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

The photos aren't the important thing, its about the equipment, this isn't a beauty contest. This all about context, actual experience counts, this why members should maintain past as well as present equipment on virtual system list.

​​​​​​You’re right that it isn’t a beauty contest. Yet, every picture tells a story.

There appears to be a limit to how many photos can be loaded at any one time.

I find completing the virtual system to be a useful exercise. It helps set the context by understanding how the system has developed over time, so one can assess the current set up and consider any future changes. Sometimes, familiarity breeds content. Alternatively, it’s possible to slip into complacency. Setting everything out logically, allows one to make a realistic appraisal of the system’s capabilities and enjoy music on it to the max.

Plus no idea is worthwhile unless it can be communicated. I've made occasional bad choices in the past. Hopefully, looking dispassionately at where my system is now will stop me repeating my mistakes.

As you can see in my signature, I have no issue with regards to posting a photo of my system.

Looking back at what I wrote here in August, I think I should have been more cautious about broadcasting hifi system details online.

Yes, it is a useful exercise to document a system and develop one’s philosophy of hifi. Furthermore, I have always been in favour of sharing of information with others.

However, it may be naïve to make all the system details public. One can never be sure of the motives of whoever might be checking them out. Being too open about expensive equipment owned could be an advertisement to burglars or anyone else with bad intent.
