Overview: The Gigawatt LC-3 EVO powercord is the predecessor of the PowerSync Ultra. With the transition to the PowerSync Ultra, only the name changed; the technology and copper formula, etc., have all remained the same. The LC-3 Evo cable moves quite close to the Reference cables LS-1 Evo and LS-2 Evo. The LC-3 Evo is fully shielded with aluminum foil and equipped with Rhodium connectors housed in an aluminum enclosure. This very high quality powercord is very suitable for all types of hi-fi and video components, including power distributors, power amplifiers, power plants, as well as streamers or phono preamplifiers perform excellently with this cable.

Technology: Gigawatt uses only pure quality in their products. The difference between all Gigawatt cables lies in the choice of materials, the amount of conductive material, the damping properties, and the shielding and possible application of Nano filters.

The Gigawatt LC-3 EVO consists of 8 pieces of 1.6mm2 cables, each of which consists of 7 individual strands. Gigawatt chose for the first time with the LC-3 Evo to replace the solid core cables with 7 slightly smaller solid core cables. This makes the LC-3 Evo much more flexible than its predecessor. They are also the latest OHFC cables. OHFC stands for Oxygen Free High Conductivity 99.997% copper. The Gigawatt LC-3 Evo powercord has 3 x Phase, 3 x Neutral, 2 x Ground, and 1 uninsulated tinned wire for contact with the shielding foil along the entire length of the cable. This ground wire is connected to the Schuko connector, but not to the IEC connector. This is to prevent a ground loop. Each conductor is 4.8mm2 in cross-section. The insulation of the LC-3 EVO is made of Polyethylene and the vibration damping layer is made of PVC. The LC-3 EVO powercord is fully shielded with aluminum foil. The 3 bundles are then combined in a PVC insulation jacket for stability and vibration damping. The very low impedance of the cable makes the LC-3 EVO suitable for the better High End audio and video installations.

Listening: The Gigawatt LC-3 EVO is a cable that delivers extremely good performance in its price class. The LC-3 Evo sounds more spacious, more detailed, and quieter than its predecessor, and it has a larger and better-defined 3D image. The dynamics are superb, and not only the fine dynamics, but also the large dynamic jumps are followed effortlessly. The bass reproduction is tighter, deeper, and better defined than before.
