  Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
I would be very interested in finding out how one manages to justify (or sneak in the home) expensive audio equipment without having to sell your soul to the Devil? It's quite a challenge for many of us I think. I heard of someone buying a Bel Canto DAC and telling his girlfriend that " Oh it's just a $ 100.00 power conditionner", or whatever. Seem like we need to get creative here if we can pursue this crazy hobby much longer! Regards All...

Not a big deal for me. My girlfriend is prety cool about it. I have a combo of solid state and tube. She admires the warm glow of the tube system. She does get a little pissed when I buy new tweaks but I just tell her that I swap my old gear for new and she just looksat me smacks me in the back of the head and forgets about it.
