Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?


I’m always surprised, and a little saddened, at the number of members who don’t bother to post details and pictures of their own systems in their profile.  This is often where I learn the most, providing straightforward, data-centric information. We have contributors, posting nearly daily, pontificating even, but don’t demonstrate or show-off their own setups.  To me, seeing one’s system is part of their overall audiophile bona fides. What are the reasons so many folks don’t share their own systems with this community?

For me it's a privacy issue. My gear is not in a dedicated room. I list my gear but no photos of the system.

There is a single photo of what you can expect to find should you enter my home. 

If anybody broke into my place, they’d probably feel so bad that they’d leave a $20 on the equipment rack - and start a GoFundMe page for my system.

My gear isn't shown on here for one simple reason. It's too much of a PITA to post it. I tried doing it with my phone, a desktop PC and a couple of different browsers.  I gave up. When I spoke of this on here all I got in return was snide remarks on not knowing how to use the internet.  Whatever.  Think what you want. Don't bother to explain it now either. I don't care anymore.  Seeing how it can be here these days, I'm content to read about 65% of the posts and that's about it.

Time and effort. Plus, systems are often changing. Then there is the question of which system, as many of us have more than one? That lead back to where I started, time and effort. smiley
