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...

“If you are married - just imagine for a second what your life would be like with no women, love, sex, period, and having to live out the rest of your life like that...”

...and what’s the bad news?

Tell her it's home theater.

Watch some movie together.

She will love it.

when we meet new couples of which the husband/boyfriend is also into audio, the hobby not only is one thing that us guys have in common, the girls also have something to complain to each other about.

meeting more non-millionaire audio enthusiasts makes this hobby easier for my wife to accept, and it makes pulling the trigger on a purchase easier for me as well : )

All this talk about money and expensive equipment. That's just one aspect. What about the fact that the speakers and equipment should be able to disappear or at least look like fine furniture blending in with the decor.

I don't know about you all , but I am having trouble finding speakers that sound great, can play loud (to satify me) but can not be seen (to satify her).

Gee, my wife told me before we got married that I could run wires all over the house and she would not care -- Ahhhhhh, true love, and she is an audiologist.
