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...

Hmm one day I've played Piazzola record in my listening room and my wife started to dance with my baby-son. The tonearm hooked up with Lyra Helikon started to jump back and fourth along with my heart. Fourtunately the stylus/cantilever is OK but listening room now is for listening ONLY and drinking (no analogue playback is allowed when an intercourse occurs inside the listening room on the listening or near the listening couch).
I used to lie about money spent i.e. Michell GyroDec $600 only but the look of this turntable so attracted my wife that she agreed that this TT is worth buying whatever it costs since it's much nicer looking than my previous Rega P3.
