Whats in your second system?


Just curious as to the people who like myself have many thousands "invested" in their main system with all the latest tweaks, cables etc and also have a second or even third system.

Did you assemble that with the same love and care and dedication and costly tweaks?

Or did you throw something together from bargain bins or indeed your old leftovers and then sat back and thought...Wow this sounds really good!

And if so did that get you thinking on the main system...lol.

My second system cost way less than the speaker cables on my main system but I am constantly shocked at just how nice it sounds for such a no frills setup.

Linn Classic all in one
Tannoy 2 ellipse small floorstanders
20 year old (at least) Jensen 50w 8 inch sub.
Monster Cable 12/2 speaker cable bare wire ends.
Home brewed power cord just cos I had it laying around.

The Linn just sits on top of a chest of drawers with the Tannoys flanking the chest either side and the lil sub sitting behind the chest.

And it sounds darn good tbh!

I know there are people who would die for some of these killer " second systems".
Love them!
As I had decided for now that my main system was "completed" ( yes I know, we will see!), I decided to revamp the 3rd system in my daughter's room ( now at university in Alaska so I will use,lol).

So consists of.

Sony PS3 for CD, Spotify, Pandora, Netflix.
Jvc tt cw ortofon red cartridge.
Epos els3 bookshelf speakers.
NAD D3020V2 amp/dac. This v2 has a built in mm phono input as well as another analog aux input and toslink and spdif digital inputs,no Usb input though.

PS3 by toslink and Jvc tt into mm phono input.

Now about that spare analog input, maybe I can find space somewhere to add the Nakamichi bx100 tape player I have sitting idle......
2nd system advanced to first as it's what I listen to most nowadays.
Rogue Pharaoh 
VPI Prime Super Scout 
Musical Fidelity A3CD (aged)
Oppo 103D
B&W 803D2
Transparent Ultra SC
Audioquest Big Sur ICS

I'm loving it
