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...

im very lucky that my wife of 22 years accepts my over indulgence in both of my hobbies & even though i know for a fact that she could care less how it sounds she always acts excited for me & appears to listen as i explain why the new stuff is better than the old.

out of the entire time ive been buying motorcycles & high end gear she only freaked out on me one time & that was when she came home to find me sawing in half her brand new love seat sofa so it would go thru the door easier,i needed to make more room for a new set of speakers i had just bought & destroying the love seat seemed like the right thing to do.

i feel bad for all the guys who have to sneak things in & out of their own homes so thier wives wont bite their heads off,as long as i live i'll never understand the whole WAF deal.
