I had a girlfriend. I bought a new preamp, and some cables for my system, which she didn't seem to approve of. Then when I sold my speakers, she said "you're probably just going to buy more audio equipment now!", with disdain. Of course if I didn't get new speakers, it wouldn't be a stereo. You can't just listen to components! So, the $12,000 ring I was making payments on went back, and now I don't have a girlfriend. But the good news is, with the money I got back, I got a massage chair and a new amplifier!! Whew, that was close.
WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor
Much has been written in these threads about the dreaded WAF, or wife acceptance factor. It usually entails making a compromise, or not getting that perfect speaker, or amp, or ... Well you get the picture.
But tell the truth guys. Haven't there been times when wifey actually helped?
In my case, I casually mentioned to my wife that the picture quality of my front projector would be much improved if I could better cotrol the light in the den. So what did she do?
She put up nice thick curtains. It not only blocks the light and makes the den like a cave, it also improves the diffuse surround sound field with the absorptive material. What a gal!
Would love to hear your stories. :o)
