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

I have 4.

Main system, office, living room and bathroom.

Main is analog only. Office is digital only. Living room Tube CD player with 3 pair of hand me down speakers. And bathroom is a very cool Meridian F80 Ferrari designed Radio/CD. Office is a very high end tube DAC only 44.1 and nice Theta Compli transport. And Schitt Dac for computer source. But the main system is medium ultra high end with beautiful Woodsong Garrard 301, AGD amps, Atma-Sphere pre and Tetra 606s.

Had a mid-fi secondary, Rogue Sphynx, Totem Skys, vintage Onkyo Integra cp-1057 t/t. Sold amp and speakers and went all vintage as it wasn’t for critical listening. Turns out, sounds pretty good.

I have a bedroom system but no music player, it's for TV only. Can't stand built-in TV speakers and can't be bohthered with "sound bars". I have an extra NODE lying around but I don't really care to listen in my bedroom, and if I did I would probably use my FiiO DAP.
