Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

This could lead to a hysterical thread. How many audiophiles have come home with an expensive amp/preamp/and told their wife they bought it for practically nothing? Only to have paid 3-4K they had in their private stash? How many audiophiles have secretly installed a new "toy" in their audio system thinking their wife wouldn't notice. My old girlfriend thought anything beyond a boombox was excessive. Whenever I would upgrade my system,I would come up with some far fetched tale(lie) Would love to hear your story.......

Tell me about it! I am doing my entire house over in Birch. And I thought Oak was costly. I have 5 1/2 door jams. Everything has to be built in my basement.

I must be the luckiest guy on Audiogon as my wife and I HAVE SEPARATE CHECKING ACCOUNTS. However, I often lie, just out of principle, when she asks me how much I paid for my latest audio gizmo. BTW, I'm not sexy, rich, or good looking like some others on this site-- but at least I'm old. Cheers. Craig

I don't lie cuz I don't have to. She asks, I don't answer the question. I refuse on grounds it may incriminate me, I'm no dummy. That's not lying, it's being uncooperative. If she persists I claim there must be a loose ground wire somewhere in my system cuz there's this awful buzzing in my ears (from her nagging). I go away to tweak my system for several hours, problem solved.
