Second System (work in progress)

The second system...or, in other words, "how can I justify so many audio gears"?

Let's put them in the bedroom first :-)

For the second system I wanted to be able to use almost all my small fullrange speakers (Foster 133, Fostex fe 103, Aucharm Neo 4")...so what's better than Frugal Horn?








Again, for such efficient speakers a fleawatt amp is more than enough, so I think I'll build a class A power buffer for the main system...

The system 2

Here we are for another small step towards the final form!
Today I got my beloved speakers back with a new foam.
Now: 
- sources are OK (Lenco and Mac with Audiophile Linux are here to stay); 
- DAC and Pre Phono can be improved (new output transformer for the first and maybe a new project with tubes for the second);
- (Pre)Amp have to change: speakers need power, so I'm in the middle of using my gainclone (a very good all-rounder with 50w) or building an F4 and use one of my flea watt tube amp as preamp. 

I have to think a lot about it...also because i'm building a second system, so I would need some synergy...
