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!

OP--some of it started out with "leftover" stuff that was upgraded, didn't pass WAF, or new stuff that I just wanted to try out.  Stuff is in flux trying different combinations, but, right now:

Not as much "care" in tweaks, tube-rolling, cables, etc. as things move down the line.  Always something to play with, and usually can find a place for something.  Hoarders rule.  One day will likely sell off a bunch of stuff and concentrate on just two or three.
