I send my wife to Europe to visit her family every year, while I stay here and work, she gets a beautiful vacation..... last summer , she came back to find my new 6' tall horns in the living room, along with some new tube gear. I think she complained once..... once. Long story short, she was stunned when we listened to some pipe organ the other night, and she is constantly listening to them , and even spinning vinyl!!! We'll see how she feels when I inform her that I'm taking a vacation this year ... in Cuba. Ahhh... horns, vinyl, tubes, and cigars..... what's not to like??
WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor
Much has been written in these threads about the dreaded WAF, or wife acceptance factor. It usually entails making a compromise, or not getting that perfect speaker, or amp, or ... Well you get the picture.
But tell the truth guys. Haven't there been times when wifey actually helped?
In my case, I casually mentioned to my wife that the picture quality of my front projector would be much improved if I could better cotrol the light in the den. So what did she do?
She put up nice thick curtains. It not only blocks the light and makes the den like a cave, it also improves the diffuse surround sound field with the absorptive material. What a gal!
Would love to hear your stories. :o)
