| Eliminating Ground Loop Problem Ok I’m serious now.. I got a feeling If I routed that bunch of cables and inspected the connection including grounds between components, a LOT of the noise would go away if not all of it. A crap cable can drive YOU nuts too. NOT ME though.. I won'... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Maori, wedding chant.. Very emotional. Everyone in the party began the Huca Huca Huca, it slowly became more and more intense. Then a climatic HUCA, HUCA, HUCA and STOP..... I’ve never seen anything like it.. I was very honored... They became one ... | |
