Second audio system in your house?

Wow, I'm a little surprised to hear this type of response. It seems "ultra" luxurious to have more than 1 audiophile system, much less three or more! I thought I might hear a tiny voice of reason. But thanks to you guys I might have to move forward with the idea. I've been secretly planning it in the back of my mind. The great sounding econo system I never built. 
 Uh, that's insane mesch, though it sounds eerily similar to my coffee traveling habits. 

 Oh man french_fries, you hit the nail on the head, I seem to take all my hobbies too far. Hifi in and of itself is a bit over the top for the general masses. For example, somehow I've aquired over a dozen fine tobacco pipes in the past 6 months. I suppose it's a bit of a personality disorder. 
 Well after reading all this it appears the magic number is 3, so I'm still clinically sane (if you don't count my car) and within reason. Hell I'm basically obligated to build another at this point. The problem is, I've always wanted to try out an all tube system, and maybe a killer headphone set-up, so I can see other systems off in the horizon. 
 

So, you're not sure it's a the sensible thing to do, but, "I won't even ask the wife what her opinion is, as I already know it." I take it that means you doubt she would be in favor of it.

Uh, oh. See the thread on Audio - Post Divorce... ;)

Yeah I've learned not to ask. When it has to do with toys I pretty much go with the "buy it anyway and tell her later strategy". I'm not sure how good of a strategy it is for marriage, but it's pretty effective as I get to keep most things that show up. 

Actually the the budget doesn't have to be $1000, just a nice goal. I figured maybe a $700 pair of speakers (new/used) and a nice, used NAD/Parasound/Marantz/Emotiva/any audiophile grade CD player would compliment my old amp (Bryston B60). Actually I love some of stratehed's ideas with the wireless adapter, tubes, BJ cables. 

I think this thread was a bit of a surprise and figured it would convince me to just sell the old amp and move on, but I'm pretty much feeling convinced otherwise, as in, I'm already researching other components. It's a black money hole as tgmitchell mentioned above, but at least I plan on this hole being considerably smaller. 

Hey vicweast, I have a new Rogue too, it's the base hybrid model, Sphinx. I read so many positive reviews I decided to go for it. First piece of gear I didn't audition first. Tubes rolled with RCA NOS. I'm really enjoying it so far, non fatiguing too. I'm debating if my second system should be 100% tubes - but not starting any debates! 

That Oppo headphone amp sure looks interesting t-bon3, but that's getting into a third system!

Yes I agree completely. I wouldn't put together a tube based system to just leave on in the background. I think there's plenty of other options for that. I'm planning on another system now for a room we have dedicated as an office, guest room and a bit of entertainment - as that's where the old flatscreen, Xbox, Wii etc has ended up. So I'd like something smaller scale but still good enough to sit down in the sweet spot and enjoy some good quality tunes. 
 I'm thinking either ultra efficient floor standers, or some small bookshelves to match up with the 60w I have. 

I'm super interested in the headphone area! I can see a set up in the house in the very near future. There's so many options/combinations it's almost overwhelming. I've been curious about the new Oppo stuff, Sennheiser, AKG, Shure, the list goes on, without even mentioning the gazillion options for a headphone amp. I suppose that's another thread. 
 For the second system I'm toying with throwing a tube buffer (I know, people will up their nose at the idea) on my SS amp, or just trade all together for tubes. 

when you do the phones be sure to spring for a tube headphone amp. You needn't spend that much to get amazing sound

Actually I think it's going to happen before the second system! Any recommendations tostadosunidos? (Like your funny name) I was looking at some tube headphone amps just yesterday. One reviewer said don't get tube as one will tire of the warm sound, but I'll take that with a grain of salt.  I did see a super cool mod where someone turned an Emotiva x-100 amp into a headphone amp, cool! Not tubes though. 

Oops, I meant Mini-X A-100 on that model number.
