We designed our original Basic Ground Wire in 2015 to be high performance while offering exceptional value. Fast forward over five years, and we have advanced the state of our art with new technologies that improve nearly all aspects of cable performance, including discoveries we could not have dreamed of five years ago. With this in mind, we set out to completely redesign the original Basic Ground Wire with new technologies and materials initially developed for our Foundation Series cables, as well as our brand new state-of-the-art SRX cables.
The Foundation Ground Cable starts with a Silver Matrix Alloy in a PTFE dielectric. We then incorporated a new woven jacket from our Foundation Series cables to reduce unwanted conductor resonance and static charge build-up. Shielding got a new UEF Compound originally developed for our Foundation Series cables applied in a Matrix pattern to the outside of the cable for a lower noise floor and enhanced musicality. Lastly, we use a new Three Stage High Voltage conditioning process first developed for our upcoming flagship SRX cables to increase the soundstage scale with a more three-dimensional presentation. All told, these effects are anything but subtle. So if you think a ground wire is just a ground wire, you owe it to yourself to audition a set of Foundation Ground cables with your SR Ground Block and rediscover the art of being well-grounded.
