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.......

All deliveries sent to my office, all audio dealer calls to my cell phone.
Honey, I swear it's the same amp we've always had.

Whew - I thought I was the only guy on the sly out here. Currently involved in a transaction in which I requested the seller to change the subject heading of our emails from the name of the preamp to "Free Tax Info" - I knew she wouldn't open that one! And of course to be delivered to another address and snuck onto the rack at some opportune time. Thanks, I feel better...

I sure get a lot of check no. 101s in payment for preamps :-) Had a customer who had to buy his wife a Harley as he bought a preamp....

I only use cashiers checks to hide the paper trail. I may have to blow up this computer because of this thread.
