Description
AudioQuest GroundGoody Saturn PSC+ Tonearm Grounding Cable
The existence of AudioQuest GroundGoody ground wires seems to answer a very specific question: can you improve the performance of a ground cable, that one that goes from your turntable to the lug next to your phono inputs? Yes, and it makes perfect sense to us.
The Saturn GroundGoody minimizes distortion and protects against RFI noise. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC+) Conductors and Direct-Silver Plated 3/16″ (4.8mm) Spades. The Saturn is direction controlled to drain RF noise.
Features
SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+) CONDUCTORS
Solid conductors prevent both electrical and magnetic interaction strand-to-strand interaction, major sources of distortion. Surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields that extend outside the conductor. The astonishingly smooth and pure surface of all AudioQuest’s Perfect-Surface metals nearly eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to lesser materials. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.
FEP AIR-TUBE INSULATION (FEP IS A FLUORO-POLYMER)
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Air, however, absorbs next to no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation, absorbing less energy than other materials. The use of FEP Air-Tube insulation, with almost nothing but air around the solid PSC+ conductors, improves the sound of an audio system’s focus and dynamics.
DIRECT-SILVER PLATED 3/16″ (4.8MM) SPADES
Direct-Silver Plating is optimized for sound. It looks dull because there is no underlying layer of shiny, distortion-causing nickel.
