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.
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.

This AudioQuest Irish Red IRED05 cable features a metal-layer noise-dissipation system to help reduce RF and EMI noise. The 0.5% silver-plated copper and nitrogen-injected insulation ensure signal clarity for crisp, high-quality audio.

AudioQuest Rocket 44 Full-Range speaker cable shares several outstanding design elements with its award-winning sibling, the smaller-gauge Rocket 33, but improves overall performance with its higher-purity conductor metal. Appropriate for full-range speaker systems and terminated with high-quality silver-plated banana plugs, AudioQuest Rocket 44 is a versatile high-performance speaker cable resolving enough for high-end audio systems and practical enough for most home entertainment systems. Rocket 44 uses a carefully finessed combination of AudioQuest’s excellent Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and the company’s very best copper, Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+), in a Double Star-Quad configuration designed to reduce distortion for cleaner, clearer, more naturally detailed sound. Further, Rocket 44 features AudioQuest’s effective Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation, and, as with all AudioQuest cables, the conductors in Rocket 44 are Direction-Controlled to minimize the damaging effects of radio-frequency noise. With its thoughtful, time-tested combination of high-quality materials and design elements, AudioQuest Rocket 44 is an outstanding choice for all types of music, movies, and listening environments.

This connector joins 2 RCA cables and features gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transfer.
