{"product_id":"audioquest-rocket-44-lautsprecherkabel","title":"AudioQuest Rocket 44 Speaker Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AudioQuest Rocket 44 is a made-to-order high-end speaker cable with solid-core conductors of Perfect-Surface Copper+ and Perfect-Surface Copper, Double Star-Quad geometry and carbon-based noise dissipation. It's the level at which the Rocket series starts talking on equal terms with considerably more expensive cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Rocket 44?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurity increases: PSC+ undergoes an additional treatment that further reduces grain boundaries and surface roughness, complemented by PSC conductors in the same bundle. Cross-section grows to 13 AWG compared with the Rocket 33, the Double Star-Quad arrangement remains, and alongside the carbon-loaded layer on the negative conductors there's now an outer carbon layer around the conductor pair. What ultimately stands out is less a new sound than the quiet between the notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou choose length and configuration: \u003cstrong\u003eFull-Range\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eSingle-BiWire\u003c\/strong\u003e. From this level up, the larger SureGrip 500 connectors are used, in banana or multi-spade. The price is per pair; single runs are made to order on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Rocket 44 suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlainly put: on an entry-level system, the effort evaporates – the smaller Rockets are entirely sufficient there. The 44 shows its strengths on high-resolution floorstanding speakers and powerful amplifiers: calm, control, a three-dimensional soundstage. Anyone who also wants the Dielectric-Bias System has to reach for the Rocket 88.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rocket 44 plays with authority and ease and lets nothing slip past demanding speakers.

In the Rocket 44, both materials work side by side. The effect isn't a different tonal character but less disturbance: more fine resolution and a quieter background on suitably resolving systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does SureGrip 500 differ from SureGrip 300?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 connectors are more generously dimensioned and built for the Rocket 44's larger cross-section. They're cold-welded rather than soldered and are direct silver- or gold-plated with no nickel underlayer. We'll clarify with you before termination which variant fits your terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the extra cost over the Rocket 33 worth it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn high-quality, resolving systems, yes: PSC+, the larger cross-section and the additional outer carbon layer bring more calm and three-dimensionality. On mid-range chains, the gap is smaller. Describe your devices and we'll assess it for your case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Rocket 44 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause at this price level we don't just ship it – we think it through with you: the right length, correct termination, clean assembly by our own technician.
