The AudioQuest Black Hole GroundGoody is a specialized grounding cable designed to reduce hum, ground-loop noise, and radio-frequency interference in high-performance audio systems. Unlike typical ground wires that can act as antennas and introduce additional RF noise, the Black Hole GroundGoody is engineered to efficiently drain unwanted noise while maintaining signal purity.
At the core of the cable are solid long-grain copper conductors plated with 6% silver, which help improve high-frequency noise dissipation while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity. Solid conductors also prevent strand interaction, a common source of distortion in conventional multi-strand cables.
To further reduce interference, the Black Hole GroundGoody incorporates a Carbon RF-Trap made from conductive PVC, which absorbs and dissipates radio-frequency energy before it can be induced into the conductor. This design helps prevent RF contamination and contributes to quieter backgrounds and improved overall system performance.
Direction-controlled conductors ensure that induced noise drains in the proper direction away from sensitive audio components. The cable is terminated with direct-silver-plated #10 spade connectors that are cold-welded for a low-distortion, high-reliability connection.
The Black Hole GroundGoody can be used with turntables, phono preamps, ground boxes, wall outlet grounds, or analog interconnects. When paired with interconnect cables, it can help create a low-noise phono connection, improving clarity and reducing background noise in vinyl playback systems.
Designed for audiophile systems where noise control is critical, the AudioQuest Black Hole GroundGoody provides a simple yet highly effective solution for improving grounding and reducing interference.
