I am in the U.S. Even including the shipping costs, this is the best price that I could find for Audioquest Rocket 11. Construction is first class as is the performance. Highly recommended.

Thought I had a good enough cable for my front (L+R) channels which I was convinced was just fine until I decided to upgrade to the What HI-FI's recommended award winning cable.
I was awe struct with the extra body of clear detail and live crispness of sound. This cable has revived my system. I only use Yamaha RX-V681 AV amp with Tannoy Eclispe 3 and Wharfedale Diamond 220's and use Sony BDP-S7200 blue ray for cd's.
Nice to find a product that works really well. What I've learned is do not disregard what good cable can bring to your system. Amazed....

Probably Paid Twice What I Needed

The cable sure sounds good and it's very robust. My problem was that I didn't realise it's for bi-wired speakers. Thus every length has two pairs. My speakers are not set up for bi-wiring so I feel I probably paid twice what I needed (and it's expensive stuff!). I have just connected the two blacks and two reds together at either end. HiFi sounds great. Whether they would sound so good with only one pair in use I will experiment with. So be careful what you order. If you don't have bi-wired speakers, you may be paying a lot more than you need to.
Not love at first “hearing”

Giving less than five stars to these cables wouldn’t be fair but these are a few points to consider when buying them.
Choose BFA/Banana plugs over spade if you like them terminated. To accommodate spade terminated wires, amp side, I had to shift of few positions the signal cables ending up having mismatched input sources. Unfortunately this is a problem with amps with speaker outputs positioned on top of each other rather-than in a single line.
Budget binding posts don’t have enough grip and any tiny movement to the speakers (think when mopping the floor or dusting) loosens them up. I had to replace the spades suregrip 100 with BFA suregrip 100 as they suit best my needs even if they’re easy to bend being made of pure copper. Nonetheless they provide a firm connection.
Conclusions:
The overall sound seems a touch rich towards the mid-low frequencies. Detail and control are still there though!
It could be that this richness has nothing to do with the Rocket11 and the true character of my system is ultimately revealed by these cables.
I had QED Silver Anniversary XT single and bi-wire before and they sounded very different giving a lively bright sound, sad I had to get rid of them. I can live with the rocket 11 and I am sure I’ll end up loving them as I don’t dislike what I am hearing.

Bought this cable to replace aging QED silver anniversary. Very pleased with sound. As the product description highlighted, the cable is flexible if you need to take it around corners (which I certainly did). I chose to have spades at both ends and I'm very pleased with the results. Obviously you can get better cable if you spend more money, but I think this cable is very good value for money. I am using it in a system using Cyrus signature transport, Audiolab DAC, Arcam FMJ A29 amp and B&W 685 S2 speakers.
Amazing cable. Excellent services.

Amazing cable, I use this with my Dynaudio Emit M20 and Schiit Vidar.
This is my first order and I have been surprised of their services, upgrade at no extra cost where one component was out of stock.
