Grounded Speaker Cable

Audio Envy makes it. It's their SP14, which is the successor to the SP12 that I'm using currently.

I, too, am skeptical about this wire. I would ask the manufacturer for proof of concept before buying.

I've never heard of such a thing. Who makes this cable? It sounds like it could be an issue with some amplifiers that do not share common grounds.

It seems like it could be a problem with a floating ground, it definitely wouldn't work with one pair of speakers I own.

I couldn't find a reference to that cable, but guessing it's shielded and that's what the ground is for?

Here's an interesting article on the grounding debate that may explain it:  Grounding and shielding: No size fits all

Personally, I've been eyeing Analysis Plus' speaker cables because of their approach to shielding.

Tannoy speakers use a earth ground wire see here @ 6:39.
