It seems, AQ Volcano is replace by AQ Oak. Retail price wise, they are similar as well as their wire structure being all PSC+. AQ used to provide more details about their cables like AQ Volcano, but for some reason they stopped doing as such.

There is also, AQ Comet (almost same cost) but this one uses 1/4 silver PSS and 3/4 psc+.

I have a pair of AQ Volcano which is a much thicker cable compared to AQ Oak and AQ Meteor (that I use on my primary setup), perhaps because of its higher no.of RFI insulation layers.

hope that would help.
cheers.

Wire sizing, ie differing gauges and overall combined gauge looks the same as oak, good call michaelzay.  I had Oak with Colorados for quite a while and can say it certainly did NOT suck!

Many Thanks! guys-

I too like the Volcano, in that specific series, it looks like Pikes Peak is th top speaker cable.  Any recent iterations of this speaker cable series I should be aware (better)?

I had 3 pairs of Volcano at one point (shotgun bi-wire for my mains plus 1 pair for center channel). Volcano was a great speaker cable in so many ways,...

Yes, I like it as well- zephyr.

I wanted to learn about a better AQ speaker cable than the Volcano
(if it exists).
