So without ado, I pretty much have a free hand to buy any audio gear I want. I usually don’t get any blow black; however on occasion when lots of freight trucks show up too often, I’m faced with the dreaded question “I see you bought some new gear” (she also has a remarkable skill of assessing the cost)

So, I have to remind her “that is the gear that’s been out for months on warranty repair”.

With all the gear I own, it’s not quite a lie. Gross misrepresentation; hardly. I of course, after all approve anything she wants/buys.

More to follow…
I've been known to divide the actual price by 5.
