Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?

I would be very interested in finding out how one manages to justify (or sneak in the home) expensive audio equipment without having to sell your soul to the Devil? It's quite a challenge for many of us I think. I heard of someone buying a Bel Canto DAC and telling his girlfriend that " Oh it's just a $ 100.00 power conditionner", or whatever. Seem like we need to get creative here if we can pursue this crazy hobby much longer! Regards All...

Nobody even gets near my stereo unless I let them. Don't like the system "I" paid for? Leave the State. It's not worth a nice guy like me being indited on first degree murder charges. There now, that was easy. Happy listening.

The critical factor is the nature of the relationship. Perhaps that is an obvious statement but somehow I don't think so.

Fortunately my wife and I don't view one another as "adversaries" in any way. We want the best for each of us, hence for the marriage. We never feel we have to "level the playing field." 50-50 is an idealized goal at best and impossible to measure.

Unless an expenditure, whether it be audio or something else of a discretionary nature, takes food off the table, it's not a problem.

A major plus is she loves music as much as I do, AND, her ears are better than mine. :)

I have a similar approach to yours:

"Nobody even gets near my stereo unless I let them."
