It begins with a flip of a switch, and often on the first power-up of a new component.

In this episode, engineer Darren takes us down to the ground as we try to understand voltages, currents and potential differences on our ground lines.This week's album recommendation takes us into the electronic music world, with an album full of remixes of a fun 3-track EP released late last year.   This podcast is powered by CommonGround Cables Whisper power cable.
