I made a deal with my wife when we got married. You don't touch my stereo equipment and I won't wear your clothes. It's worked out well so far. She has no idea how much equipment I have or it's cost. Plus I do all the household finances and she gives me her paycheck. This way I see everything she spends, she always uses a debit card. Then I tell her we don't have much money so take it easy on the spending. When she wanted a new Coach bag I went with her and when she couldn't decide between two cheap bags I held a good looking expensive bag and said, "Why don't you buy this one!" She still tells her GF about that. It's not that hard to deceive them, you just have to set it up right from the begining.
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.......
