Thanks, glad she is well! |
Thanks to all for your support of my wife. She has been very busy and is now back to writing ....
Have fun! |
I just re-read April/May; I am laughing hysterically. Your wife has a gift. I look forward to the next installments; they are missed. All best. |
I love it too, been looking for it every few days. Hopefully you are just on vacation and returning soon! |
Very good, insightful and funny.
well done! |
I too miss your wife's writings; is she well?
. |
|
I have been enjoying your wife's column for a long time and miss it now. Will she write again??? TIA. |
|
ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Great stuff! I would make this blog a permanent option on the Audiogon menu! |
My wife has always teased me for my insistence on keeping all the original equipment boxes. No explanation about the importance of doing so for future shipping seems to satisfy. The stacks of empty boxes in the basement just keep growing. |
Frogman,
My wife says she'll gladly take requests, "as long as the subject is outside of her expertise and brings on the funny." |
Chadnliz - hope you read the blog this week! :-) |
Hey, not that there is anything wrong with that lol |
I'll say it again, Grannyring: you are a lucky guy. Your wife is not only a talented writer, she is very witty and funny. If she were single, and I were single, well.... Sorry man, I'm sure you understand. BTW, my wife loves the blog; she wants to know if your wife will consider a request for subject matter.
BTW Chadnliz, I don't get how you could have possibly thought she was a guy. Maybe you should drop it? It's ruining my fantasy ;-) |
hopefully a wife accepts her husband and his hobbies. |
I must have misread anothers post about being seperated I am sorry. My gut still says a man writes this. ;) |
I find myself looking forward to reading the new blog post that arrives on Fridays. It always gives me a chuckle. |
We are not separated Chadnliz. Happily married and very much together I am happy to report.
I cannot write very well to be honest. Believe what you must to deal with the blog! |
So your seperated but "she" still writes a blog in both friendly and current context? Doesnt add up but from the start I said its written like a man trying to act like a woman. Just gotta go with my gut here. |
|
Still enjoying the blog -the soldering iron is priceless |
Your wife have nice writing skills, you better help her to get more involved on audio. |
Grannyring - You're one lucky dude. She's not nearly as uninformed or uninvolved as she claims to be. Great stuff from her. I'm thinking I will forward to my wife but trying to evaluate the potential consequences. She is MAJORLY disinterested in my audio pursuit. |
To me it sounds like you pissed her off royally, but it is probably not about the audio system. What else did you do or say to her? Given that you are separated it was probably a whole lot of other little things and maybe a few big things too. |
My wife (now separated) has threatened to throw water on my rig when I was out of town on a family emergency. I think she was drinking at that time, but for peace of mind I have since boxed everything up for my own mental health. Can anubody here relate to that?? Or am I married to a nut case? |
Still reading. Hilarious and intelligent! |
September 30 entry for the win. |
LOL - I can assure you she is 100% woman!
Gammajo,
Yes, you correctly deduced the arrival of my (half-naked) open baffle speakers. They are open baffle subs that I run with my Soundlab M1 speakers. I love them! |
This blog gives me the feeling of a guy trying to write like a gal, sorry just the vibe I got. No offense, just my thought. |
There are a couple of new posts on the blog. Grannyring, sounds like your wife even kept her sense of humor upon the arrival of the open baffle speakers - hope you like the sound of them too. |
What a great wife, Bill. I think that she understands audiophiles.
Do you think she will offer counseling for other audiophile wives? :)
What a sense of humor! |
Grannyring, I LOVE your wife's blog..."...the bass had gone hasta la bye bye..." indeed...and I'm sending it to all my audiofool buddies, which lists include MY loving wife.
TYVM.

Gammajo, that's a very good angle on this subject. Kudos to you for having a great sence of humor. I laughed out loud when I read your post. |
Wow a new excuse! "Honey, I have to go get this new equipment so that you will have fresh material for your blog". |
My wife tells me she has all kinds of fuel to fan her creative
writings. This week for instance I am playing with some open baffle, highly efficient speakers. I will drive several hours to pick them up in their 150 pound crates. They are pretty ugly by her standards and are sure to be great fuel! That's just this week! Oh, forgot the fact that I sold my amp for another this week and had her listen to the new amp yesterday!
No worries, she has lots of material |
Hi Grannyring.
The blog is excellent. The "It's Not That Heavy" blog post got me thinking about why I'll always try to get a piece of equipment that I can carry myself so I don't have to ask for help.
For "The Other Woman" blog post I thought she was going to say it was Diana Krall and not Alison Krauss.
Very good stuff and I hope she keeps writing but then that means you'd have to be giving her more subject matter. |
|
I was surprised there wasn't a post on there about the necessity of all "The Cables". I shared the link on the Polk Audio forum and the guys there all loved it too. |
You are lucky man. And thank you for sharing. I just read it to my wife and had her in stitches. Please tell your wife to keep it coming. |
Wow! only 4 paras, each few lines each and it tells you so much. Excellent writing skills!! Enjoyed great deal. And Bookmarked the link;-) Tell her to keep it coming. |
Grinning from ear to ear! Audiogon should put a link on the homepage. |
Enjoyed it and now know how come you are such a good guy having met the women behind the man:) |
You have a winner, but you already know that. |
I am impressed and she is a very good sport you are very blessed. |
Two thumbs up...the blog is really keen. I don't think I would ever ask my wife to help lift or carry gear. She would begin to wonder too much of the cost. I try to put new gear in place and set up and hope she does not notice.
I will tune in again to the Audiophile Wife. |
Just wonderful! Your wife has great wit and talent! I've forwarded it to my wife so she won't feel so alone. Thanks for sharing that. |
That was a fun read. It had me laughing out loud a couple times. I'm going to tell my audiophile friends about it. |
Grannyring- that is awesome! Your wife is talented, compassionate and has a great sense of humor. If she were only strong enough to wrangle a pair of VAC 70/70 monos up or down a set of narrow, steep stair by herself, she'd be a keeper ;~) |
