Some of us are blessed with wives that are comfortable in their skin. Why is she going to fight me? She's doing okay in the toy department. In the long run she will spend much more on purses, clothes, accessories, hair care, perfume. shoes, fancy coffee, makeup, and fast foreign sports cars than I do on my modest high system which btw has not seen a new item since 2005 (Bryston 4B-ST). Now software (CDs and LPs) is another story... but again I think my totals will come in beneath hers. And I use cash only! Regardless, every family member has needs and wants. Some of them should be met....
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...
