Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?


I would be very interested in finding out how one manages to justify (or sneak in the home) expensive audio equipment without having to sell your soul to the Devil? It's quite a challenge for many of us I think. I heard of someone buying a Bel Canto DAC and telling his girlfriend that " Oh it's just a $ 100.00 power conditionner", or whatever. Seem like we need to get creative here if we can pursue this crazy hobby much longer! Regards All...

Cboyles,
Don't date or marry someone who isn't interested in stereo equipment and music, no matter how good she is in bed.

Really? WOW!

Divorce worked for me. A symptom of other issues I am sure, however listening to music at all in the living area would induce territorial marking by my wife and step daughter until they would run you one way or another. Sureal experincing two people morhp into the same self-centered characters as those on the crap reality TV they watched constantly. ( literally multiple repeat episodes of OC houswives etc.) I know I am being a bit of a downer to some. But hey its 4th of July, and I am free at last!!
Do they have TV limit clauses in prenuptial agreements?
Why won't this thread go away? What about all the women and gay audiophiles, what about their spouses, boyfriends,etc...
The hobby needs to get out of this boys club mentality.
