Does your gf/bf/hubby/wife support your audio hobby too much?!?

I haven't started posting my dirty poems yet.

well, this thread started out as half-serious, but I guess no one has the same problem, I gather?

It's looking more and more like that I'll be spending my next purchase NOT on brand new macbook, but a vinyl rig with possible Omega II. (yay?)

Not a fan of rifles, prefer stuffing kerosene-soaked rags into shiny cylindrical objects. And teabagging.

Hmmm.... the thread become joke contest or something, but it's ok as long as the OP and people feel ok that way.

Here's what I say.

Most gfs usually are supportive on bf's hobby. It is not that they like or understand what bf's are doing, but that's what her bf likes. If gf shares the same hobby, that's even better.

But that will not last forever.
Real life issues rather than hobby will step in between two, after they got married... unless they have enough income and time to enjoy the hobby. Should husband fail to fullfill this, the wife (former gf who was very supportive) will start to talking about how much she hated his hobby. That's very common.

So, this is my advice. Get the most out of this supportive mood. Earn as much as you can to maintain that mood alive for long long time.

oh yeah, omega II will most likely be end of headphone upgrade for a very long time. Until I get into speakers. Her Dad is a serious audiophile as well (in speaker setup) so she has adopted that hobby as well.

thanks for the helpful words, and yes, I don't mind the jokes

on more serious note, it looks like it's going to happen -> vinyl ->amp -> Stax O2.

I just have to give up on leica M8 and new lens for it - I should still be able to have a budget for vinyl/stax rig and the upcoming macbook. I just wanted a digital alternative to my leica M6, and more and more I read about M8, it's looking like it's not for me (vastly inferior to film alternative, apparently).

Time to save, save, save and spoil myself and gf around christmas time. yay?

O2 should be the end of the road for my headphone hobby... until I decide I need a dynamic setup to match! (sad face) But that should be years away before I get sick of upcoming stax rig.
