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...

That's easy. Let the wives buy what they want, and they are less likely to bother you when you buy what you want.

Girlfriends have no say. If they do, find another.

Wow, Detlof immortalizes my post. Thanks!
It shocks me to read the "ten years" comment and realize it is fact.

God, I feel old.

My wife enjoys music as much as I do. When I told her Iwanted to check out Acuphase she asked "but we're going to keep the Rogue too right?" Life is good.

My wife used to ask me "When are you going to be finished buying and selling .. and when are you going to get rid of all those darn boxes?"

As I upgraded, the complaints were replaced by spontaneous dancing and comments like "good" when she came up to visit me in my listening room.

Finally, my wife started complaining that the speakers at her exercise dance class were so bad she didn't want to go to dance class anymore.

My recommendation ... keep upgrading.
