AudioQuest 15 Feet Rocket 88 Speaker Cable - ROCKET8815FTFR

Product Details
AudioQuest ROCKET8815FTFR 15 Feet Rocket 88 Speaker Cable (Sold As Single Cable)
Features
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Rocket 88 uses a carefully finessed, optimized and extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface
Copper+. The astonishingly smooth and pure combination of PSC+ significantly
eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity. Rocket 88's conductor
mix is PSC+
Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation and Cross-Talk-Dissipation Systems (Insulation)
The four negative conductors in Rocket 88 are insulated with partially conductive
Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene. This remarkable material damps radio-frequency
garbage from being fed back into the amplifier. The sonic benefit is exactly
the same reduction in "hash" and better dimensionality that comes
whenever RF garbage is reduced in an audio circuit. Rocket 88 uses Nitrogen-Injected
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation on its positive conductors because air absorbs
next to no energy, and Polyethylene is low-loss with a benign distortion profile.
Thanks to all the air in Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation, it causes much less
of the "out-of-focus" effect common to other materials
Dielectric-Bias System (DBS, US Pat #s 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1)
All insulation slows down the signal on the conductor inside. When insulation
is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem
for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest's DBS creates
a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes)
the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the
insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears
from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast.
The DBS battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for
the occasional battery check
Double Star-Quad Geometry
The relationship between conductors defines a cable's most basic electrical
values (capacitance and inductance). However, even when those variables are
kept in a reasonable balance, the relationship between conductors can be varied
in ways that greatly affect the sound. The Double Star-Quad construction of
Rocket 88 allows for significantly better dynamic contrast and information
intelligibility than if the same conductors were run in parallel
Spread-Spectrum Technology (SST)
Any single size or shape of conductor has a specific distortion profile. Even
though radially symmetrical conductors (solid or tubular) have the fewest
discontinuities, any conductor of a particular size does have a sonic signature.
SST is a method for significantly reducing the awareness of these character
flaws by using a precise combination of different sized conductors. The different
SST-determined conductor sizes used in Rocket 88 allow an exceptionally clear,
clean and dynamic sound
Biwiring
Rocket 88 is an exceptional Single-BiWire cable. When the halves are separated
at the speaker end, the Double Star-Quad Geometry turns Rocket 88 into a true
Double-BiWire set thanks to the magnetic autonomy of each Quad-conductor section.
On its own, one Star-Quad conductor group would be a little lightweight in
performance as it is biased towards treble finesse. The other Star-Quad conductor
group is biased toward the bass; it's more forceful and lacking ultimate
resolution. Together they form a completely optimized full-range design. When
separated, the Double Star-Quad design allows Rocket 88 to be a maximum-performance
Double BiWire in a single cable
Terminations
AudioQuest offers a wide range of high-quality connectors that allow Rocket
88 to be securely attached to any type of equipment. Quality is in the low-distortion
sound, not necessarily in the eye-candy effect. AQ ends are either dull looking
gold or silver because these metals are plated directly over the connector.
There is no shiny and harsh sounding nickel layer underneath. AQ PK-spade
lugs are soft because better metal is soft, and facilitates a higher quality
connection. For pieces requiring a banana plug or BFA connector the AQ PK-BFA/Banana
provides unprecedented performance over conventional brass versions
Application
The PVC "pants" on either end of Rocket 88 are marked "Speaker
End" or "Amp End." Please use cables in the direction required
