Audio Quest Rocket 88

The Rocket 88 features AudioQuest’s patented Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) and replaces Long-Grain Copper with solid Perfect-Surface Copper+. The DBS ensures a reduced noise floor so you can hear deeper into the nuances of your favorite music. At the same time, the addition of more PSC+ offers smoother, more relaxed and more natural tones and textures.

SINGLE WIRE CONDUCTORS MADE OF PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+)

Solid conductors prevent the electrical and magnetic mutual influence of the individual strands. PSC+ Solid-Copper reduces distortion due to the presence of grain boundaries and enables maximum linear high-frequency noise dissipation.

DOUBLE STAR QUAD GEOMETRY

The relationship between the individual conductors defines the basic electrical properties of a cable (capacitance and inductance). Even when these variables are kept in a sensible balance, the sound is greatly affected due to the conductors’ particular geometric relationships to one another. The Star Quad geometry is far superior not only to conductors running in parallel, but also to the same conductors run as two twisted pairs.

DIELECTRIC BIAS SYSTEM WITH HIGH FREQUENCY NOISE TRAP

The insulation between two or more conductors is a dielectric whose properties affect the integrity of the signal. If the dielectric is not biased, the dielectric’s involvement (absorption and nonlinear release of energy) causes different time delays (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels, which is a major problem for very time-critical multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF trap (originally developed for the AudioQuest Niagara Series power products) ensures that no high frequency noise from the DBS field elements enters the signal conductors. (DBS, US Patent Numbers 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1)

CARBON-BASED NOISE AND CROSSTALK DISSIPATION SYSTEM

The negative conductors of this cable are insulated with partially conductive carbon-containing polyethylene. This remarkable material attenuates high-frequency interference so that it is not fed back into the amplifier. This provides the same sonic benefit as reducing fluctuations and improving spatiality as reducing RF interference in an audio circuit. An additional carbon layer dampens the mutual influence of positive and negative conductors, and the three-layer carbon-based NDS system as an outer layer additionally absorbs interference from outside.

POLYETHYLENE FOAM INSULATION (FOR ALL PLUS CONDUCTORS)

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor becomes part of an incomplete electrical network. Cable insulation and circuit board material absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortions. However, in the Rocket 33, air-filled polyethylene foam insulation is used for both conductors. Because air absorbs almost no energy and polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile, PE foam with its high air content causes significantly fewer blurring effects than other materials.
