Does you wife touch your system?

My wife was an LP Disc Jockey back in the day then became a Promotions Director. While she doesn't use those old school turntable back cueing methods she very good at muting and general LP care.

She also came with a substantial LP collection including a great deal of promotional copy and original British and German versions.

Inclusion makes system upgrades a non issue.

My wife uses my system as she had her own in college way back when. It helps me out. She doesn't freak out when I spend good money on a cable. Instead she listens and enjoys. Shes also responsible for turning me onto half the music I love. She told me last weekend I could buy an Ayre AX7e if I hang another towel bar in the bathroom. Clearly a non toucher would never throw something like that out there.

Well, yes and no. Up until I caught her using a pair of pliers on the plastic covered binding posts on my newly rebuilt Son Of Ampzilla, she felt quite competent. Since then, she just dusts.

Just the volume control......... counter clockwise only

Only the bedroom and family system on rare occasion. The primary system in the basement never never. Have tried to show her how to work all the systems as that would lead to her enjoyment and safer for the gear. Surprisingly my college age kids not only don't touch it, but seem to have no interest in using them at all. Content to use their ipods, phones and computers. I hope they grow into hi end audio or they can bury me surrounded my gear :]
