2. AudioQuest - Rocket 88 10' Pair Bi-Amp Speaker Cable, Silver Banana Connectors - Green/Black

RUSSOUND EZB-8 Connecting Block: 300W peak power handling (150W RMS); 1 amplifier input; 8 speaker outputs; impedance matching; for indoor use

AudioQuest Rocket 88 Bi-Amp speaker cable is a perfect choice for audio systems that employ a power amp or receiver with the ability to assign channels, or two identical power amps or receivers, driving bi-wirable loudspeakers (those with two pairs of binding posts). The flagship model of AudioQuest’s versatile Rocket Series, Rocket 88 shares several outstanding design elements with its award-winning siblings, but significantly improves overall performance with its higher-purity conductor metal and patented 72v Dielectric-Bias System. Terminated with high-quality silver-plated banana plugs, AudioQuest Rocket 88 is a high-performance speaker cable resolving enough for most high-end audio systems: Rocket 88 uses only AudioQuest’s very best copper, Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+), in a Double Star-Quad configuration designed to reduce distortion for cleaner, clearer, more naturally detailed sound. Like other models in the Rocket Series, Rocket 88 features AudioQuest’s effective Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation, and, as with all AudioQuest cables, the conductors in Rocket 88 are Direction-Controlled to minimize the damaging effects of radio-frequency noise. Taking noise-dissipation even further, Rocket 88 adds AudioQuest’s patented 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS), which minimizes dielectric noise and improves wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise. With its thoughtful, time-tested combination of high-quality materials and design elements, AudioQuest Rocket 88 is an outstanding choice for high-performance audio systems.
