AUDIOQUEST Rocket 88. Rocket 88 uses a Perfect-Surface Copper+ of finesse, optimization and extreme purity.
Rocket 88 incorporates AudioQuest's patented DBS (Diaphragm Dielectric System) and replaces long-grain copper with solid Perfect-Surface Copper+. DBS offers a lower noise level, so you can hear the nuances of your favorite music more deeply. At the same time, the addition of more PSC+ provides a softer, more relaxed and natural sonic timbre and texture.
SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+) CONDUCTORS: Rocket 88 uses a fine, optimized and extremely pure Perfect-Surface Copper+. The amazingly smooth and pure blend of PSC+ significantly removes harshness and greatly increases clarity. Rocket 88's driver mix is PSC+.
CARBON-BASED NOISE DISSIPATION AND CROSS-TALK-DISIPAITON SYSTEMS (INSULATION): The four negative conductors of the Rocket 88 are insulated with partially conductive carbon-filled polyethylene. This extraordinary material dampens the radio frequency garbage that is returned to the amplifier. The sonic benefit is the exact same reduction in "hash" and better dimensionality that comes when RF garbage is reduced in an audio circuit. Rocket 88 uses nitrogen-injected foamed polyethylene insulation on its positive conductors because air absorbs close to no energy, and polyethylene is low-loss with a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in the Foamed Polyethylene Insulation, it causes much less of the "out of focus" effect.
DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (DBS, US Pat #s 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1): All insulation slows down the signal on the inner conductor. When the isolation is not biased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest's DBS creates a strong and stable electrostatic field that saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both the energy storage in the insulation and the multiple non-linear time delays that occur. The sound emerges from a startlingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. DBS battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for occasional battery checks.
DOUBLE STAR-QUAD GEOMETRY: The relationship between conductors defines the most basic electrical values of a cable (capacity and inductance). However, even when those variables are kept in reasonable balance, the relationship between the drivers can vary in ways that greatly affect the sound. Rocket 88's Double Star-Quad construction allows for much more dynamic contrast and information intelligibility than if the same drivers were in parallel.
SPREAD-SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY (SST): Any size or shape of conductor has a specific distortion profile. Although radially symmetrical conductors (solid or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, any conductor of a particular size has a sonic signature. SST is a method of significantly reducing awareness of these character flaws through the use of a precise combination of different sizes of conductors. The different sizes of conductors determined by SST used in the Rocket 88 allow an exceptionally clear, clean and dynamic sound.
CABLING: Rocket 88 is an exceptional Single-BiWire cable. When the halves are separated at the speaker end, the Double Star-Quad Geometry turns the Rocket 88 into a true Double-BiWire set thanks to the magnetic autonomy of each quad conductor section. On its own, a group of Star-Quad conductors would be a bit light on its performance, as it is biased towards treble finesse. The other group of Star-Quad bandleaders is biased towards the bass; it is more powerful and lacks final resolution. Together they form a fully optimized full range design. When separated, the Double Star-Quad design allows the 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 the Rocket 88 to be securely connected to any type of equipment. The quality is in the low distortion sound, not necessarily in the eye effect. AQ ends are dull gold or silver in appearance because these metals are plated directly onto the connector. There is no shiny, scratchy nickel layer underneath. AQ PK Spade Pliers are smooth because better metal is soft and makes for a higher quality connection. For parts that require a banana plug or BFA connector, the AQ PK-BFA/Banana offers unprecedented performance compared to conventional brass versions.
