Instead of keeping you alert, it cherish your senses and brings your attention to music. There is a lot of micro-detail for those detail-hunters out there, but it is very well integrated within the musical context, so it does not disturb.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSolid Conductors\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll six of Rocket 33's conductors are solid. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the single greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat harsh, dirty and confused sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSolid conductors are the most important ingredients enabling Rocket 33's very clear sound. Whether a conductor is solid or stranded, skin effect is a prime distortion mechanism in speaker cables. Rocket 33 very simply keeps this effect out of the audio range by using conductor sizes that are below the threshold for audible distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCarbon-Based Noise Dissipation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAlternating layers of carbon-loaded synthetics \"shield the shield,\" minimizing RF noise before it reaches the layer attached to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLong-Grain Copper \u0026amp; Perfect-Surface Copper\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eRocket 33 uses a carefully finessed combination of Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and high purity Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors. All conductors are solid, which prevents strand interaction, a major source of distortion. Surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers. High-purity PSC further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpread Spectrum Technology (SST)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAny single size or shape of conductor has a characteristic distortion profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid round or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, each size still has a sonic signature. Rocket 33 uses a precise combination of three different size conductors in order to significantly reduce the audibility of these character flaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDouble Star-Quad Geometry\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe relationship between conductors defines a cable's most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). However, even when those variables are kept in a reasonable balance, the relationship between conductors can be varied in ways that greatly affect the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Double Star-Quad geometry of Rocket 33 reduces time smearing while preserving dynamics and clarity. In addition, Rocket 33 is an exceptional Single-BiWire cable. When the halves are separated at the speaker end, the design design turns Rocket 33 into a true Double-BiWire set thanks to the magnetic autonomy of each star-quad. When separated, the Dual-Triple let Rocket 33 be a maximum performance Double-BiWire in a single cable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45983182323885,"sku":"NEW-AQRO33-10.0FT-SPBAN-PR","price":869.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/AQROCKET33_SPBI-LARGE__99422.1691714018.1280.1280_b4709120-ce89-4912-a3f1-f5aff4b6651e.jpg?v=1778139596","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/audioquest-rocket-33-speaker-cable-10-foot-spade-to-banana-pair","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
