Lie you told your wife to buy equipment?

I think it is wrong to lie about buying equipment to your spouse. If we lie to our spouses how can we feel good about our hobby or even this forum. Would you want to buy from another audiogoner who is lying to his wife? I tell my wife everything I buy and what each upgrade cost as well as any added benefits of each upgrade*.

* The following items are excluded: any power cords, cables, interconnects, upgrades and any other purchases that are not noticeable or discernible in a dimly lit room. Besides if you did tell them they would not be interested anyway.

I told her the vaccuum pump is for the turntable.

...and the tube was for the amplifier.

"Honey, this gadget will make all the electrons in the house flow straighter and thus improve our love life."

"Honey, this gadget will make all the electrons in the house flow straighter and thus improve our love life."

My wife does not want to hear that! She'd rather hear me say that this new amp will replace my desire for intimacy.

Sheesh, don't you young folks have any idea how many women's lives have been ruined by Viagra???
Unfortunately, you will find out...

Cheers,
