SONICART “REFERENCE
to GROUND”
Sonic Art REFERENCE Ground cables
are made from our Silver Reference series conductors using our Variostrand and time aligned designs, the Ground cable uses
a combination of our silver copper alloy conductors, insulated in pressure cast
Teflon. We then add a heavy woven PE antistatic sheath to protect and damped
the wire. CARDAS Silver Rhodium plated pure copper spades are fitted to both
ends. We crimp the wires inside the spade then silver solder the wire/spade
junction to ensure years of trouble free operation. Adhesive heatshrink is used at both ends to keep the ground wire
firmly assembled.
• Why choose Silver? Because it offers excellent conductivity, and if the metallurgy is
correct, a sweet and detailed sound.
• Why Silver & Copper? Pure Silver is soft, it requires traces of
impure metals for strength and can sound bright and thin when combined with the
most common mixer metals. Combine it with Hi purity copper and you have the best
of both worlds.
• Why choose TEFLON? Dielectric quality is an important factor when designing cable. The
lowest loss insulator available is VIRGIN PTFE (Pressure Cast TEFLON), Teflon unfortunately
is also the most expensive, which you could surmise is why many manufacturers
avoid using it. Our TEFLON is
the highest MILSPEC grade
available and exhibits the lowest signal loss of any insulator besides air.
• CARDAS Quad-Eutectic Silver Solder
is used to seal the connection in our Silver plated Spades. If you attempt to
solder silver with normal solders you get absorption of silver particles
causing poor joint performance and degradation of signal. Silver solder is
designed to suppress silver absorption from the surface of the silver wire
leaving a joint that is pure and provides the best conductivity from solder
possible.
NOTE:
Where we use PE sheathing over our cables, it is purely for Anti Static
properties and in no way is a structural part of the cable.
Have you ever noticed how other HI-END cable
manufacturer’s have a range of much cheaper models, all slotted in under their most
expensive ‘Flagship” cable?
