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.......

Don't really have to. On the one hand, my wife hates my stereo. She simply doesn't get why I love it so much.

On the other hand, and this is a big hand, at least she knows where I spend so much of my time when not working. Also, it's pretty tough for her to be jealous over a stereo. Consider the alternatives. :)

A fellow member who shall remain nameless, will be ordering a pair of Tempo Electric speaker cables in "pink" Teflon housing, tie on a pretty bow, and present them to his lovely wife as a Birthday gift. Really!!
How does a real Man even come up with an idea as this??
They are nice cables, tho:)

If you earn it spend as much as you like on anything you want. If you're not cashing in your 401K what difference does it make as far as I know you can't take it with you.

That being said there's a point of diminishing return so even though you can doesn't mean you should.
