Father's Day For An Audiophile

.
Have any of you ever received an audiophile component as a gift for any holiday, or as a birthday present? Before I got married, my girlfriends knew that I was nuts about stereo equipment. After I got married, my wife and now grown kids knew of my love for stereo equipment because they had to live with it. All of my siblings know of my love of stereo equipment. Yet, I've never gotten a piece of audio equipment as a present.

Mid 80's my ex-wife bought me Nakamichi BX300 cassette recorder for my birthday. A few years later she bought me my Spendor S100's for Xmas. Of course I chose them, she just paid for them. Come to think of it, she used my money! But it's the thought that counts, right!?;)

I've never gotten any gear as a present, I think because they know that they do not understand my tastes, and they are fairly confident that I would just sell (or not use) anything they bought me. It doesn't bother me, I don't buy my wife's clothes/shoes either.

For me, the closest thing would be an IPod that my brother and sister-in-law bought me for my birthday. It may not seem like much but the darn thing fascinated me and led to a rebirth/renaissance of my love for audio/video. And so I began upgrading. But I knew early on that as much as my family may love me, the only one that was going to spend the kind of money that I spent for my system was going to be "yours truly."
