| Voice. Most powerful and natural instrument. Friends of my parents were opera singers. She was soprano while he was bass/baritone. I heard her practicing ones in the room and it was unbearably loud. It sounded like regular opera voice 5x louder. I've never heard him singing but when he cough... | |
| where do I connect the earth in my pre to? It is unsafe to "ignore ground pin". Gear with two prong plug is designed differently. | |
