How Cool Is My Wife!

My wife got me a Koetsu Rosewood one Christmas, then a few years later dragged me, kicking and screaming, into the digital age by buying me a CD player for my birthday. She has not objected to my purchase of $1000+ cables. I am now in search of a CD player upgrade, and she has not made a noise about it. Then again, I have a birthday coming up soon. Maybe.... Okay, enough of this stuff. What do you do for your wives? I make my wife dinner most days (I'm a far better cook than she is).

My wife is the coolest. She's a designer, and is into industrial design. She likes the retro style of the MAC 240 tube amp, but now likes the new Krell that we have. I'm getting a new pair of Totem Model 1s, and she'll like those too. She doesn't mind the big Straightwire Maestro cables all over the place. She accepts my audio gear, just like she accepts me, without question. I am the luckiest man alive.

ah yes, she said why not buy the BIG tubes, I replied, you mean the 300B's. Yes! those, she exclaimed! And get two while your at it. I responded, you mean the VAC 140's. Yes! she breathed heavily. What could that be wrapped up in those 8 foot cartons?, I asked. Just a little thank you for being the loving, caring, romantic audiophile that you are. My hands ripped at the industrial packing, seeing the words pipe dreams........a voice repeated, just click your socks together and repeat after me , there's no place like home, there's no..... but I Don't want to go home...

I agree with Rsuminsby, if you have a wife who enjoys your hobbies and interests you are a lucky man indeed. My wife and I enjoy relaxing and listening to music together. The only thing we sometimes disagree on is the type of music, but she is very tolerant of my obsession with audio equipment. We are truely some lucky guys.

Just rummaged through the latest comments and caught Rsuminby's about footrubs and wine on the couch during a listening session. I've always found a bit of this and sessions other than listening quickly follow.
