Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?


I would be very interested in finding out how one manages to justify (or sneak in the home) expensive audio equipment without having to sell your soul to the Devil? It's quite a challenge for many of us I think. I heard of someone buying a Bel Canto DAC and telling his girlfriend that " Oh it's just a $ 100.00 power conditionner", or whatever. Seem like we need to get creative here if we can pursue this crazy hobby much longer! Regards All...

don't have either

used to have a wife - had to get petty upgrades slowly
but kept my cd habit - my money, my discs

had a girlfriend last year, she was an opera singer
noted how great my system was but not interested at all in any of my musical tastes

dumped opera singer

my hobby is so bad that the carpet needs replacing badly
but I just spent the bonus on a Nottingham spacedeck rig, phono stage, wall mount, etc.

how do you get them into this

two lessons

1) never let a gal dictate your passions and where you spend your money

2) play Van Morrison's Moondance while making love to her (wine, candles, etc), she'll gladly enjoy your hobby from that point out
