2nd systems- who’s got one?


How prevalent are 2nd systems? My sense is that a fair number of folks have a 2nd system. I put together a very nice bedroom system- NAD 316 bee V2, Node (n130) and Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 on Monoprice stands. Cabling is DH labs (IC), Supra (speaker) and Audioquest (pc on Node). Frankly, I’d have been thrilled as a teen to have a system that sounds as good as my bedroom system

My second system is at the opposite end of the room from my first system.

It contains the items I used full-time in the day bur are so iconic I cannot get rid of them: Simon Yorke Zarathustra (16 built); Zeta arm (said to have belonged to Ken Kessler (because the mounting screws were torqued too tightly); Ortofon Anna (because it is too massy for the lightweight Aeroarm in my first system; Krell KSA50 (Krell's first product); Audio Research SP10 (because...); Audiostatic ES200s I amongst the first good 'full-range' electrostatics.

Still a great system as when it was my main system from the 80s to 1998.
