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...

Once I got married, the center positioned listening chair went first, then slowly, the 2-channel system phased out for a multi. Since the kid, the main room stereo is a toy. Almost literaly. Teak, Sony, KLH. Speaker's are 9 feet off the ground. Center Speaker (AR) usually obscured by toys. Literaly. Fisher Price, Mattel, HotWheels.
I do have my hi-fi in the "music room", but it's a rare retreat. Also obscured by my toys, Guitars, Drums, Abandoned Audio Projects. .
