She's on to me


I got home from work today and my wife said "do we have new speakers or something?" "What do you mean?", I say. "Well, the stereo has been on all day and you don't usually leave it on, unless there's a reason." "No we don't have new speakers! Do they look new? I just forgot to turn it off before I left for work". However, I said nothing about the pre-amp I just bought or the cables that I was burning in. ; )

She's getting smart.

When my wife graduates with her Masters degree next year, life will be good for us both.

A very decent car for her, and a pair of VAC Standard 160 Music Blocs for me !! YEAH !!!!

(maybe a couple pair of Virtual Dynamics Revelation interconnects, she's used to deliveries by Carl, our UPS driver)
Ecruz, you said in your initial post that you didn't tell your wife about the new preamp nor the new cables you just purchased, and then you followed the statement with a wink...leading me to believe you were letting us in on your secret purchase while keeping your wife in the dark. There was also no mention in your post of your wife realizing at any point that the preamp was new.

I see the humor, but I don't think it's funny, and judging by the reactions of some others here I'm not alone.

It sounds like perhaps your marriage is relatively young. Here's to many happy years.
Props to the spouse for noticing the sound had changed/improved? I to get much delight in switching things about from time to time as well, just to get the same reaction...My last adventure was introducing some Stealth "Indras" into the mix. A obvious improvement in sound that stood out like a sore thumb! when asked what had changed? I simply stated "wires" with a wicked grin, her comment was good choice.
Tvad-
Been married 16 yrs with two kids. Like I said, some of you have taken this WAY too seriously. Aren't we suppose to be having fun?
Sorry. This is one time among many I should have kept my hands off the keyboard...
