OVERVIEW

Cables informed by deep AC power expertise

There are dozens of companies out there making high-performance power cables, but few possess the deep understanding of AC power that IsoTek has developed over the years. The company's power conditioners and power cables use high-quality materials and construction throughout to maximize current flow and minimize noise.

KEEP READING

Cables informed by deep AC power expertise

EVO3 Elite is a true high-end power cable that uses unique 7-core geometry to aid in power delivery, and 99.9999% oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors that are plated with silver for improved conductivity. The conductors are in a parallel construction with a slight rotational twist which provides the first line of defense against radio frequency (RFI) and electromagnetic (EMI) interference.

Elite makes an ideal upgrade for high-end source components, CD players, music servers, DACs or preamplifiers. Elite can also work well with small to medium-sized power amplifiers, but for very large power amps, IsoTek recommends their EVO3 Optimum. Expect to hear a lowered noise floor, greater bass extension, and a bigger soundstage.

Where to start when upgrading power cords

The EVO3 Elite works with most components that have a detachable, three-pole IEC power cord. Some devices respond more noticeably than others to a better power cable. Opinions vary, but here's how I would prioritize upgrading your power cords:

source (CD player, DAC, phono preamp)
power amplifier, powered speakers
preamp or A/V pre-pro, power conditioner
powered subwoofer

Features

Overview: IsoTek EVO3 Elite power cables are designed to replace the cheap power cables that are included in the box of most audio/video components. Elite power cables use a unique 7-core geometry, and high quality materials to deliver outstanding performance with a dramatic reduction of noise. These cables are recommended for CD players, music servers, preamps, DACs, small to medium power amplifiers, and many other home electronics. This EVO3 Elite power cable is 2.0 meters (6'-7") in length, with a standard US 3-pin plug and an IEC C-15 connector.

Construction: EVO3 Elite power cables feature seven parallel conductors that are precisely wound inside the jacket with a slight rotational twist to reject RFI and EMI noise. The individual parts of the cable include:

Conductors: The seven conductors (6 x 1.25sqmm + 1 x 3.75sqmm) are made of silver-plated, 99.999999% OFC (oxygen-free copper) to provide exceptional conductivity.
Dielectric: Each conductor has a Teflon FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) dialectric. This chemically inert insulation provides an excellent shielding over a wide frequency range. FEP is low in friction, but highly resistant to cracks due to stress, making it a safe insulation from temperature extremes.
Filler: Spaces around the conductors are filled with multi-strand cotton, which gives the cable internal strength. It also provides additional insulation, and reduces contact noise that may introduce unwanted electrical noise.
Wrap: The seven conductors are wrapped with mylar prior to applying the outer jacket. The mylar wrap and cotton filler secure the construction, and form a barrier shield with the PVC jacket to maintain the cable's exceptional dielectric properties.
Shield: An earthed OFC braided shield provides maximum rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI), and prevents Common Mode noise from effecting the live and neutral conductors.
Jacket: The highly flexible PVC outer jacket makes the cable easier to handle, and provides additional strength.
Terminals: IsoTek power cables are terminated with audiophile-grade molded connectors with solid OFC (99.98% copper) and 24ct gold-plated conductors. Gold-plated conductors provide a high level of conductivity, and are less likely to tarnish over time.
