Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

I know for a fact that Decay is telling the truth. I am his partner in business. I am sure Decay will agree, being that we are both rich, famous, and extremely sexy, can be a terrible burden. But we seem to find a way to handle these heavey burdens. Decay, what speaker have you decided on for your new dedicated sound room? The new top of the line Soundlabs, or the million dollar Dynaudio's. I went for those new Italian one's. Can't recall the name, so many visits to those Italian manufacturers when we spent those two months in Italy. I prefered the Italian sound than those we visited in Germany. I have out pilot on standby for the week. Might as well visit some of the great American offerings. How does Wednesday sound?

As far as us deceiving girlfriends or wives has never been an issue for us. We make it up to them buying them beach homes, yachts, cars, or what ever pleases them.
Please do not envy us. Being filthy rich, famous, and extremley sexy is not an easy life. How I long for those struggling times when fortune and fame was not yet in our grasp. Can't remember too much about those times, Could you please remind me of those hard times Decay? I can't remember who's memory is working better these day's.

Hi Bruce:

I decided to go with the Endangered Species MkIV (nucular powered, but of course:-).

Your memory really is slipping old boy as I have my face lifted every Wednesday. Thursday would be super though.

Chow for now.

Hi guys. If you are as good at deceiving your wives as you are at fooling us, then that would explain the Bose systems.

I never discuss finances, she knows better than to ask too many questions, since she doesn't like the answers. She gave up quite a few years ago. She still may occasionally ask why I need to upgrade, but the cost subject is never brought up. I do however try to perform all system mods while she's not around, as I tire of her "what's THAT gonna do?" questions. Cables, power cords, cartridges, tubes, etc, small, hidden things are the best to upgrade, she doesn't know a thing.
Just like her shopping trips. She has her 'tricks'. She'll leave items in the car until I'm not around, 'til she brings them in. Another favorite of mine is when she buys an expensive clothing item and stashes it for months. Then when you say wow, when did you buy that, she can say oh, I've had this for a long time, this isn't new. Marriage, it's like any other business deal, it's all about deception.
If not, then you have so much money, you don't have to deceive at home, but you're deceiving somewhere to get the money. IMHO.

A better question might be - "Who HASN'T deceived their wives (or husbands)about an audio purchase?"

BTW, they're not really as dumb as you think they are. Remember those new shoes? Or that new dress?
