A guide for Audiophiles and Marriage

I have seen too many members of this forum having a fire sale of good equipment just prior to or just after getting married. This is just not necessary. You need an Audiophile Prenuptial Agreement.

...to see The Audiophile Prenuptial Agreement, please go to my system at mitch4t and look at the last photo in the lower right corner on my system.

This is essential if you are planning on getting married and want to remain an audiophile.

If you are already married, you may want to add it as an addendum to your current marriage contract.

I got the vas' a couple of years after my daughter was born (she's 9 now) and frankly, it's great! No worries. Just "hop on pop" and away we go.

Oh yeah, my wife hated the way my old Polks looked so she "let" me get my new B&W's last year. Aah, the aesthetics of gear can be a benefit.

My Fiance: "wow, that audio gear is sure expensive. I really don't care if we just had a boombox. Then again, guys love electronics-I don't understand it-my dad owns 4 plasma TV's, and purchased them 4 years ago..as long as I can have my Kitchen-Aid, you can do whatever you want with your stereo equipment"

I guess if you want to keep the wife happy, buy her something nice too that she will enjoy!

While this is true, you'll find that after she moves from Fiance to Wife, the Kitchen-Aid ain't gonna cut it!

Once they have that wedding ring, they'll make themselves more comfortable in the saddle. Kitchen-Aid....yeah, my wife might take that....haahaahaahhaa

It's more like diamonds and clothes and watches and cars and vacations and.........

If I gave her Kicthen-Aid as a equalizer for my stereo equipment, I couldn't sleep at night. No really, I couldn't....at least not since the John Wayne Bobbit episode.

Cheers,
John

My wife: "Well - I guess you know how much you make"
Me: "No - obviously I don't"

Dedicated listening room, separate bank accounts, VERY audio-tolerant spouse = happy marriage.
