Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

I begged and pleaded for six months before I got permission to buy my $2200 Paradigm Studio 100 speakers last month.

Then I made a rookie mistake, she found the receipt for $400 worth of cables.

I haven't had any sex since. sigh. Worth it, though.

chalkme, that's priceless, LOL.

I'm thinking of upgrading my amp and pre. We recently had our second child and let's just say sex has not been a concern for some time. Now I'm thinking I may be able to withhold it in order to convince her about the upgrade...

Mghcanuck,

You must be THE MAN!!!

I weigh 275lbs, she said that if I could get down to 220 and save my money, then I can get a new amp. Needless to say I'm starving myself right now.

I purchased a Yamaha ceiling mount projector, Stewart Firehawk Screen and built a custom, dual purpose acoustic enclosure for said screen. Tore up the ceiling to run power, component and dvi cabling. She did not ask why or how much after I said it would be nice to have family movie nite, once a week....Tom

Fellow Audiogoners, I am shocked and dismayed to read of your various attempts to stretch the truth. For what? A mere addictive passion for art? I admit that I too was once propelled to such measures. How did I overcome the temptation? The answer is simple and within easy reach. Overinsure! That's right. Take out enough life insurance to assure your spouse and children a life of ease in the event of your unfortunate demise. That simple action does wonders to bring out the sensitivity and honesty in all of us ;-) Enjoy the music! To apply, dial 1-800-Too-Much.
