Audioquest Rocket series

You find relatively little on the forums about AQ Rocket series. Not a popular choice around here.

I am very pleased with my current speaker wire- AQ Rocket 88 (non-DBS), purchased from musicdirect. A definite step-up from AQ Type 4.

If you have a good local dealer, try and take some of his suggestions home to demo on your own system. Your ears (and wallet) will answer the question pretty quickly.

I went from Rocket 44 to Rocket 88 with DBS. Rcket88 gives you more detail in music and a lot more musical, staging was improved as well.

Earlier in the year, I took advantage of Music Direct's closeout prices on Audioquest and wired my system with King Cobra ICs, Rocket 44s, and NRG-4 power cables...basically AQ's best of the non-DBS stuff. My ears never really liked the sound; bass and highs seemed rolled off and detail wasn't that great. Guitars just didn't have any attack and were wimpy. Overall, I felt the Audioquest stuff made my system sound compressed and veiled sounding. Despite numerous break-in time and 4 months of hoping things would get better, I eventually scrapped everything for similarly-priced Acoustic Zen cabling and never looked back.
