You Still Need, What??



I had told my wife I was going to buy a turntable and have been buying vinyl for the last 6 months. Well, about a week ago I bought the table, a VPI Super scoutmaster.

I got the tt home and my wife said ,"It will be nice that you can finally play your albums" I looked at here and said I still need a phono stage and cartridge. She couldn't beleive it. Not to mention the record cleaning machine, stylus pressure guage , etc.

When she was asking the price of the cartridge(diamond needle)she felt that would be better spent for a new shiny sparkly for her finger.

Anyone else with a similar experience with the significant other not relizing all that is required for a vinyl system.

Nandric - If you need to have this discussion prior to getting married then you should already know that you're talking to the wrong person.

I have always made sure that my wife is well taken care of so that when I do choose to spent money on toys it's not a selfish purchase. When we were first married I got her a new flute that was much better quality than the one she had and even though she doesn't play it a lot, it's one of her favorite things.

Not only do I like to have nice things, but I much prefer for her to also have nice things.

If you know what's required prior to making a purchase make sure she's fully informed so that she doesn't think that you're constantly changing the plan.

You wouldn't like it if she came home with a new dress and then you found out that she also wanted new shoes and a purse that were also expensive. You'd prefer to know upfront, return the favor.
