the don't ask don't tell certainly is the best way of going about it. my wife doesn't even notice most of the time. it took her 3 months to notice a new power amp! on the other hand my system has probably cost me 50% more than it should have, due to having to buy her gifts of similar value to the bits she has noticed.... what i wouldn't give for a seperate listening room! (small [though fairly big by london standards!] apartment...)
A guide for Audiophiles and Marriage
I have seen too many members of this forum having a fire sale of good equipment just prior to or just after getting married. This is just not necessary. You need an Audiophile Prenuptial Agreement.
...to see The Audiophile Prenuptial Agreement, please go to my system at mitch4t and look at the last photo in the lower right corner on my system.
This is essential if you are planning on getting married and want to remain an audiophile.
If you are already married, you may want to add it as an addendum to your current marriage contract.

I guess if you want to keep the wife happy, buy her something nice too that she will enjoy! While this is true, you'll find that after she moves from Fiance to Wife, the Kitchen-Aid ain't gonna cut it! Once they have that wedding ring, they'll make themselves more comfortable in the saddle. Kitchen-Aid....yeah, my wife might take that....haahaahaahhaa It's more like diamonds and clothes and watches and cars and vacations and......... If I gave her Kicthen-Aid as a equalizer for my stereo equipment, I couldn't sleep at night. No really, I couldn't....at least not since the John Wayne Bobbit episode. Cheers, John |
My Fiance: "wow, that audio gear is sure expensive. I really don't care if we just had a boombox. Then again, guys love electronics-I don't understand it-my dad owns 4 plasma TV's, and purchased them 4 years ago..as long as I can have my Kitchen-Aid, you can do whatever you want with your stereo equipment" I guess if you want to keep the wife happy, buy her something nice too that she will enjoy! |
Audiobugged- Oh no- I still have my boys, and they're swimming. But LOTS of my buddies have faced the ultimate ultimatum from their wives- Vasectomy or decrease in copulation frequency. I told my wife that under no circumstances was I sitting in a chair with a bag of frozen peas on my nuts for 3 days.She finally said "well, I do everything else, I guess I'll have to be responsible for birth control too". I of course, concurred. After all, she's the one with the problem- not me :) |
