My wife had an epiphany - I'm off the hook

We went to a 'master class' put on at a local college by a professional classical guitarist who was to perform today in concert. After she completed her time with the students she auditioned three new guitars, continually doing an A/B comparison with her own. For my wife it was revelatory! The differences were so easily discernible, every one had personal preferences, and all four guitars were outstanding. Now she understands what I'm doing when I play with my toys. :-) You should be so lucky!

unfortunately, listening to many stereo systems do not let you hear the wood body of a guitar, as they have unbalanced frequently response.

you are sunk Newbee! Each time you want money for your toys she's going to deny you as she would like to have that money instead to audition guitars & other musical instruments! ;-)
She's understood that there IS a difference in sonics as the price goes up! ;-)

Doubt your conclusion is valid. More likely you are now on the Fast Track to a dissolution of marriage. SHE will determine which of your audio systems/components sounds best to HER. And then you are sunk. You better not change her selection for that would be the ultimate insult. She will emulate the lady guitarist and make a "knowing" decision that you can't change without her permission. It's not your equipment, or your decision anymore. Educating Mrs. Newbee has it's downside.
