{"product_id":"isotek-evo3-initium-netzkabel","title":"IsoTek EVO3 Initium Power Cable (C13)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe IsoTek EVO3 Initium is IsoTek's entry-level power cable: the honest first step away from the black cable that came in the box – high-purity 6N-OFC copper, cleanly shielded, fairly priced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped on a simple principle: the best power cable for a modest budget. At its core sits the same 6N-OFC conductor (99.9999% oxygen-free copper) as the larger Premier – it just does without the silver plating, the more elaborate FEP dielectric and the 24-carat gold-plated connectors. That's exactly what keeps the price down without betraying the core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the EVO3 Initium?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the standard cable that comes in the box is usually the weakest link in the power chain. Conductors run in parallel with a slight twist ward off RFI and EMI interference, and effective shielding keeps common-mode noise out. That creates the foundation every further IsoTek component builds on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bit more calm, a bit more dynamics, a sound that feels less \"constricted\". No voodoo – just the audible result of clean conductor geometry and shielding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Initium suited for? (and who not – plain talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal first upgrade for source components – CD players, streamers, smaller turntables. \u003cstrong\u003ePlain talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e on a large, power-hungry power amp you'll get more out of a Premier, Sequel or Optimum. The Initium is the sensible entry point, not the flagship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best value in the IsoTek range and the most honest entry into clean power delivery. A sensible first upgrade for source components – and the base on which every further IsoTek component builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: power cable (entry-level class)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConductor: 6N OFC, 99.9999% oxygen-free copper, parallel with slight twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDielectric: polyethylene (PE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShielding: against RFI\/EMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectors: IsoTek audiophile connectors, wall side CH or EU (Schuko)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevice connector: IEC (link version C13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRating: 16 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLengths: 1.5 m \/ 3.0 m (link 0.5 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the EVO3 Initium and the EVO3 Premier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Initium uses the same 6N-OFC conductor as the Premier, but does without silver plating, FEP dielectric and 24-carat gold-plated connectors. That makes it significantly cheaper while remaining IsoTek's most honest entry-level cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich length and connector should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the wall plug that matches your socket (Switzerland or EU\/Schuko) and the length to suit your setup (1.5 m or 3.0 m). The link version (C13, 0.5 m) connects two IsoTek devices directly to each other – for example a power strip to a conditioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the IsoTek EVO3 Initium at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, high-end audio has been our everyday business since 1997 – we'll tell you honestly where a cable upgrade makes a difference and where your budget is better spent elsewhere.
