Oooops Just got caught...


What do you tell your spouse when she walks into the darkened room and catches you smiling and gazing intently at the warm glow of your tube amp? Yeah, the music was on but she's not easily fooled. Well?

I thought that perhaps you got caught in an audio price fib...

"What is this receipt for?"(her)
"What receipt?" (you)
"This one" She hands you the McIntosh amp receipt.
You start to sweat and think fast.
"You told me that it cost $75 and this receipt says $1950"
She starts to do that stare that only women can do.
Man, why did I not hide that better!!
"Oh, that! That was just done so that when I sell the preamp, I can state that I have a receipt for $1950 and thus be able to get a greater price for it!" Jeez, am I good, you think.
"How did you pay for it" (her)
Oh, think fast, think fast. What method is the best method to hide it from her? Damn, why did I put it on my credit card! Now she's gonna look it up and I'm toast.
She's waiting, waiting...
