Man, can I relate to this post. My wife tells me that since I started on Audiogon, I am lieing to her for the first time in our marriage ( she thinks that anyway ) I have bought an entirely new (used) system from Audiogon members and have saved a bundle. I just wish the wife could appreciate that.Oh, well. Such is the life of the audiophile... Just last week, my wife asked me if I had bought anything lately from Audiogon. I immediately responded angrily, " No, I haven't!". Then she says, "Then what is this cable thingy for $300.00 I see on our Mastercard bill?" Oops,busted! My previous pet name from her was "Honey". Now it's "Sneaky Little Sh*t".Be brave,fellow Audiogoners.
