Playing the wifes music choices

My wife is too intimidated by my various systems to attempt to use them on her own. I think it's much to do about nothing but secretly I appreciate that she doesn't want to fiddle with the systems. In response to her descresioin I am delighted anytime the opporunity presents itself to play music that she wants to hear. Her acquiescence to my hobby is a small price to pay in return for indulging her in her music requests. We share similar musical tastes but I am most intrigued when she suggests something new. So much music and so little time. Anytime my wife and I can explore music together is quality time that almost justifies my fixation on musical reproduction.

ELiz,

You are a pisser LOL.

Keep up the humor.

I wish Liz would just focus on how easy any system is to use, I also wish my mom would so she could use my dads system and I wouldnt get calls when he is out of town.
2 things I will never understand, why women think gear is so complex and why men are glad they do has always baffled me.
What do men think if they taught their wife they would suddenly lose some sort of "power"? There is nothing about any system that is beyond the average woman of grasping and I suspect most women just play stupid so they dont have to get involved with it all...........they are much smarter then many give them credit for, plus some men need an ego stroke so the women act stupid to feed the poor bastards need for comfort over his fragile insecurity.
I wish women knew more about it all so they could enjoy it, help clean and maintain it.......and respect it more.
Instead countless men look like nerds while their wives roll their eyes and dismiss the husbands inner nerd.
It isnt complicated, its a little more than a couple buttons and dials in a certain order.......even with vinyl.

My "other half" is quite confident to use the main Hi-Fi but then she has to do very little. It's permanently on so all so has to worry about are two things - the volume control and the CD player. It took her a while to negotiate the latter, it being a Meridian.
As far as musical tastes are concerned, that's another matter entirely. There is a certain level of cross-pollination but it's one way I confess. I like very little of her choice (it's not quite Kenny G but almost that bad) but she does like a fair deal of mine. Or at least she confesses to and I'm too long in the tooth to attempt to delve into the psychology of that little chestnut!
Suffice it to say I will be in another room when she is listening! That's not an issue - we are both comfortable about spending time apart :)
