Playing the wifes music choices

No you cant do that Bander, it wont give insecure guys a feeling of being "above" wifey.......sad but true.

No way, never ever, under no circumstances.

Bander, Chad - It's not that I won't show her, it's that she has no interest. The only time she's in the room is for about 1 hour Sunday mornings while we have coffee because I make her. I play mellow stuff because she tolerates that easier.
My teenage son does use the big rig from time to time when he wants to play records for his friends. More of a show-and-tell about vinyl than a listening session though. He's got his own mini rig in his room for that.

That wasnt intended for the wives who have no interest many dont but it is for the dbags that act like its this complex rack of electronics that if not operated properely will open some sort of worm hole or cause Atoms to colide and create some Universal death hole.
Its a stereo............A STEREO, get over it guys.

Chad, I've re-read these posts several times and I don't see where anyone has said anything that should prompt you calling anyone "Dbags."It's offensive and it makes you sound overly sanctimonious. What's so hard to accept about the fact that someone's partner just would rather not bother to use the sound system? Please point out where anyone has suggested their wife is incompetent to use their stereo or that they are using their stereo as an means to demonstrate the intellectual inferiority of their partner? Truth be told, I suspect that it's more a question of how people differ in the way they want to spend their leisure time. For example, my wife is happy to listen to music, but given the choice, she'd usually rather read a good book in a quiet part of the house. I know plenty of people who "like" music but don't love it to the point they'll sit and make listening to it the focus of their attention.
