My wife doesn't know anything about my hobby and could care less; she's too wrapped up in her Boyd's Bears and all of her other useless junk. I recommend this approach; when your wife or girlfriend complains about how much you spend on stereo equipment, ask her if she would rather you go out and spend the money gambling, drinking or chasing other women. That usually shuts them up.
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...
