Father's Day For An Audiophile

Like Map, no-one I know would ever presume to identify an audio toy that I might want, and I'm sure that the general assumption is that if I really wanted it, I'd buy it for myself (or already own it). So, no audio toys, but....

My wife bought me the same thing this year as last year; another Polyscience Immersion Circulator for cooking sous vide. Not an audiophile gift, but a reasonably tech kinda toy, nonetheless.

In a twist on Zavato's complaint, I didn't pay for it (she used her own funds) and we're not divorcing (to my knowledge, anyway), but she and her friends will be eating their fair share of the output from the machine, so it's just a teeny, tiny bit self serving. OTOH, I love her dearly and dig the gift in a big way.

Thanks Mitch...It was my 10yr. old girl that made the decision...HaHa!!!

Mid 80's my ex-wife bought me Nakamichi BX300 cassette recorder for my birthday. A few years later she bought me my Spendor S100's for Xmas. Of course I chose them, she just paid for them. Come to think of it, she used my money! But it's the thought that counts, right!?;)

Chazro...There was no malice in my experience...Just pure honor...;D!!!

I've never gotten any gear as a present, I think because they know that they do not understand my tastes, and they are fairly confident that I would just sell (or not use) anything they bought me. It doesn't bother me, I don't buy my wife's clothes/shoes either.
