Most significant WAF Audio Sacrifice you made....

I'm interested in the most significant audio sacrifice you made in the name of maintaining domestic harmony / bliss, such as giving up your Pass XA 160 monoblocks. You know, the concious decision one audiophile makes like where we weigh our loved ones on an imaginary scale: sweetie or monoblocks, sweetie or monoblocks, and the former wins out but not without extreme pain (and sometimes regret).

Significant others are also eligible.

I prefer SAF--System Acceptance Factor. If my speakers don't like my wife, she's gone. ;-)

Hmmm, let's see. Not one. Here's the list:

** She strongly considered only looking at houses that had a good candidate for a dedicated listening room (which we got last year).

** She agreed to go ahead with my plan to sell the 36" TV and buy a front projector. (which we both enjoy)

** She suggested I upgrade to bigger maggies (speakers) as a birthday present, which we did. We auditioned and picked them up in person at an audiongoner's home.

** She still thinks I need to upgrade my turntable and phonostage. I think this is really just because she tired of listening me complain about my current front end. So the idea is I need to upgrade to something that will last me for quite a while.

For the most part I'm a responsible husband who doesn't go into debt funding this obsession, so as a result she let me indulge to my heart's content. :)

Plus she collects Dolls and those can be expensive too!

And for those who inquired to me via private email, no I haven't gotten that chair upgrade yet.
