Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase


This could lead to a hysterical thread. How many audiophiles have come home with an expensive amp/preamp/and told their wife they bought it for practically nothing? Only to have paid 3-4K they had in their private stash? How many audiophiles have secretly installed a new "toy" in their audio system thinking their wife wouldn't notice. My old girlfriend thought anything beyond a boombox was excessive. Whenever I would upgrade my system,I would come up with some far fetched tale(lie) Would love to hear your story.......

I believe in the Bill Clinton rule: I don't ask about shoes, she don't ask about stereos... we have a very happy marriage....

yeah but the sound --
what purchases???

I'm looking for the person who constantly breaks into our home and leaves audio equipment all over the darn place!!!
Wouldn't it be nice on a cold wintery night to have a tube amp warm us, make the place cozy. And isn't it romantic with the tubes glowing in the dark?.
