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...

Warning bells and sirens blared yesterday...thinking about upgrading from ML Ascents to Revel Studios...showed the girlfriend a picture of the Revels and she said "even more ugly than the ones you already have." So, I pressed on - "what would you consider not ugly?" "Something that is in an alcove or in the wall...I don't like the look of a stereo and big speakers in the living room!"

I'll buy the Studios anyway...and then the Ascents move to the HT (which is "cluttered and too confusing to operate")

Or maybe I should buy some of them honkin' huge horn hummers (some alliteration for ya there)...this is about boundaries after all.
