IsoTek EVO3 Super Nova Mains Conditioner (8-Way)

The IsoTek EVO3 Super Nova is a passive mains conditioner for source devices: the most sophisticated front-end power cleaning system IsoTek has ever built – with eight completely independent outlets.

The Super Nova is the source counterpart to the Super Titan in IsoTek's Ultimate series. Instead of high current for power amps, it delivers uncompromisingly clean power for components with constant current demand – CD player, streamer, DAC, preamp and phono stages.

Why the EVO3 Super Nova?

Eight independent outlets, each with its own filter network – no outlet is connected to the next. This means differential-mode interference, which your devices generate themselves, can't contaminate one another. Add KERP for equal power delivery at all sockets, a fully star-earthed network and RFI reduction of up to 80 dB. Surge protection is sized at 900,000 A across all outlets combined, so the neighbourhood is more likely to lose power than your system.

What you hear

When your sources run on truly clean power, the soundstage opens up: more depth, sharper imaging, finer resolution and a silence between the notes that lets the music really come forward.

Who is the Super Nova for? (and who it's not for — straight talk)

For high-end chains with several high-quality source devices that all deserve first-class power. Straight talk: for power amps it's the wrong tool – they need the high-current outlets of the Super Titan. And if you only run two or three sources, an EVO3 Sigmas gets you there for less.

Our verdict

The source conditioner for anyone unwilling to compromise on the front-end. Eight independent, star-earthed outlets squeeze the last bit of calm and resolution out of CD player, streamer and preamp. Combined with a Super Titan, IsoTek's most uncompromising passive mains system.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the EVO3 Super Nova and the EVO3 Nova?

The Super Nova is the uncompromising Ultimate-tier stage with eight outlets, ISIS resonance control and higher filter quality, exclusively for source devices. The Nova is the more versatile 12-way all-in-one solution with additional high-current outlets.

Can I also connect a power amp to the Super Nova?

It's not designed for that. The Super Nova is optimized for source devices with constant current demand – CD player, streamer, DAC, preamp and phono stages. For power amps with high impulse current demand, the Super Titan is the right partner.
