2nd systems- who’s got one?

Four systems if we count the AV system, all in house. I think the idea came from the TAS days when there were upstairs, main room, and basement systems discussed in reviews.

It is useful for keeping items that may turn out to have unexpected synergies, and to have a variety of rooms to enjoy with music.

Selling off bits of systems now and then allows me to raise funds for the next round of mucking about. Or a nice bottle of something, Cheers.

Working on building 2 systems : 

neutral linear and flea watt. In addition, may get a desktop headphone system.

I currently have 4 systems.

Main 2 channel system (posted on Audiogon).

HT 5.1 channel system - Rotel pre-amp, Rotel 5 channel power amp, Velodyne sub, Oppo Blu-Ray player, Wharfdale towers, center channel, and bookshelf surrounds.

Secondary 2 channel system - Rotel Integrated, Linn Ninka towers, Oppo DVD, Cambridge Audio DAC

Office / Computer system - Marantz DAC / Headphone amp, Klipsch “the Fives” powered speakers, Beyerdynamic Headphones.

I rarely get rid of old gear and repurpose them in other systems elsewhere.
