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
128x128zavato

Main system has phono stage, two streamers, DAC, CD transport, analog tuner, cassette deck, tube linestage pre, SS amp for towers, dual-firing 1,000 watt sub. Entry room has streamer, analog stereo tuner, tube integrated amp, Firefly DAC, monitor speakers, sub. Computer room just powered speakers with sub; TV has Schiit DAC with large powered speakers. So four systems in four rooms, depending on what counts as a system. Some days I might use all four.

I've been doxxed here by an A'gon nutcase and stalked by another. I'd never post personal pics here. I do have some of my system pics on the Friendly Forum for High-End Audio.

Fun question. Main rig is at our weekend place. In the city, have restrained myself to a bedroom system - pair of KEF LS50 wireless, through which I also run a TV. Convenience factor made them a good choice. Bought my 13 year old son a simple TT w/phono pre, and Audioengine HD6 active speakers - also work well for apartment bedroom

4.....Main system in music room. HT in living room. Garage system. System in pantry for kitchen and library which feeds B&W in-ceiling speakers in both those rooms (you would probably be surprised how good it sounds, I am).
