Does you wife touch your system?

Donjr and Markpao, thanks for your concern. I do have a turntable, but it has a dustcover, she will dust the top of the cover, but she will never remove the cover, so my stylus is safe. I have no exposed tubes either. I do not have a problem, she is a experienced and careful duster.

I've done MUCH more damage to my system then she ever has. I wouldn't mind her using the system, but she is afraid to touch it....she knows how much money is involved and how fragile stuff can be. She's just as happy listening to tunes on an Ipod. When pushed she will admit that our system sounds better, but not good enough for her to worry about the hassle of remembering how to "work it".

No, she afraid of it!!

When she wants to listen it, she uses me as a remote controller. There is only a turntable in my system as a source. She usually forgets to change the side of the LP, and when she remembers to do it, she looks like as a NASA technician who makes a complex operation to a space ship. Calculates every single movement, think about it again and again etc...

Absolutely! Everything from turning on my system and operating the essentials.

I believe that deserves an appreciative Monty Python "nod, nod, wink, wink; you know what I mean?" :0)

Yes;it has drawn her into the hobby and makes spending the $$$ much easier.
