That all changed when The Audiophile asked me to help him install the spikey things that screw into the bottom of the speakers. I, of course, was tasked with using the tiny diaper to carefully lean the speaker sideways while he scrutinized the situation with the undercarriage.
While physics wasn't my best subject back in the
day, I can tell you that leaning a fifty-pound object at a 45-degree angle while holding it with
a slippery little piece of cotton is exactly what Albert Einstein had in mind when he conjured
up that bit about gravity and its effects.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong, or you would have
heard our collective screams no matter what zip code you call your own. I would,
however, like to encourage speaker manufacturers to swap out the diapers for something that
would make the handling of fine musical furniture less of a dalliance with the scientific
laws of nature.
