I enjoyed...
Reminded me of my teen-age years when my audiophile father was buying ME a boombox / small system for my birthday and he and my brother Gary spent HOURS in the audio store with the owner while I sat on a stool in the same audio store twiddling my thumbs and sighing... looking longingly at the really cute system I had picked out and the door.

OMG... Gary just walked into my office and said "You wouldn't have been happy with the Akai. You wanted it because it was white."
Cute = white and shiny chrome accents at the time.

We all need a wife with that kind of quiet resignation and tolerance. I personally need a "Guitar Player's Wife" in the worst possible way. I do need a new amp, but the amp I need is called a Tremolux...

Best picture of the day...from the entire Internet.
After reading so many threads, posts, comments suggesting how we audiophiles in this forum so darn pickie in choosing an equipment, how we could possibly find every little tiny aspects of sound to criticize (actually we criticize "anything" not just the sound that comes into a thread.) and how we could even "hear" those little tiny part of sound, I just realize how tolerable, patient and understanding our wives really are to our behaviors. I would like to bow and thanks my extremely understanding wife and all wives of friends in this forum for being stuck with us. I promise to never ever complain when she spends so much time in picking shoes in a shoe shop.

(I actually don't mind it when my wife spends a lot of time picking shoes in a shoe store.)
But the best way we could show our appreciation to our wives is by not ignoring them when they accompany us to audio events or to meet audio friends -- and by admonishing our audio friends not to ignore our wives either.

I don't mind either BECAUSE I'M NEVER THERE WHEN IT HAPPENS!
I won't subject myself to that kind of punishment!
She can buy all the shoes she wants as long as I don't have to be there!
I'm perfectly happy seeing what she brings home from the store.
I don't have to be there to see the rejects.
Gian, I doubt you yourself know how much you have spent in the last 30 years. Don't count
