Audio quest Rocket 88 how good are they?


Recently I needed to use a store credit. Considering that my speaker cables kimber 12 T are my oldest link in my system, I went for an upgrade. Soon I will be receiving a pair of biwired Rocket 88 72 DBS. I have Belles elctronics and Vandersteen 2CE sig. How much of improvement should I expect? Vandersteen owners, lets hear your experience.

I preferred Rocket 33s to Kimber 12 TC when I was auditioning in my system. I think you will hear a difference and preference will be based on your tastes including your musical selection.

hifiguy42 it’s funny you mentioned that because I also used to use Rocket 88 on my Vandersteen 2CE Sig II for a few years and love it driven by my Macintosh MC 601 model block and really no regrets but I now moved up to the Crystal Clear Cable the Magnum Opus (Silver) and made a huge difference. You can’t go wrong with the Rocket 88

I have a pair of slightly too short Rocket 33s that were recommended by Bill Low himself when I talked to him at a local hifi joint. Great cables that I stashed away hoping they’ll grow longer. I currently use the revised and ridiculously inexpensive Kimber 8PRs and they’re also great sounding. AQ Type 8s are also highly recommended bargain cables currently in my ever growing cable museum.
