Mains Conditioning & Grounding
Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE
Prefer to hear it first? We can arrange a demonstration in your own home across Suffolk, Essex and the surrounding areas, with set-up by people who actually listen.
Overview & specification
The New Active Ground Block takes the award winning UEF Ground Filter from our original SR Ground Block and adds an active ULF Field Generator, and on the SE model, a dedicated Active EM Cell as found in SR PowerCell line conditioners to supercharge the performance of every component in your system including Synergistic Research cables equipped with external grounding technology.
Benefits include a noticeable increase in deep bass power and weight, a more holographic sound field, smoother high frequencies with greater extension and ‘air’, a more present and layered mid-range, increased tonal density with an apparent increase in resolution; it’s like going from a standard resolution Redbook file to Double DSD, the improvement is that dramatic. Nearly every aspect of system performance is transformed over the original; in fact, the difference between the new Active Ground Block and our original SR Ground Block is greater than the difference between the original Ground Block and no ground filter at all!
The term “ground” refers to a connection to the Earth, which acts as a reservoir of charge. The high-speed, SR Active Ground Block provides a conductive path for this ground, separate from the normal current-carrying path of your components, which under certain conditions can add up to 10 dB of noise if poorly designed! The ground path with the least resistance is the best path to Earth, and there is no better ground path for your components than the SR Active Ground Block.
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
Phono-stage – Standard or Small Spade Connect to Ground Post
Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) – Connect to spare Digital Input, Output or Chassis Ground
Reel to Reel Tape – Connect to spare Analog Input, Output or Chassis Ground
Pre-Amplifiers – Connect to spare Analog Input, Output or Chassis Ground
Power Amplifiers – Connect to spare Analog Input, Output or Chassis Ground. Note: Many power amplifiers will sound best without the ground engaged. Try your power amp and speaker cables with and without the ground attached and choose what sounds best for your system.
