Synergistic Research Ground Block Key Features:
- High-speed, dedicated grounding path – dramatically reduces system noise, revealing hidden musical details and clarity.
- 18-port design – allows multiple components to be grounded simultaneously, improving overall system coherence and refinement.
- Optimized soundstage – expands height, depth, and width, with sharper imaging and richer tonal density for a more immersive listening experience.
- Universal compatibility – works with turntables, DACs, preamps, amplifiers, USB devices, and more to enhance virtually any audio system.
Product Description:
What if you could elevate your audio system without swapping a single component? By connecting your system to the SR Ground Block, listeners discover layers of detail previously hidden. Even the most advanced electronics experience a dramatic reduction in noise, allowing music to emerge from a jet-black background with unprecedented clarity. Modest components gain new levels of refinement, performing well beyond their class as virtually every aspect of the system is enhanced in surprising and impactful ways. Available for in-home audition, the SR Ground Block offers a firsthand demonstration of a breakthrough that redefines how music is experienced at home.
“Ground” refers to a connection to the Earth, which serves as a reservoir for electrical charge. The high-speed SR Grounding Block creates a dedicated conductive path for this ground, separate from the normal current-carrying routes of your components—routes that can introduce up to 10 dB of noise if poorly designed. By providing the lowest-resistance path to Earth, the SR Grounding Block ensures the cleanest, most effective grounding for your system.
Peripheral HUB—18 Ports to Perfection
By optimizing the system’s ground connection, the SR Ground Block delivers a marked improvement in soundstage height, depth, and width through a lower noise floor. The scale of the soundstage expands, with richer tonal density, particularly at its edges. Image outlines become sharper, while overall musicality and system refinement are significantly enhanced.
Applications
- Synergistic Research Galileo UEF and Atmosphere Cables
- Synergistic Research Tranquility Bases
- Synergistic Research Atmospheres
- Turntables – Standard or Small Spade Connect to Ground Post on Turntable
