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.......

Wow what A topic.....but yes I have. When I buy something that I surely know that my superior half will resent, I will ask the retailer for a second (bogus )receipt, so if she questions me I have the lesser of the two receipts to show her.

But how many of you out there have asked her if she minds if you bought {BLANK} and she says she doesnt care, only at a later date when she is mad at you, that she has has the nerve to spout " You had to buy {BLANK} didnt you". Are wifes are made from the same mold?

Krelldog, it is a tale, never, never a lie. C'mon now, you know better than that. When I bought my amp(used right) and cdp, I got the speakers for free! Did you know Home Depot sells blue bi-wire speaker cable. Did you ever go to a garage or estate sale and find something nice. Used cds for $3.95. It was broken, and still under warranty, dealer could not fixed, so I got a newer model, demo of course. Enough of that. Get her some flowers, dinner and a movie, then you are all set. Good luck and be cool.

I don't think I'd live in the same house with my wife,
if I honestly believed she accepted and understood
me paying over $400. for power cords.
Of course I spare her the actual details of this hobby,
it's my responsibility. Plus, I'd like her to stay
another 12 years.
