After 18 years of living with my disease my wife had enough and split. I knew it was over when she asked me to "dismantle" my sound room. She even sold the nice little system I gave her on ebay. I could not fault her, after all, 40 or so components (mostly vintage high-end) is a bit much.
Afterwards I dated someone much younger than me for awhile. She even asked me out, I never would have approached her. When she saw my sound room she asked me, "what is all this stuff?". I said it was a "stereo". She was flabergasted and said she never knew stereos like this existed. She said she never knew how good music could sound on a good system.
When I was her age everyone wanted a "stereo." It usually consisted of a receiver, turntable and speakers. There were at least 12 audio stores in the Providence area. Now all teenagers care about are computers (for games), MP3 players and maybe video and all the trimmings. I feel so old. It hurts when your favorite pastime makes you a freak.
