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.......

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.

Wouldn't the gentlemanly thing to do be to knock off a decimal point?

Generally don't ask don't tell in my house regarding my purchases or hers. We keep mostly separate finances. I thought several purchases of mine went completely unnoticed but one day she walked over while I was tinkering and said, "I don't know how much any of these cost (points at every new item) but I'm not dumb" and left the room.
