Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?


I would be very interested in finding out how one manages to justify (or sneak in the home) expensive audio equipment without having to sell your soul to the Devil? It's quite a challenge for many of us I think. I heard of someone buying a Bel Canto DAC and telling his girlfriend that " Oh it's just a $ 100.00 power conditionner", or whatever. Seem like we need to get creative here if we can pursue this crazy hobby much longer! Regards All...

20k in the last 18 months, I finally bought her a Tag watch for the last valentine's day...anytime she starts in, I merely ask her the time and she settles right down!!!
Honesty is most important. Secondly, cut a deal. I get a _______ and you can get a _______ . Hopefully your spouse will have a passion about something in life.
Tim, my friend, don't EVEN think about following Bob's advice. What are you crazy? Doesn't Gumbydammit's approach sound much mo betta? so young, so much to learn.... :)

My wife has allowed me to upgrade my equipment but without having a knock um drag out fight. She does not understand the magic of music and how it is important in my life. With that said We are going to have some remodeling on the home and at this time she can spend the money the way she wants to. A tit for a tat and happiness can be found. Compromise can work wonders
