Overview :
The new Gigawatt LC-3 EVO powercord is the latest High End Line powercord from Gigawatt. A new copper formula, now made from pure OFHC copper with even more copper as conductor. This new LC-3 Evo cable moves a considerable distance towards the Reference cables LS-1 Evo and LS-2 Evo. The LC-3 Evo is fully shielded with aluminum foil and equipped with superior connectors. We have not seen better connectors in this price range. This very high quality powercord is highly suitable for many audio and video components, and the Gigawatt Powerbars and Power conditioners also perform excellently with this cable. We believe the Gigawatt LC-3 Evo is the absolute reference powercord in its price range.

Technical :

A Powercord consists of a few essential components :

The Conductor(s)

The Dielectric or the layer around the conductors

The Connectors on both sides

As additional properties we also discuss for example :
Shielding

Nano Crystal filters

Special features such as Filters, Drivers, Power purification systems, Voodoo and other stuff that sometimes works but cannot be explained.

Gigawatt uses only pure quality in their products. The difference between all Gigawatt cables lies in the choice of materials, the amount of conducting 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 made up of 7 loose strands. With the LC-3 Evo, Gigawatt has for the first time chosen to replace solid-core cables with 7 slightly smaller solid-core cables. The LC-3 Evo is therefore much more flexible than its predecessor. They are also the latest OFHC cables. OFHC 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 over the entire length of the cable. This ground wire is connected at the Schuko connector, but not at the IEC connector. This is to prevent a ground loop. Each conductor is therefore 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 again 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 premium High End audio and video installations. The connecting plugs are completely new. The LC-3 MK3+ had the gold-plated connectors of the LC-2 MK3+. The new LC-3 Evo has completely new Rhodium plated connectors and these are even designed with a milled aluminum housing. These new connectors combined with the new copper formula and geometry provide a completely new sound level for your equipment.

Listening :

The Gigawatt LC-3 EVO is a cable that is very similar to the LS-1 Evo cable. The LC-3 Evo sounds more powerful and especially faster and quieter than its predecessor and it has a larger and better defined 3D image. The dynamics are outstanding, and not just the fine dynamics, even the large dynamic leaps are followed effortlessly. The bass reproduction is tighter, deeper, and better defined than before. The Gigawatt LC-3 Evo is the ideal entry cable into the Reference High End Audio world, and the sound difference with the standard included cables is enormous. The Gigawatt LC-3 Evo powercord is very suitable for all Reference Class High End Audio equipment due to its overall very high quality, both sources and power amplifiers.
