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.......

actually, i never done it...not with audio equipment...but, i've done it with 6 out of my 9 watches in my collection..."no sweetheart, this watch was only $900"...she is okay with a purchase below $1k for a watch...now, let me see....my collection is worth aprox $26k...

I have since upgraded to a complete Kraco 8 track system (Bruce has my old Bose setup:-).

Tell me about it! I am doing my entire house over in Birch. And I thought Oak was costly. I have 5 1/2 door jams. Everything has to be built in my basement.

I must be the luckiest guy on Audiogon as my wife and I HAVE SEPARATE CHECKING ACCOUNTS. However, I often lie, just out of principle, when she asks me how much I paid for my latest audio gizmo. BTW, I'm not sexy, rich, or good looking like some others on this site-- but at least I'm old. Cheers. Craig
