The PF-2 is a very nice warm-sounding ss preamp, and a steal at the used prices I have seen. If you don't need a remote in your second system, you could spend half what a PFR would cost and get a very similar sound that is very easy to live with. If you use your second system sporadically, the PF-2 may be a good hassle-free choice. It is "on" all the time and always instantly ready to provide great music.
I used a PF-2 for several years and recently upgraded to a new c-j tubed preamp (PV-14L) that cost twice as much. I'm not really sure I prefer the sound of the new one and may just switch back to the PF-2.
