Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

This could lead to a hysterical thread. How many audiophiles have come home with an expensive amp/preamp/and told their wife they bought it for practically nothing? Only to have paid 3-4K they had in their private stash? How many audiophiles have secretly installed a new "toy" in their audio system thinking their wife wouldn't notice. My old girlfriend thought anything beyond a boombox was excessive. Whenever I would upgrade my system,I would come up with some far fetched tale(lie) Would love to hear your story.......

I put a picture of the next piece of equipment on one of the screen savers a few weeks before I buy it. My wife will see it every day and become "conditioned", then when it shows up in the listening room I take it off the screen saver and she figures it is the same one that we "already had".

Are you kidding, one can not get into this hobby and spend the way we do and not tell a few little lies along the way (in my case, big lies). This hobby is not for the faint of heart..............Bob

I have never. Yet. I am in the process of lying now, telling her I can sell my speakers for what I am buying the new ones for. Of course, I have decided my lie cant be over $1,000. Otherwise it would be immoral!
