A great review of the PC-4 EVO+ conditioner, from Brazil
GigaWatt PC-4 EVO+ conditioner, has been tested by the Brazilian magazine “Audio Video Magazin” and received the highest rating in history – 111 points out of 112 possible. It was also awarded the highest honor: Estado Da Arte Superlativo!
“Of course, power conditioner of this class, is not intended for more modest systems (because its value can easily double the price of the system). However, in a high-end system, its use can take the entire system to another level.
Because what it does in terms of power cleanliness and protection, results in better performance of the entire system.
What caught my attention the most is that, intermittently (sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for hours) in various products under test one hears their transformers vibrate and cause a noise as a result of this vibration. In the period of almost 70 days when we had GigaWatt, this problem did not occur once. Zero transformer noise in all products connected to it. The manufacturer cites this as one of the great benefits of its conditioner, and I was able to really verify that it delivers what it promises.
As for the issue of macrodynamic compression, this was the first conditioner that managed, even in situations of enormous dynamic variation, not to cause any compression in the signal.
For those who live in places with enormous variation and power surges, and with all the consequences of a very dirty network, it will be worth listening to what GigaWatt can do for your system.
There are also more affordable models, like models PC-3 and PC-2, that can perfectly match a more modest budget.
I would say that GigaWatt has found its way, and it is certainly creating a new generation of conditioners that can do what others do so well, but without any of the side effects that many audiophiles complain about.
It is a product that, due to its qualities and benefits, is practically essential for those who want to get the most out of their systems!
