AudioQuest - Rocket 88 Speaker Cable

Experience the prodigious output of sonic perfection via the phenomenal AudioQuest - Rocket 88 (Rocket Series) - Prepared Speaker Cable. A carefully curated assemblage of top-tier components, the Rocket 88 redefines audio transmission with its potent concoction of solid Perfect-Surface Copper+, which eclipses its predecessor, Long-Grain Copper by bounds. The patented Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) drops the curtain on noise with finesse, allowing you to immerse deeper into the layered delicacy of your favorite symphonies. Adding to the auditory banquet, its PSC+ offers an unparalleled smoothness, recreating the natural timbre and texture of live music in your living room. The coupling of PSC+ hitting the sweet spot between clarity and elimination of harshness is mind-boggling, making the conductor mix an absolute winner. The Rocket 88 boldly employs Carbon-Load Polyethylene insulation for the negative conductors, nipping at the bud of radio-frequency interference, enhancing not only 'hash' reduction but also improving dimensional sound quality. Its Nitrogen-Injected Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation on positive conductors does an excellent dance with air, rendering negligible energy absorption and benign distortion profile, thereby providing a sharper, clearer acoustic experience. The grandeur of the Rocket 88 doesn't stop there—its US patented DBS, with immersive dynamic contrasts and vivid details, makes sound gush from an astonishingly black background. The longevity of the DBS battery packs lack no praise as well, with a convenient test button and LED system to ensure you're never out of juice. Delving into its architectural brilliance, the Double Star-Quad geometry of Rocket 88 paves the way for a bountiful capacity for dynamic contrast and intelligibility of sound. This superbly engineered product goes beyond being merely a Single-BiWire cable, with the capacity to transform into a supreme performer Double BiWire due to its inherent magnetic autonomy. Not to be left out is the sharp focus on secure terminations, providing connections that deliver a low-distortion sound quality that outshines even the most visually impressive components. Furthermore, the PVC “pants” ensure directionality, optimizing your audio set-up for the best possible sound. The Rocket 88 is indeed, a banquet of auditory perfection, meticulously crafted in limited quantities. Please remember to enquire about stock levels and prepare for a transformative audio experience.

Features:

  • Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors: Rocket 88 features an unparalleled mix of PSC+ conductors that drastically eliminate harshness and bolsters clarity.
  • Carbon-Based Noise- and Cross-Talk Dissipation Systems: The innovatively used Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene insulates four negative conductors, effectively reducing RF interference and improving the dimensional sound quality.
  • Nitrogen-Injected Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation: This insulation applied to positive conductors mitigates energy absorption and distortion, enhancing audio sharpness.
  • Dielectric-Bias System (DBS): The patented DBS provides a dynamic contrast, bringing out sound details from a surprisingly dark background. The DBS battery packs, complete with a test button and LED system, last for years.
  • Double Star-Quad Geometry: This construction arrangement provides an enhanced dynamic contrast and information intelligibility, outperforming parallel conductor arrangements.
  • Spread-Spectrum Technology (SST): SST reduces the conductor's distortion profile, paving the way for an exceptionally clear and dynamic sound.
  • BiWiring Capability: Rocket 88 is a high-performing Single-BiWire cable that can be transformed into a Double-BiWire due to its inherent geometry.
  • Quality Terminations: High-quality connectors ensure secure attachment to any equipment, facilitating a low-distortion sound quality.
  • Mindful Application: The marked PVC “pants” facilitate proper usage for optimal sound performance.

Benefits:

  • Superior Sound Quality: The Rocket 88's conductor mix is PSC+, delivering a smoother, more relaxed, and natural sonic timbre and texture.
  • Enhanced Clarity: Carbon-based systems and Nitrogen-Injected Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation significantly increase clarity and reduce harshness.
  • Minimized Noise: Rocket 88's components work systematically to minimize RF garbage and time-sensitive multi-octave audio distortion.
  • Longevity: The US patented DBS ensures years of sustained high-quality audio experience.
  • Increased Intelligibility: Rocket 88's Double Star-Quad Geometry allows for a superior dynamic contrast and sound intelligibility.
  • Dynamic Sound: SST creates an exceptionally clear, clean, and dynamic sound, reducing the awareness of character flaws found in different conductors.
  • Versatility: Rocket 88 can function both as a top-performing Single-BiWire and Double BiWire cable, transforming your audio experience.
  • Secure Connection: The high-quality connectors and AQ PK-spade lugs provide a secure, low-distortion audio connection.
  • Optimized Usage: The PVC "pants" marking ensures the correct and optimized usage of the cables for the ultimate audio performance.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.

It does have a lovely warm presentation that is not overly analytical. It is in no way a "purist" amplifier, but what it does have is a bit of boost in the lower frequencies, giving it more 'presence' and making it ideal for lower-level listening (as I do), but it also loves some juice if you are that way inclined. The built in DAC is also excellent, making it extremely versatile. It is very well built and solid. Overall an excellent choice for music lovers, more than nit-picking "audiophiles" - this isn't to say it sounds bad, in fact it will only add to your enjoyment of music. The choice of options for the front display is also a nice touch - either "analogue" style or digital V.U. meters, for example (or other options). Note: I don't know what product a previous reviewer is confusing this 7000a with, but it does indeed have "volume and source knobs", as well as a MC phono input (although I didn't get a chance to use it).
