You must have very good senses... Digital scent of a troll

Then, an aftermarket cable replacement is suggested (although it is not necessary), ESPECIALLY balanced XLR connectors - this really helps! Next comes the crucial step (this really brings out the highs!), take a pair of scissors and cut your cables with them to reveal exposed wires, and stick these wires into the nearest AC socket. They're really not that bad after the mods! |
