I switched from Audioquest Clear to Volcano a year ago. I have never been a fan of silver speaker wire or interconnects except on video. I find them to bright for audio. I'm using the Volcano in a double biwire setup. The Volcano retained the smooth sound of the Clear with an increase in attack, soundstage and midrange focus. The Volcano also has a very tight and detailed bass, you can hear the fingers on the bass string not just the bass. Keep in mine there is a break in period, it will take some time for the bass to come alive and the mid to mellow. I have listened to numerous wires and this was my favorite. My system consists of Vandersteen fives and Audio Research SP10 preamp VT100 MKII power amp CD1T transport and DAC III MKII DA converter. Also an Oracle Delphi MK V table with a Graham 2.2 tonearm and a Van del hal Frog cartridge.
