Why no Virtual System pics??


I’m surprised that not more people have pictures off their set-ups... there are very few contributors, some regular contributors, some long time members, with zero pictures of their systems..
Why do you think that is?  Are they worried that someone is going to steal their stereo because they see pictures of it?  Or are people ashamed of their systems?  
I don’t get it.  It’s much easier to understand where someone is coming from when you see their setup!

post some pictures people!!!  Sheesh


It’s like showing up to the basket ball court with no ball.  Going to the ski slopes, sittin in the lodge, talking about how awesome the powder is with no ski’s.

Thank you for sharing your system photos, makes my humble beginnings (which my wife sometimes disapproves of the investment, but is often telling me to play something) seem less over the top.

It’s here in this forum where I’ve really learned more about room treatment, and how much of an improvement can be expected by carefully tuning a room.

@jaytor
I like that you show the inner components "guts" so to speak, I’m the first to admit I like that. And I’ve committed to show my build photos as well.
I couldn’t help myself, I’ve already been swapping out internals in my Datasat RA-2400 (first was to swap out for a dead silent fan - heat sink fan)

@uberwaltz
Love the DIY rack, especially that it can be adjusted to fit changes if you wish to make them, swapping in components within your system. Need even more height? Purchasing longer all-thread rod at your will, great idea!

@b_limo
oh yeah, I have NO room treatment... Just looked through all of yours,
you sure make the effort to experiment and adjust.
My wife and I just purchased a townhouse and she suggested our bedroom would make a good dual purpose room. The lounge room has terrible acoustic properties, high angular ceiling, open plan and it’s got echoes like a cave!
So I purchased the Acoustic Fields plans and am building four QRD17 quadratic diffusors. Talk about a heck of a lot of work. I’m milling cherry down and gluing it up to make the materials. I have photos I might post as well eventually.

I had the baby stand mounts and a makeshift system in our tiny 1 bedroom apartment until I had enough credit history to finally get into a mortgage. I can’t wait to have the new listening room set up with proper acoustic treatment. 24 x 15 x 8 ’ room.
