Stereokarter, my hobby has not yet caused a divorce from my wife: we both work, have separate bank accounts, pay 50/50 on communal things, but she uses her personal funds for high-end fashion (she just came back from Paris with Yoshi Yamamota outfits that put her back as much as a Koetsu cartridge) and I use my funds for, well, my "hobby." She lives in a world where all hifi components still cost about $500 and I let her believe that. However, I do sneak cables into the house when she is at work and I did evade the question "How much does this cost?" when she saw the Simon Yorke turntable in my room for the first time with the words: "It is priceless, like all geniune art." (I know, stupid retort, but it worked). However, I have to say this: all of the girfriends that came before my current wife without exception have all strangely "claimed" (took without returning) one piece of my system upon the break-up of our "relationship." One girlfriend took a Nakamichi cassette player (not a big loss) but another took a pair of Jadis JA80s (I was briefly engaged to this girlfriend, as well as the Jadis's as it turns out). The break-up with this particular woman was so painful and dramatic, and she was so fiercely against me getting my amps back (something to do with "retribution" for the "suffering" I had caused her), that I just gave up trying to retrieve them. Years later, a mutual friend told me that she donated my Jadis's to the Salvation Army!
The "D" word...Has audio ever caused it?
This is dangerous...very, very, dangerous. Like testing your wallsocket for power with an old Monster interconnect. My question, and I do not know if I want to even find out the answer as to what happens to all my gear after the fact...is...HAS THIS AUDIO HOBBY EVER CAUSED A DIVORCE...in your experience...and if not who has the most conniving method of avoiding either (or both) the divorce or having to liquidate one's equipment. Women welcome too. NO EMAILS!
And NO, this is not intended to examine anyone's personal history or OTHER UNDERLYING PROBLEMS...we all have them in various forms.
