Tax time

Well it is that time of year again. I just did my taxes and found out that this year I get some money back. Immediately, I thought of what kind of gear I could buy. It got me to thinking. Is this how most audiophiles think? Me? Well I am either going to up grade my CDP or upgrade my turntable (am old dual).

By the way, for you married folks do you simply go and make the purchase or do you have to sneak it past your partner

I've been selling surplus equipment to pay the taxes coming due in 2 weeks. But when I buy something I just do it; she may or may not notice, doesn't matter.

I just do it. It is easier to just do it and ask for forgiveness than ask for permission and get a NO "what do you need that for, please, not again"!! Besides my wife recognizes my compulsive tendencies as well as my love of music and realizes that I could direct it towards "hobbies" more detrimental to our relationship.

My tax refund arrived about 2 weeks ago...I made a vow to myself it would go toward debt. It's been a challenge to keep that vow. Eventually, I'm sure it will go toward a new tube preamp. The ss model I have is fine, but I'm determined to wring all I can outta my setup.

As to geting clearance from significant other prior to purchases, well, I am cursed (or blessed depending on your perspective)to be unattached (or unencumbered, again perspective dependent) at the moment. Life goes on...
