Reviews for AudioQuest Rocket 22 Speaker Cable - Custom Length

Great build quality and combined with new Cambridge Audio amp has brought my living room to life with a sharper, cleaner sound

I bought this cable as an upgrade from the Chord C-Screen cable I was using and honestly I could hear no notable difference. The build quality of the Rocket 22 was far superior but, to my ear, the sound was the same.

Cleaner sound, the hum is decreased compared to my previous more expensive cable. Very satisfied.

Very spacious sounding with a fine treble.Excellent soundstage love this cable. Thanks to Adam for his advice.

Sound got more arranged and clear. Bass sound became more tight and not boomy. Who said speaker cable doesn’t matter ? That’s total BS

The cables arrived late here in the Philippines due to the current pandemic situation. I ordered it Sept 4 and was shipped on Sept 8 and arrived on October 6.

On to the cables. These Rocket 22s are superb sounding cables. The switch from my AQ flex slip 14/4 to these and the difference for me was significant. This is a definite and worthwhile upgrade. Thank you, Future Shop and AudioQuest.

I have recently changed and upgraded my audio equipment and was pleased with the results.In recent years I have been somewhat sceptical of claims made by cable manufacturers and press reviews.However I felt that having invested in new equipment I should give it the best possible chance by gradually changing the interconnects,starting with the speaker cable.Having done due diligence and also spoken with the very helpful people at Futureshop I settled on Rocket 22.

On changing only the speaker cable the difference was immediate and obvious in terms of scale and detail and most importantly,enjoyment.I really am amazed at the difference.All things are relative of course and who knows what spending more money might achieve.For me though better than expected results for a sensible price is always the objective. On this basis I would highly recommend Rocket 22.

I will recommend these cables to whoever have a decent hi-fi to improve the sound.

I upgraded to Rocket 22 from Rocket 11. The Rocket 11 had already outperformed several cables I used in the past from Chord, QED and van den Hul. It was doing nothing wrong but I was curious about the improvements the Rocket 22 could offer.

The immediate difference when I swapped in the 22 was the sound level seemed a touch softer than with the 11. It took some getting used to before I realized it was because the soundstage is deeper than with the 11.

This is a very spacious sounding cable with superbly refined treble. If your musical diet tends towards rock and pop and you are playing it through speakers with slightly dull tweeters, the Rocket 11 will provide some upfront pep to make it more exciting. The 22 could make it more laid back.

However the Rocket 22 outright wins when it comes to vocal and acoustic music. It brings out so much more nuance and texture to voices and instruments, it's amazing. Coupled with its spacious quality, it makes for intoxicating life-like sound reproduction leading to prolonged listening sessions.

For its asking price, the Rocket 22 over-achieves.

Note: the bass will sound swampy and muddled from new but it clears up soon enough.

Thank you to Adam, Gary and Glyn for the helpful responses. I will purchase from FutureShop again. :)

Connected between a Dared vp845 and Klipsch Klf20 this cable just disappears. Lovely open and fluid sound. Just added a Monsoon cable to the system with dramatic improvements. Can't fault the 22 at this price or even twice the price.
