Synergistic Atmosphere X Alive vs AQ Robin Hood Zero

I have been looking at both speaker cables for an upgrade from my AQ Rocket 44. 

So, for those with knowledge of both , does one of the two have a clear advantage over the other?

Please let me know.

@chaseton I owned the Rocket for a while and then switched to the SR. IMO there is something to be said for having a loom of cables from PC's, IC's, and SC's. I wound up getting the Powercell 8 UEF SE - Atmosphere X Alive PC's, IC'c and Speaker Cables and I'm very pleased with the "synergy" 😉

If you have the Rockets, the Robin Hood's will be a significant upgrade. Though I should ask what speakers are you using.

So, I have the Earth IC and they sound even better than the Water from the Elements series by AQ. Current setup is YBA int amp with $2k DAC & LSA 1 bookshelf speakers. Upgrading to Dali Epicon & either Mark Levinson 5805 or Krell K300i in the next couple of years. The new IC and SC will serve for now and the future upgrade in the years after.

 

The Earth IC were a revelation in terms of unlocking the true potential of the speakers. They are keepers. I have the Robin Hoods on the way, or so the seller on USAM has indicated. Fingers crossed all goes well.
