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...

In my house wifely input on things purchased is directly proportionate to money earned. Wife's salary=0 therefore input = 0.
All kidding aside. She is not the type to begrudge me anything. I married well. So did she.

My wife an I co-authored an article on Yamaha's new RX-V4600 HD Radio/7.1 receiver in the current The Audiophile Voice. Damm, I'm lucky having a wife with a Masters in Audiology. Eat your hearts out guys.

GFs and wives? My mother was the one who gave me a hard time. When I was 17 I purchased a used Krell KSA-80b with everything that I had saved up from little jobs. She didn't flinch at the cost but she sure was upset about the size of that amp:

"My goodness, where on earth are you going to put that honker of a thing!? Why you'd break the coffee table! What if it leaves marks on your dresser? You can't just leave that on the floor, it looks slopy!"
