Father's Day For An Audiophile

.
Have any of you ever received an audiophile component as a gift for any holiday, or as a birthday present? Before I got married, my girlfriends knew that I was nuts about stereo equipment. After I got married, my wife and now grown kids knew of my love for stereo equipment because they had to live with it. All of my siblings know of my love of stereo equipment. Yet, I've never gotten a piece of audio equipment as a present.

My kids bought a 180 gram reissue LP of Dave Brubeck's 1959 or 1960 record, "Time Out." Does that count?

It a wonderful record and I enjoy it a lot, especially since my kids bought it for me.

The only audio related item I got gifted was music. I've got an LP or two (pre-CD era) and a few CDs from my direct family, but they were all at my recommendation. I've bought my wife several CDs over the years, but has she ever bought me one, nooooo.

Bif and Pmotz, no soup for you.

Nope...music doesn't count.

The gift has got to be something that you have to plug into the wall.

No, because I would rather my kids save their money for more important things like food and rent. I would rather they come over and cut my grass or rake the leaves. That is a GREAT present for me.
