Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

This could lead to a hysterical thread. How many audiophiles have come home with an expensive amp/preamp/and told their wife they bought it for practically nothing? Only to have paid 3-4K they had in their private stash? How many audiophiles have secretly installed a new "toy" in their audio system thinking their wife wouldn't notice. My old girlfriend thought anything beyond a boombox was excessive. Whenever I would upgrade my system,I would come up with some far fetched tale(lie) Would love to hear your story.......

I told her that I found these B&W Nautilus 801 just sitting by the sidewalk and so I hauled them in. Gave her some story about the UPS truck must've dropped them while in transit.

My wife thinks I write audio equipment reviews under the pseudonym "Jonathan Scull". The equipment just turns up on loan and it is my sad duty to listen to it at high volumes for hours then write about it and then a bunch of new stuff arrives. Trouble is I am still just working "on trial" and so they are not paying me yet, but honey, this way I am not wasting money on having to shell out for stereo equipment.

If anyone was beginning to believe that, drop me a line. It might just be worth a try.

I am not sure that I believed it, but I am going to steal it and use it as my own. Maybe I should use my pen name "Jonathan Valin"....
