What do you think about Audioquest Volcano?

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.

Update midsummer 2008
I upgraded my AQ Columbia 72V DBS to a Niagara 72V DBS.
i was shocked what happened, the sound was terible, harsh.
and i was not possible to listen to a little louder music.
same as i expirenced before with VD Hul the Jubilee Hybrid
BUT ..... after about a week (cd player has been on repeat all day for that week)everything changed. depth was getting better and better, harshness started to disappear. after 3 weeks the sound was perfect. the details, the with and depth of the soundstage, control of lower freqs. mid and high made me a very happy listener. replayed almost all my CD`s. only disavantage is dat i have to change all my (safety) copies to originals because now its so clear that a copy is not as good as a original cd, it misses a lot of soundstage and detail.
Now also upgrade the Audioquest Vulcano`s to 144V DBS, it took about 2 weeks for the DBS to fully kick in. but i can recomand it to everybody.

and the journey continues.
