I frequent Audiokarma and I notice on that forum everyone lists their equipment on all posts; at least most people. Is that a good idea? Do people like to read what others own on a consistent basis?

Yes, it's a good idea, but why post in the Dungeon?

Yes it's good. It helps me narrow down which house I should target.

Yes; except here we would probably just get photo's of old guys taking pictures of each other. Wouldn't help your crime carreer much.

I dont need to see a sig-line at the end of every post with a guy's fine collection of equipments. Maybe people like to show off all their stuff with each post.

It's fun to look and see what some one has if the forum has a profile that these sort of things can be listed.

Yeah I mean it is interesting to know what a guy is listening to. Sometimes the redundancy can get tiresome though. I like shootouts for fun as long as ego's don't manifest too intensley. When it's for fun then it is enjoyable. You know everyone who has participated in this thing of ours has threaded endless equipment through their systems. Someone talking about a particular thing that worked well is a big help; but a lot of times I just see a lot of hot-air about who owned what.

Yep thats a good point, I like that. A list of things that have made an improvements. Improvments and tweeks at little cost is nice too.
Shoot outs are not interesting for me. I'm interested in more than the biggest, badest, loudest, smallest, fastest or strongest aspect in life.

Oh I see believe me; maybe the shoot-out thing is misrepresented. I like the thought of finding a set-up then plugging in a different amp or pre-amp blah blah and seeing who likes or don't like. Not neccessarily to determine the best or whatever. Since we both know there is no best.
Maybe shoot-out is a bad term. How about "Test run" or something?
This brings up a thought. I have absolute confidence in my ability to hear things and know what sounds good. No one is ever going to convince me one way or another about sound based on some design paradigm; I know when something sounds good and when it don't; don't you?
Thats why I can't understand all the confusion about advertising. After ten or thirty years listening to music through stereo's you would have to be daft to even entertain the thought of someone telling you what sounds good or don't. How can a person be manipulated?

Yeah, yeah. You know what you hear and when it's good it's good.

Advertising is a strong thing. I don't even think persuasive is as moxy a term as deserved. Advertising and marketing in big and huge. It works. Companies sell ice to eskimos, heat in the desert and bad stereo equipment to people who believe in the jargon. Why? This would be a good shootout between a marketing professor and psychiatrist.
