Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase


This could lead to a hysterical thread. How many audiophiles have come home with an expensive amp/preamp/and told their wife they bought it for practically nothing? Only to have paid 3-4K they had in their private stash? How many audiophiles have secretly installed a new "toy" in their audio system thinking their wife wouldn't notice. My old girlfriend thought anything beyond a boombox was excessive. Whenever I would upgrade my system,I would come up with some far fetched tale(lie) Would love to hear your story.......

I haven't lied about an audio purchase only because I am new to the hobby.

I have lied about the following:
Suits and sportcoats (that's not new, I'm bringing it back from the cleaners)
Golf equipment (honey, that putter was less than $25 - honest)
Handguns (dear, I couldn't pass up a 9mm Beretta for $250)
Assorted toys (I didn't buy those, the Palm Pilot and GPS were provided my employer)
And other stuff too numerous to mention.

I am shopping for some new speakers and I am still working on a method to work them into the house without attracting too much attention - do you think she'll believe that a pair of Meadowlark Shearwaters cost $500?!
