She's on to me

I got home from work today and my wife said "do we have new speakers or something?" "What do you mean?", I say. "Well, the stereo has been on all day and you don't usually leave it on, unless there's a reason." "No we don't have new speakers! Do they look new? I just forgot to turn it off before I left for work". However, I said nothing about the pre-amp I just bought or the cables that I was burning in. ; )

She's getting smart.

What happened to the TAD 150?
Love your humor Ecruz, isn't this the situation for most of us.... :-)
Hope all is well,

My wife knows about everything I buy, I think it is only fair as I don't want her buying Blahniks or whatever the hell those outrageously priced shoes are behind my back and not telling me...food for thought there...besides, usually you can make her happy too if she has any interest at all in music. I went the Squeezebox route and set them up around the house on our wireless network, loaded her music on the server, and programmed a harmony universal remote to control all the gear around the house, she is quite excited as she can have her music in any room and doesn't have to go through the ritual of turning everything on.

I agree Gregadd's approach. I get a new Krell, she gets a new Ethan Allen...

My wife and I encourage each other in our hobbies. We have seperate checking accounts and we trust each other not to buy things that create debt.

The real kick of it all is that it is my wife who notices before I do when something is 'off' or not totally 'on'.

She hears better than I and, yes she does enjoy music. This, even though she would never have bothered with all of the equipment.
