{"product_id":"audioquest-thunderbird-groundgoody","title":"AudioQuest ThunderBird GroundGoody RF-Dissipating Ground Wire","description":"Whether draining a shield or preventing hum, a ground wire — like all wire — is an RF antenna. AudioQuest GroundGoodys are the only solutions that don’t add RF noise while grounding turntables, ground-boxes, subwoofers, powered speakers, and more.\u003cbr\u003eThe often abused “New and Improved” accolade was never truer than with our totally revised GroundGoodys — and so new names were required.\u003cbr\u003eLike Saturn and Jupiter GroundGoodys before them, ThunderBird and Dragon GroundGoodys use premium conductor materials, which are controlled for direction and cold-welded to Direct-Silver Plated #10 size spade lugs.\u003cbr\u003eWhile Saturn used Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductor metal, ThunderBird steps up to Solid 6% silver, significantly enhancing its ability to efficiently dissipate RF noise. Dragon continues with Jupiter’s best-there-is Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS).\u003cbr\u003eThe most important news is that our strongest Noise-Dissipation technology, the patented RF\/ND-Tech that distinguishes AQ’s Level 8 Noise-Dissipation, dissipates and cancels most induced RF Noise.\u003cbr\u003eThunderBird and Dragon GroundGoodys can be combined with nearly any analog interconnect cable to create a low-distortion phono cable. The exceptions are AQ’s ZERO-Tech interconnects: The Mythical Horses (Black Beauty, Pegasus) and Mythical Creatures (ThunderBird, FireBird, Dragon) are not compatible with phono cartridges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid 6% Silver Conductors: Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. To approach the ultimate Noise-Dissipation performance of our best conductor metal—Solid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver—increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to our Long-Grain Copper conductors. Placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance—a superbly cost-effective way to maximize a cable design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-Silver Plated 3\/16 Spaded: Direct-Silver Plating is optimized for sound. It looks dull because there is no underlying layer of shiny, distortion-causing nickel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"0.6 m = 2.25 ft","offer_id":48122181943550,"sku":"GGTBIRD060","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 m = 3.5 ft","offer_id":48122181976318,"sku":"GGTBIRD100","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 m = 5.25 ft","offer_id":48122182009086,"sku":"GGTBIRD150","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 m = 6.75 ft","offer_id":48122182041854,"sku":"GGTBIRD200","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 m = 10 ft","offer_id":48122182074622,"sku":"GGTBIRD300","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/4156\/7486\/files\/aa550e4949905b511ecdabcf2782090511c2a348.png?v=1777353928","url":"https:\/\/sunnyaudiovideo.com\/products\/audioquest-thunderbird-groundgoody","provider":"Sunny Components Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
