What do you think about Audioquest Volcano?

I use(d) Volcano speaker cables as well as Sky interconnects and in my system and they sound anemic in the low frequencies and hollow in the mid-range. These cables to my ear sound incomplete. The DBS system (72v) seems to turn up the treble at the expense of the equally important mid range and low frequencies. I am now listening to a pair of interconnects from Synergistic Research with Tesla active shielding. They cost less then half as much as my Skys and out perform them in the low frequencies, mid range and the highs while breathing significantly more "life" into my system. Comparing Audioquests DBS system to Synergistic Research Active Shielding reveals that Synergistic Research Active Shielding to be a significantly more powerful technology. I have on order an additional pair of Accelerator interconnects and speaker cable and will report the results when I get them hooked up however I cannot recommend the Volcano speaker cables as better kit is available for less.

I could not disagree more with Asians post. I have sky interconnects throughout my system and have a pair of B and W 802's dbl bi wired on my fronts. The sound is jaw dropping. Alot has been written about this combination. I am in agreement. It's alot of $ but in my mind well worth it. I am using SR power cables throughout my system and love that technology. But the sky-volcano combination is unbelievable.

I bought the Vulcano Full range about 6 weeks ago, after using the AQ Clear III for many years. I was about to sell my speakers (MC Systems M1.3, you can find them at www.mc-systems.com) but after the cable change i was surprised. the whole system came alieve again, soundstage was getting bigger, wider and even deeper.
the bass is great, specially after about 2 weeks when the DBS is fully active. the harshness in the high frequenties is gone, midrange is superb.
I use a Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300 amp,
Nu-Vista 3D cd player
wich is connected over an AQ Columbia 72V DBS.
next step will be to get my hands on a set of Niagara or sky.
Also tried the Vulcano on a set of B&W 803`s on a shanling amp, owner was suprised about the sound.

Vulcano, i can and will recommend it to almost everybody who enjoys lively, warm sounds with lots of detail.

I have had the reverse effect when adding the Skys and Mont Blancs to my system then what Aslan had when adding them to his. My system became smoother, more detailed, and a bigger sound both stage and individuals players. I am saving for the Volcanos.

I am using the AQ Volcano Bi-wire speaker cables upgraded to 48VDC DBS and can say without hesitation that these are one of THE most transparent cables I've had the pleasure of using between by Pass Labs Aleph 3 and my Alon 1's. The Aleph 3 is driven by a Sonic Euphoria PLC passive preamp which is driven by a modified Marantz CD63 mk ll.

IC's are AQ Cheetah and AQ Sky both of which have been upgraded to 72VDC DBS of which the 72VDC DBS Sky is in a league of it's own and the combo of the Volcano Bi-wire speaker cables and the AQ IC's have resulted in a system that has musicality in spades and has a feeling of ease and naturalness that is a joy to listen to each and every time.

Very highly recommended.
