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?

@thecarpathian all I see is help/email preferences/edit profile/logout. Where is this virtual system option?

@duckworp ,

Oops, I think I missed a step.

Go to email preferences. When you're in there, hit your username again and then you should see virtual systems. Hit that and a choice in a yellow bar at top ought to say 'create system'.

  • Go to the very top of this page and to the right of "discussion forum" is a small triangle.
  • Click on it. A drop down will have several options
  • Click on Virtual Systems
  • Photos of systems will be shown and at top of them are options
  • Click on Create System and your name will appear with a"start" prompt
  • Get busy

All the best,
Nonoise

 

I spent a great deal of time on here before posting my system learning and planning what I wanted to buy. I literally had nothing but a Sansui receiver and some old Dynaco speakers. It sounded ok but I wanted to learn. I will say I checked the virtual system of almost anyone who posted advice to see where they leaned on the audio spectrum and to see if they practiced what they preached. It took many years of patience and planning to get where I’m at now.
 

I do think it is our responsibility to further this hobby by sharing all that we can once that valuable experience has been gained. There are many ways to set up systems and enjoy them. I’ve listened to many that sound great which are very different from mine. I also encourage everyone to develop and update their virtual systems so that others can see what decisions we make and that there is a path to what they are looking for. I welcome anyone to PM me and ask what my process is, that is what this site is about. I don’t want this hobby to disappear in the throws of self righteousness because people are arguing that there is only one path to audio nirvana. . . Everyone’s senses interpret the world differently. Sound is one of the few things that enters our brains with no filters or “cannons” that we compare. It is pure emotive joy which is similar to the emotional power of color field paintings. This is what makes this hobby so interesting in my opinion. So take a few minutes and show what you’ve got and let us know what you’d like to do. . .
 

I am very excited about my new dspNexus crossover. I just finished building my system in Audio Weaver, and am about to do surgery on all my cords to cut them to length and re-solder my balanced connectors back on. I can rid myself of the mini DSP terminal block. I’ll be re-measuring my room at 192K and will have twice the fidelity with measurable real time processing. It’s going to be a big weekend! I wish you all the best on your own journeys.
