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...

Mrs. N- To paraphrase Michael Keaton, we 'Goners prefer the term "luv broker".

p.s. How's the hubby look in his new Speedo?
Swampwalker,

This is Mrs. Noble100. You must be the guy that started all this by parading around in nothing but a speedo and rollerblades. I seriously suggest you read my husband's (Noble100)last post on the "Where does your user name come from" to learn about all the trouble you caused today. You almost got my husband killed over that disgusting speedo.
The FBI and all the news crews just left our house, finally, and my husband just told me the whole sordid story about you and your speedo. The last I heard, the FBI said Obama was having NASA shoot that nasty thing into space. I agree with my husband, you should lay off the Wild Turkey and start wearing normal pants.
Mrs. Timsorosk,
Hi, this is Mrs. Noble. Funny, you call your husband a "spud" and I call mine the 'stud'. My husband keeps me quite busy, especially at night, but I would love to post as often as I can to give the feminine perspective. You keep your spud in line and I'll try to do the same with my stud. Maybe we could go shopping for expensive shoes just to even things out a bit. Or, better yet, I say we setup our own systems, money no object! Let me know. Bye
How about sneaking things out of the room which has now become my issue? After too many outbursts and threats to pour water on my rig when I am out of town, I have decided to crate things up until the dust settles. Funny thing is that if she believes that she owns the rig jointly with me, why would she contemplate such an irrational act. Button pushing perhaps but nonetheless I have gone proactive. The Tidals are now safe and sound inside the shipping crate. Anyone here have a significant other threaten to destroy gear to make a point, or worse act upon the threat?
