She's on to me


I got home from work today and my wife said "do we have new speakers or something?" "What do you mean?", I say. "Well, the stereo has been on all day and you don't usually leave it on, unless there's a reason." "No we don't have new speakers! Do they look new? I just forgot to turn it off before I left for work". However, I said nothing about the pre-amp I just bought or the cables that I was burning in. ; )

She's getting smart.

I guess I am lucky that my wife accepts my hobby, and trusts that I will not put us in any financial harm acquiring gear. I always speak with her prior to making a purchase and usually am trading off new gear with some items I have sold so the financial impact is not great, if any at all. I recenty sold some items and picked up a Cary SLP-2002 pre, and last evening she said "Ok, I have to admit that the stereo sounds better with that new thing you bought". I would much rather it this way than worrying if she will notice that something has changed, and worse having to lie about it.
