Overview :

The new Gigawatt LS series cables are the hand-built Reference Powercords from Gigawatt. Hand-built means these don't come off a roll. Conductor by conductor, this cable is assembled. The carefully manufactured wires (Silver-plated OFHC) are inserted one by one into Teflon sleeves. The LS-1 MK3 powercord is fully shielded and equipped with the finest High End Rhodium connectors. This ultra high quality powercord is highly suitable for the top of High End Audio applications and the Gigawatt Powercords and Power conditioners also perform excellently with this cable.

Technology :

A Powercord consists of a few essential components :

1. The Conductor(s)
2. The Dielectric, which is the layer around the conductors
3. The Connectors on both sides
   

As additional features we also mention things like :

1. Shielding
2. Nano Crystal filters
3. Special features such as Filters, Boosters, Power purifiers, 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 conductive material, the damping properties and the shielding and possible application of Nano filters.

The Gigawatt LS-1 MK3 consists of 8 solid core pure OFHC copper cables which are precisely silver-plated. OFHC stands for Oxygen Free High Conductivity 99.997% copper. The Gigawatt LS-1 MK3 powercord contains 3 x Phase, 3 x Neutral, 1 x Ground and 1 uninsulated tinned copper wire. This latter one is for contact with the shielding foil along the entire length of the cable. The shielding foil on the LS-1 MK3 is a tinned copper foil. This ground wire is connected to the Shuko connector, but not to the IEC connector. This is to prevent a ground loop. Each conductor is 1.5mm2 in cross-section. The insulation of the LS-1 MK3 is made of Teflon and the vibration damping layer is made of PVC. An anti-static layer has also been applied. The LS-1 MK3 powercord is fully shielded with tinned copper foil. The 3 + 3 + 2 bundles in Teflon are again wrapped in a PVC insulation jacket for stability and vibration damping. The ultra low impedance of the cable makes the LS-1 MK3 suitable for the finest High End audio systems. The connectors are the Gigawatt G-010R and G-030R connectors, made from pure OFC copper and protected with a Rhodium coating layer. These connectors have a different connection method that grips even better. Furthermore, the Gigawatt LS-1 MK3 cable has a Nano Crystal Alloy filter, which prevents the transmission of EMI and RFI pollution.

Sound :

The Gigawatt LS-1 MK3 is a true reference powercord. The LS-1 MK3 cable sounds very powerful and open. As if you have received 20 volts more voltage. The level of refinement is very high. You hear details you have never heard before, and the ease with which this happens is truly remarkable. The 3D image is larger than ever, and the music simply flows from your system. The LS-1 MK3 cable is suitable for all equipment, both digital and analog. Even heavy power amplifiers benefit optimally from this cable. The Rhodium connectors also make the cable sound even faster than the versions with gold-plated and nickel-plated connectors. We use this cable in our Studio 1 as the main powercord for all our demonstrations. A top cable!
