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.......

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.

For me, honesty is the best policy. Besides, it's none of her f*#2@!?< business. Our bills are always paid on time, we have money in the bank, and money in an investment account. Where's the problem? On top of that, I don't go to bars, I don't screw around, and she always knows where I am. Listening to music is about as pure as it gets and I think she probably feels about the same way.

Yes...the policy is to ALWAYS deceive them...since they find out in the end anyway!

It's that period between the installation (at night of course, through the side door) and the 'discovery' that is FREE...by which time I have another deal on the go.

Soooooo...the trick is to keep them in a LAG mode, 'cause if they ever reach LEAD mode the next mode is the 'DIVORCE' mode.

Keep up the good work!
