PowerControl – HiFi Class review and recommendation
Summary
On the one hand, the GigaWatt PowerControl is a full-blooded power conditioner that will protect the components connected to it from surges, and overload, eliminate the DC component and ensure adequate current efficiency for almost any set of devices, including most amplifiers, one can throw at it. On the other hand, it will offer quite high fidelity to the recordings, which will be most obvious with all the audiophile releases, but when listening to the ones lacking a bit in terms of sound quality, it will still make listening to them enjoyable, focusing listener’s attention on music and emotions, and on the artistic value rather than on the sound as such.
GigaWatt PowerControl is a device (particularly with the standard power cable) that will rather wrap you with a rich, dense, but at the same time clean, fleshy, expressive, coherent, and fluid sound, than allow for studying the ‘errors’ made by performers or producers (although you can still hear these with it). So if you are interested in a presentation that focuses your attention more on the beautiful and emotional side of music then the new GigaWatt PowerControl may be what you are looking for. If you expect even higher fidelity to the recordings, buy it with one of the more expensive cables from the GigaWatt LS series and you should also be satisfied.
