Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose?

audio(45..had a stereo at 7) wife(26)...seriously though, girls just don't dig the three stooges and procol harum. never did and never will. an audio budget(read allowance) is suggested for those whose marriage is a real partnership.....i don't think a budget for a girlfriend too will work.

Audio(6).My girlfriend has an unnatural resonance/peak in her voice that results in extreme coloration and non euphonic distortion.I measured her THD at about 60 percent! I can only listen to her for about 5 minutes, music for hours.

I posted these lines from the late Steve Goodman some time ago in the "best lines in a song" thread but it's probably just as appropriate for this thread.

My baby came to me this morning
And said I'm kinda confused
She said, "If me and B.B. King was both drownin',
Which one would you choose?"

I said, "Oh, baby,"
I said, "Oh, baby,"
I said, "Oh, baby,
Baby, I ain't never heard you play no blues!"
.

Audio (15) But my wife enjoys music too, so she would never ask me to make that choice. We have no less than 5 audio systems in our house and a couple were built from my "leftovers". My Christmas present to her this year was new stereo speakers for her car.

I would not even consider tolerating such behavior from a girlfriend and would dump her immediately (but would have sex with her a few more times first -- if she was really hot in bed). And I would play my music while doing so...

Donshoemaker,
Now that you mention it, my wife's constant nagging did give me frequent "listener's fatigue". No wonder I'm enjoying my music now better than before.
