Likewise a Grado setup as I can readily see their baseline signature. Knowing what they listen to and the family signature of that equipment is good for a general knowlegebase. Without that I have to make a lot more presumptions and makes life more difficult in a subjective assessment.

I feel this too. It's actually sort of important for me to know what the person posting listens on... sound signature preference is VERY important when I'm making a decision. A Grado in the sig immediately perks my ears and says "check this out, similar tastes."

Honestly, I don't want to read an oppinion of a sound type and then have to click out of the thread into their profile to find out where they're coming from.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a little bragging. I'm proud of my system and I'd like to show it to people who can appreciate it. In turn, I'd like to see outstanding system other people put together that they're proud of. I love this stuff!!

And as usual, I'm always learning...

Yes it does save time on checking out peoples profile. But it is dependant if they keep it updated.

I don't consider it bragging till someone starts including interconnects, power cables & individual tweaks. Just IMO, no offense to anyone here

Anyone who thinks a headphone rig is bragging has no idea what real money is.

This includes Wayne and Alex's gear.

More information is better. I like equipment in sigs.

Best,

Sums it up for me too

Most who read posts & comparisons about different cans/amps couldn't care less about what cables & tweaks are used, therefore it's taking up space.

BTW, 6mb cable here

Yah that piece of crap T1...

that or it's hard to see what that actual content of the post is

 

[Ayreonaut]

My interconnects are represented by some of those little dashes. Very Unobtrusive.

 

[cheechoz]

Bragging, NO!! It's more like jealousy, if you ask me!

After being on this forum day in and day out, learning, and experimenting with all the different equipment that is suggested to me, I'm proud to show what I own, so that other members might come to me for advice on how they can use a particular piece that's in my sig, since I have first hand experience with it!

Fair enough. Although, don't underestimate the sonic impact cables and tweaks can have - you may be selling your system short and not maximizing its potential.

Also, once one's main components are stable, there's nothing else to change except to experiment with tubes, cables, isolation devices, etc.

I like it when people are specifying their equipment in the signature.
It gives me a perspective about where the poster is coming from.
