onemoretime Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 No doubt audiophile test tracks have their place, but let's face it: it's equally important to have some tracks handy for facilitating spousal / partner acceptance. So - what are your go-to tracks for justifying your latest audio purchase(s) to your spouse or partner? Whose favorite track is it - yours or theirs? Do you ever use a track so often they know before you tell them you just bought something? : } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoncookie Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) My opinion - You're not going to gain many points playing her some technically dynamic super well recorded tracks. Rather, play a few songs SHE loves, and as long as they are quality recordings, That will swoon her the most. Music can't really be chosen for others. We ALL have different things that evoke different feelings. You might want, I dunno, some Jazz, She might puke on that, and love some Josh Groban or Andrea Bocelli. Or maybe Mettallica or AC DC. Linda Ronstadt ft Arron Neville "I need you" pretty safe. Of course, you can always make a run to the Drugstore, then put on some Barry White.

prerich Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Whatever she enjoys. That will make the purchase personal, not just what you like - but what she enjoys as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twk123 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Jack Johnson Jack Johnson is always a good play. Depending on her style, MGMT is a good rock out option or some chill deep house with good vocals. Lindsey Stirling is pretty epic at high SPL on Klispch speakers with her violin screaming above the deep dubsteb beats. The biggest win is to see what song she sings along to the most and play that one or just hand her the spotify controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Wouldn't it be more authentic if female members answered the question, since it looks like all the answers here...probably aren't from females Edited July 12, 2016 by Chris A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) ...justifying your latest audio purchase(s) to your spouse or partner? This concept is completely foreign in our relationship. In fact, she just finished a cupboard in our bedroom to make place for an amp and BD player. I was throwing around words like "horn subwoofer" and "corner speakers" in regards to the bedroom without any disagreement from her what-so-ever. She even offered up a few suggestions. As far as some of her favorites? Hall & Oates, Wham!, DJ Baby Anne, Black Mill Edited July 12, 2016 by Quiet_Hollow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 My wife does not really care what I purchase in music or gear for the most part. She can always get into Michael Jackson, Barry White, Hall and Oats, Phil Collins and some others. She is stuck back in the late 70's and 80's. I also uploaded a few gigs to her computer to play on her Bose SoundDock. Karsoncookie, have you heard some of the Barry White lyrics? Someone is trying to get .........well, I will leave it at that, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACM Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 without a doubt, Frank Zappa's Inca Roads. Oh wait, it's wife acceptance factor, not wife annoyance factor. The artists I gravitate to for her pleasure are Ray Charles, Taj Mahal, Jason Isbell, or the phenomenal John Lee Hooker's It Serve You Right to Suffer.

Karsoncookie Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Again, it's 100% what SHE likes, and 0% what you like. As long as it's a crisp quality recording. Lars Edited July 12, 2016 by Karsoncookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtr20 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) My wife always likes Sully Erna's solo album and his live CD. She also likes Alice Cooper's Welcome to my Nightmare Edited July 13, 2016 by dtr20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsoncookie Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It makes very minimal diff what anybody elses "Wife" likes. Other than a generization "profiling". WAY more than a sex thing, it's an Individual thing. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
