Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

yeah well let me see there was the $3900 Mcintosh MA 6900 integrated amp I got for "ONLY" $300 bucks and the Mcintosh 74 tuner I picked up for $50 bucks ($900) and the Klipsch RF 63 they were only $400 bucks ($1800) sold stocks cashed out some of the 401K I'm ten G's in the hole guys but on my fuzzy cooked accounting books jeez this very nice looking stereo system was only $1800 bucks honey can you please start dinner
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!!!

This is a hilarious topic! The answers have me rolling! Lol!

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?.

I always ease my wife into a purchase by offhand saying "wow, thats a good deal"or "what the heck " when looking at things on the internet - a little later I bring up what a good deal it is(even if I've already agreed to buy it) Shes pretty cool about my purchases though (I've pretty much paid for my equipment by buy/selling used audio - right now I "owe" the house $500) Her acceptance came when I bought a Mcintosh c-22 and a C39 out of the paper for $1000 (after begging and borrowing money from the kids savings/ i had to give the kids a "cut"of the profits) and sold them for $2200 and $1100 on ebay...although she still comes with me for most purchases even though she could care less about audio equipment...
