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.

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.

It might appear humorous for now, but eventually if your wife loses trust in you, she'll start losing respect. Once the respect goes, the love will soon follow. Be careful. I know from experience.

Arni-
I bought some Nuforce amps, which I'm really happy with and it's easier if I leave them on all the time, for a couple of reasons. I didn't like leaving the TAD-150 on all of the time so I bought a SS pre that I can also leave on.

You guys took my post WAY to seriously. While my wife did ask if we had new speakers, I was joking about hiding my purchases from her. She does know we got a new pre-amp, she's not blind.

For the record, she got better grades than I did in college and makes more money than I do. She is definitely the smarter half.
