Most significant WAF Audio Sacrifice you made....

i sold a harley once so my wife could upgrade her bed room set to solid oak, good thing i had a spare in the garage :)

if i had to though i would sell all the gear & bikes without a second thought if my family needed the cash,i hope it never come's to that but ya never know.

I had to move my system downstairs into my office(?) so 'SHE' could get a 60" LCD TV.

DAMN!!!

Damn Howard! I'm green with envy!

My greatest WAF is that I've never owned a tube amp. That's right, it's not something that I've owned and had to get rid of. She's made it very clear that tubes are FUGLY. So I have tubes hidden in my front end, but there's no way of hiding power tubes in the amps that I've looked at. I know there are tube amps out there with hidden tubes, but I'm not just going to buy any tube amp. I'm only interested in certain ones.

I've owned some very good solid state amps, so I'm not complaining. She doesn't much complain about the $$$ or time that I spend on my hobby. One day I'll get the boys out of the house and be able to set up my own dedicated listening room, then WAF won't enter into the equation. The dedicated listening room is the key.

John,
Lots of good amps out there with concealed tubes: Audio Note, Audiomat, VAC, Rogue, Tom Evans, etc. Also, many of the Canary models have them in the back, out of sight. A friend had some nice-looking cages built for his as well.
Enjoy!

Howard,

Yes, I know, but I looking for a fully balanced design to go with my all BAT system. That's what I meant by looking for certain ones. I have a list of requirements on top of my wife's no naked toobs requirement.
