Despite being put in his place (this is a very old argument) a few times already, he does what most do when confronted. He goes quiet, gets his nerve back up, and starts pounding his chest like some ape in the bushes.

Kind of reminds me of what those from ASR tried to do here. Dude, go right ahead with your silly stipulations but rest assured, not many, if any, are going to follow you on your silly crusade. If you get off on this, please seek help. Move on. You're going to embarrass yourself.

Looks like this thread has degenerated into a few people flinging invective at each other, as many threads tend to do.  Pity because there are some interesting takes on interesting issues buried within. 
  I posted my main system, but I think that such a requirement is unnecessary.  Ultimately we aren’t able to covey what our systems, no matter how costly they may get, actually sound like in a given room.  Even if we were able to post audio files here, the sound would be changed by the limitations of the site and the play back equipment of the user

.  Why stress out the members who are having technical issues?  I literally spend hours a day having to deal with IT issues.  These “Labor Saving Digital Technologies “ have created more work in my world because of all the security issues, than effort that have spared before they were so prevalent.  People come here to relax, not be further tortured by IT issues 

@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,

 

Very good pics ...

Thanks...

But i will keep my icon it is more discreet...

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words😁

Previously, some posted that they did not post their system because they feared that this might result in security issues.

As of this morning I was required to enter my phone number and address to continue posting.  This must be part of an ongoing effort to limit trolls from posting.  I don’t know how securely this information is stored, but it does open the possibility that your address could be revealed through someone hacking this site.  That said, I suspect that anyone that has valuables realizes that cameras, fencing, security doors, big dogs and things that go bang go a long way towards protecting you and your family.  Of course, insurance helps after the fact, but home invasion when residence are home have a high chance of someone getting hurt..and it isn’t the bad guy.

I haven't received any notice from A'gon to post my phone number or address to continue posting. All I have listed is my country. One would think it'd be a site wide issue and everyone would have been asked to post that info. I hope you weren't scammed.

All the best,
Nonoise

Appears as of today you can’t post unless you go to your account and verify your phone #. 

I received the exact demand for bot protection...

The problem is no sites are secure... It is  easy for hackers to access a site...

Imagine the problem when hacker will use A. I.

Nope. I signed out of my account (which I never do) and signed back in and then posted this and wasn't asked for any verification. I guess they like me more than some others.

Post removed 

It seems that now I'm being asked to verify my account and it's not accepting my password, but when I left that field, refreshed, and clicked on this site, it brought me here without asking for sign in.

As a matter of course, I tried to edit my last post and there seems to be a glitch in the system that takes you back to the security warning. Everything else functions as intended. I'll let Admin know that it's not working as intended, yet.

All the best,
Nonoise

I had the same "correcting" glitch...

Tammy said it will be solved by tomorrow..

Audiogon give great response to help demands..

 

@nonoise 

yesterday I lost 3 comments because the system prompted me to update my phone number. It was painful

@grislybutter Sorry to hear that as it must have been frustrating. The new security system was most likely going thru some birthing pains.

This is a test of the emergency broadcasting system....

Please make sure your post is correct before posting as it still doesn't allow editing afterwards. Tammy is working on it.

I got the prompt, verify phone and update password. Seems to work fine. 

The last thing some idiot is gonna do on a home break in is grab a heavy piece of hi-fi gear.

Plus I now live in Texas. I'll say no more. :)

@nonoise so I just think this forum engine is ready to be driven off the cliff. It's so bad, it's not worth patching up.

How to post a virtual system....I dont see that option on my profile page. Also I was unable to start a new discussion today....anything going on?

There is problem with the site....All will be taken care tomorrow i thing... Be patient...

 

I've been getting redirects to a Mc Affee scam site saying my subscription has run out.

It's only on this site.

There was a system wide security verification that you have to do in order to post. All I did was to go to my home page, get the drop down menu and hit "edit". Make sure your phone number and address are correct (or entered) and hit "update" towards the bottom. It should work fine after that.

All the best,

Archaic, antiquated, medieval and nothing intuitive about it. Liek some residents here. So Y2K, bet it is housed in an old AS400.
