Rung in lobe and stapes
When I began I saw that sound was sound, speakers were speakers. Then as I learned more and more I came to see that sound was not sound, speakers were not speakers. Finally having become a Zen master audiophile I now see that sound is sound, and s... 
Need advice concerning audio cabinet shelves

Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again.
