AudioQuest points out that any ground wire also acts as an antenna for radio-frequency noise. The AudioQuest Dragon GroundGoody is its answer: a ground wire built with the same Solid Perfect-Surface Silver conductors and noise-dissipation technology as its top cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eUse it to ground a turntable, a ground box, a subwoofer, or powered speakers. AudioQuest says it can pair with nearly any analog interconnect to make a low-distortion phono cable.

AudioQuest uses solid conductors to avoid strand interaction, and every conductor is direction-controlled. AudioQuest’s patented RF\/ND-Tech, the noise dissipation used in its Level 8 cables, is designed to dissipate and cancel induced RF noise. A black nylon braid jacket finishes the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Ground Cable Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl listeners with high-end analog rigs\u003c\/strong\u003e — It grounds your turntable with AudioQuest’s best conductor metal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone building a custom phono cable\u003c\/strong\u003e — AudioQuest says it pairs with nearly any analog interconnect for phono use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwners of subwoofers or powered speakers with ground posts\u003c\/strong\u003e — Spade lugs fit standard ground terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort runs between components\u003c\/strong\u003e — The 0.6-meter length suits a turntable sitting close to its phono stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot ideal on a tighter budget or for longer runs\u003c\/strong\u003e — The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/audioquest-thunderbird-ground-goody-ground-cable-1-0-meter\" style=\"color:#8a5a2b;\"\u003eAudioQuest ThunderBird GroundGoody\u003c\/a\u003e uses solid 6% silver conductors and comes in a 1-meter length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eHow Does It Connect to Your System?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eLoosen the ground post on your turntable or tonearm and slide one spade lug under it, then tighten.
