Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?

Not a big deal for me. My girlfriend is prety cool about it. I have a combo of solid state and tube. She admires the warm glow of the tube system. She does get a little pissed when I buy new tweaks but I just tell her that I swap my old gear for new and she just looksat me smacks me in the back of the head and forgets about it.

My wife is the nicest you could ever have, Whatever
I like She likes,including my ex girlfriends.NO
PROBLEM, ON AUDIO,SHE JUST BOUGHT ME MERCEDES.
ARNT YOU GUYS JEALOUS?BEFORE I MARRIED HER I TWEAK
HER HEAD.

How you do dat Jay Cee, with your toy?

I know what you mean. My HUSBAND just gets so sick of me constantly telling him about what I read here, on AVS Forum, and on SoundStage! (my 3 favorite sources of information) I'd have trouble sneaking things past him though, since I need his name on the loan applications. I'm a little in the hole, but at least I don't have credit card debt. :)

Seriously though, even though I am the main audiophile in the family, I've brought him along with me. And it's invaluable. He brings his electrical engineering expertise that helps me understand some of the scientific aspects that I don't have the background for.

He and I have a $300 rule. If it’s over $300, we need to consult the other before spending any money—though sometimes $150 is better. :) BTW, buying a bunch of things for under $300 is NOT a good way around this.

Don’t assume your wives and girlfriends can’t get into audio. We’re out there.

OH YES...we're out here! Im with you,Joyelyse.I LOVE this shit! I have a guy friend in HOuston that I love to hang out with because he has the money for all this hi-end stereo equipment. Im going over to his house Saturday night to listen to his new stuff and Im totally psyched!BTW...Im in the process of selling my bedroom furniture just to buy some new stereo equipment...yes,chicks are in to this shit too..:)And some of us are just as "hooked" as you guys are..)!
