Told my wife that I bought a leather strap and it came with it...
Wonder which tape recorder is Mike getting next...?

Hey Roger,Pretty! Mike's got a lot of catch'n up to do that's for sure.
Hey Roger,
I think you may have missed it... Mike was way ahead of me in obtaining a mint Nagra IV-S...leaving me in the dust... I probably was the only tape guy in NW without a Nagra IV-S...that's what I told my wife anyway.

How about - "I bought this tape and look what came with it".
Think that will work?

One advantage I have is that I have so many stuff in the house, it is hard for my wife to differentiate what's new and what's been there for years. Of course, I had that Nagra IV-S for ages...she just didn't see it before since it was tucked behind a bigger machine I had for eons needless to say... Then having all FedEx shipment routed to my day job address also helps. I just have to buy periodic lunches for our receiving people. Believe me, it took years to figure all these out.

That's what we need is a guide for the newbie audiophile/tapehead. All the tricks us old dudes have learned over the years!
Come here Padawan!!
Hey Ki,
I know where you are coming from. I have all my shipments come to my business address as well.
I don't live to far from my business so the ups & fedex drivers know to bring everything to to my business first.
The problem I run into is... sometimes... is when friends come to visit & bring their wives. I tell the friend or he sees what is new & tells his wife then in turn tells my wife... always a concern so I try to tell the friend first so to avoid a uncomfortable explanation to the wife
We could start a new thread: the wife deception factor!

Next subject should be on necessary - fine art of Creative Financing and Money Laundering - while focusing on how much mega $$$ the recorders you have are fetching on eBay these days. In my case, I got huge mileage out of the recent Nagra T Audio sale on eBay that went for the record amount of $10,100, and she knows I have at least two...meanwhile forgetting to mention the new amps and speakers you just got are worth 1/2 of what you paid on a good day...
I'd have to further the curriculum with "Conditioning" and "Art of the Hustle".
When I first met my wife, you would have thought I killed her best friend when I said this powercord cost $4k. Now... anything under $50k, she don't even bat an eye! Now THAT's "Conditioning"!
