AudioQuest - ThunderBird GroundGoody 6.75' RF-Dissipating Ground Wire with U-Spade to U-Spade Connectors - Blue on Black
About this product
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. The often abused “New and Improved” accolade was never TRUEr than with our totally revised GroundGoodys — and so new names were required. Like 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. While 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. The 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.
Features
Solid 6% Silver Conductors
Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. To approach the ultimate Noise-Dissipation performance of our best conductor metalSolid 100% Perfect-Surface Silverincreasingly 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 performancea superbly cost-effective way to maximize a cable design.
Direct-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.

Connect your receivers and amps with this AudioQuest Yukon YUKON02 RCA interconnect cable that features Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors for clean, clear, naturally beautiful sound and PE air-tube insulation to preserve dynamic contrast for ideal audio reproduction.

Connect amplifiers receivers soundbars and AVRs to subwoofers with a purpose-built RCA cable designed for clean reliable signal transfer. Jack Russell features Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to reduce distortion caused by grain boundaries Foamed-Polyethylene insulation to maintain dynamic contrast and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation system that helps dissipate and drain high-frequency noise away from the signal path. The result is more naturally beautiful and detailed music more intelligible dialogue and thrilling sound effects for home theater and music systems.FeaturesSolid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) ConductorsFoamed-Polyethylene (FPE) InsulationMetal-Layer Noise-DissipationCold-Welded Gold-Plated TerminationsDirection-Controlled ConductorsSolid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) ConductorsThe surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields within a conductor and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor. High-purity LGC minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.Foamed-Polyethylene (FPE) InsulationAny solid material adjacent to a conductor is part of an imperfect circuit and absorbs energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile Foamed-PE with its high air content causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.Metal-Layer Noise-DissipationIt’s easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground modulating and distorting the critical referenc
