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...

Shadorne,

"If their partner is" NOT "devoting an inordinate amount of time, energy and disposable income to an obsessive audio passion in the basement then, if she has any sense, she might well be wondering", if he hasn't got an affair with another woman....

Good point! Maybe the system shouldn't be in the basement then? Would you suggest a bedroom system?

Fake polystyrene nose, perhaps.

But........no, no, no - it's spelt Albert: Luxury Yach-t, but it's pronounced 'Throatwobbler Mangrove'

kind of a bugger to remember...
