Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase

My GF decides whats good equipment by the colour of the lights. Ok shes alot younger than me...ooops. She will hate the new belles amp. She wanted me to keep my MF 3.2 fdor her as the lights were 'right on'.
My late wife was a different story. I had a great salesman who would give me a deep bargain price receipt at normal prices. Ha...sorry honey. But she enjoyed it none the less.

O honey that's just a faceplate change.
I've always had that, it was stored away.
That only cost 75 more than the one I sold.
Once your "in" the audio buy/sell business it really does not cost that much to upgrade.
My friend is letting me borrow it for a while.
This one is really old (see the front handles) and since I had to re-tube it, I got it for cheap.

I usually don't say a thing, just take the price tag off the interconnects and stick it on the Component box.

Very funny stuff, very educational as well. I'm headin over to the classifieds.

I made a deal with my wife when we got married. You don't touch my stereo equipment and I won't wear your clothes. It's worked out well so far. She has no idea how much equipment I have or it's cost. Plus I do all the household finances and she gives me her paycheck. This way I see everything she spends, she always uses a debit card. Then I tell her we don't have much money so take it easy on the spending. When she wanted a new Coach bag I went with her and when she couldn't decide between two cheap bags I held a good looking expensive bag and said, "Why don't you buy this one!" She still tells her GF about that. It's not that hard to deceive them, you just have to set it up right from the begining.
