Hi All,
Audio Advisor sells AudioQuest Rocket 88 Speaker Cable No Frills at a discount from the DBS version.
Has anyone auditioned the No Frills version? Is it worth the cost? How is the SQ?

I am using AudioQuest's Q2 cable at this time and would like to upgrage. What do you think? Is it worth it?

I would really appreciate your input on this.

Thanks

I upgraded from the ones with DBS to GR Research 24 strand. The 10 foot pair assembled and shipped for under $550. Improved soundstage and everything seems effortless at any volume.
 
It looks reasonable for the price point - essentially it's priced and spec'd like the Rocket 44 (13 AWG star-quad, no DBS), but has better quality metal (all PSC+ in 88 versus a mix of PSC and PSC+ in the 44). I once compared a factory prepared 44 to factory prepared 88 w/ DBS (recent versions - these models date back almost 20 years, and have seen improvements worked in incrementally) and the 88 was clearly much better, but I can't say if the improvement came more from the DBS or the extra PSC+ copper. I'd guess it performs closer to the "full" 88, while being priced like the 44.
