Just to redress the balance after that last post, I would like to say that my wife is cleverer than I am, works harder and earns more money than I do. :wall:

Mine too. :cheers:

This are the days... Mine earns more than me, but I work harder... |(

I think I saw them they grow up so fast and before you know it they have flown the nest and asking you round to put up showers shelves and adjust door hindges etc and also pay for said shelves etc but even so I wouldn't have it any other way :)

My wife uses a Studer A807 or an EMT 950 or a Denon DN C640 into a Urei 6290 into EV Patrician 800's to listen to music.

My wife listens mostly to a Philips Fidelio iPod/iPhone dock. She can't tell the difference between that and the system in my sig.

I kid you not.

It was a very astute move marrying her!

Hi guys, and thanks for asking :) You're right, he's 10 months now, a year old in July. He keeps us very busy but is worth all the hard work. He's a right little character, very funny and curious and interactive with people of all ages. He's been crawling since 7 months and is threatening to walk now. Happily he mostly ignores the AV kit, save for the odd twiddle of the volume on the Onkyo and once accidentally having a pull at the DVD tray on the panasonic ;)

Have literally thousand of photos, this one sums up his cheeky character quite well:

So it has turned out, though at the time I didn't have my astuteness hat on; back then it was love (and still is). :love:

Hi Ben

thanks for sharing the intimacy of your HOME!!!

He looks like a very happy Boy and with a nice smile as well!

Regardering curiosity, huum, if I do remember right, with 10 year I pull apart the Living Room color TV, screw by screw, it was a Korting with a 61 or 66 cm wide... My father had to call the TV tecnitian to put it together...

And yes i'm a cancer as well... :roll: ;)

all the best for the BenLaw Family!

:cheers:

Thanks again Outlaw :) Yes, his destructive tendencies have many years to take effect yet! As long as he's happy I hope that I'll cope. As for the room, Clodagh picked the colour scheme but I've found my hifi and av searching and researching skills have come in handy for tracking down perfect material for wallpaper and curtains - transferable skills ;)

Cheers,

Ben

:grin: Presumably tho it's a PoP cos you end up being comparatively neglectful? I'm sure I'd be fine with that when it happened, but right now it seems harsh.

Not wishing to put down my wife, but she is quite happy to share the music we like. We have been married for 31 years and we are both in our late 40's. So we have experienced the same music tastes as we have got older.

I bought her a mobile phone and its never charged, I bought her a Kindle and I have to charge that for her so she can play games.

Not thats she useless, far from it. Shes brought up 4 lovely children, fostered another 3 and adopted one more. Technology is not her thing.

But we have alot of music from our past that has good memories, from vinyl that as a young husband I had to sell to put petrol in the car, and the tapes that worn in the car stereo and got chewed up, that I need to replace one day (probably vinyl when I get the player).

My wife left me. That 4k2k projector was the final straw. I'm so happy now.

My wife, when not listening to the main ADM 40s, listens to her ADM 9Ts streaming to an ATV using lossless files from her i7 laptop.

She is much more tech savvy than me, particularly with computers, and it is always her that sets up such stuff. She is also cleverer than me, well actually cleverer than most people despite never having had the opportunity to go to university, and certainly earned more than I ever did. She is also a saint, putting up with me these last 13 years and I am a most fortunate man.

p.s. She can also read maps.
