I spent a lot of time at a friend’s house and the only music available was from their flat screen’s speaker via cable box. They thought it was fine. Drove me crazy. I brought over an extra Cary amp, Marantz DAC, N802s and Cardas cables. Loaded Roon and Tidal on their PC and I could not be happier.
Recently in another thread, oldhvymec gave me the idea to keep my extra cables broken-in on a second system. Well I have one, it is just at a friend’s house.What made you put together your first 2nd system?
Did you just have lots of spare equipment and figured why not? Did you have a spare room, hobby room, shop, or office that needed better sound? Did you want to set up separate music and home theater systems? Or digital and vinyl rigs?
What was the final thing that pushed you over the edge?
