It's built on the same extended-duration high-voltage conditioning process as the rest of the SRX XL line. The cable's shield can be star-grounded to a Synergistic Research \u003ca href=\"\/products\/synergistic-research-ground-block\"\u003eGround Block\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/synergistic-research-active-ground-block-sx\"\u003eActive Ground Block\u003c\/a\u003e (sold separately) for a further reduction in noise floor. Owners with a complete loom of SRX series cables can trade in for up to 70% credit toward SRX XL through the Lifetime Passport Protection Program. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you choose the right termination (RCA, XLR, or BNC) for your DAC and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in RCA, XLR, and BNC terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3rd-gen Silver Matrix signal conductor(s) plus 3rd-gen High Current Galileo Silver Matrix strings and pure silver Air String cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSRX XL UEF Shielding with Graphene coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard silver SR20 RCA or XLR connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips standard with Gold and Silver carbon fibre UEF Tuning Bullets (work entirely outside the signal path)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be star-grounded to a Synergistic Research Ground Block or Active Ground Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrade-in eligible under the Lifetime Passport Protection Program (up to 70% credit from an existing SRX loom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTuning Modules\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSRX XL Digital Interconnects ship standard with Gold and Silver carbon fibre UEF Tuning Bullets.
