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...

Girlfriends and/or Wives are NOT allowed entry to the extra space at my office, where I can and do spend many selected late hours listening at whatever volume I wish, drinking whatever I want, with whomever I choose, to the components of MY choice.

The a/v system stays in the house.
Ddomnick, I empathise entirely...cope no more.

Upgrade the gf regularly since having more satisfying, better performing (well, not always), more efficient, better built, fresher, and well ready to review 'gear' around is a means to an, um, end.

Besides, the kids just loooooooooove my A/V system.
