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.......

A good friend of mine just bought one of my subwoofers. I often loan him my extra hi fi stuff. He told his wife the sub was on loan from me. In reality he gave me $25 a week (his lunch money) until it was paid for. My wife loves hi-end stuff. Therefore I don't need to deceive her. She is as much of a sucker for it as I am. Life is too short for bad sound.
I know *someone* on AudiogoN has deceived their wife! I sold an MSB Gold Link III to a guy who had me ship it to his place of work, rather than his place of residence. He said his plan was to sneak it home when he knew she wouldn't be there, and just hide it in with his other equipment in hopes that she would never notice. You know, I never *did* hear how that one turned out...
I just tell my wife, I am selling X component to buy Y component. I tend to tell her that they are about the same price... heh heh...
