The original Mini Sub was launched in 2003 to universal acclaim, and its eventual replacement – the GII Mini Sub – was held in even greater esteem, earning no fewer than 9 awards from prestigious audio publications around the world. Late 2009 saw the launch of the next generation, building upon the success of its illustrious forebears and benefitting from IsoTek's continuous R\u0026amp;D programme to set another new performance benchmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the Mini Sub before it, Aquarius is a six-way mains conditioning component that sits squarely in the middle of IsoTek's range, above the likes of the entry-level Sirius and below the high-end Sigmas, Nova and Titan. It sports two high current outlets rated at 16 Amps and four medium current outlets rated a 5 Amps, all individually filtered and fully isolated from one another. The four medium current outlets feature IsoTek's Adaptive Gating technology – an auto-sensing filter stage that adapts to the current draw of the load, thus tailoring the filtering process to suit the component attached to each individual outlet. There is also a newly designed aluminium casing and host of enhancements under the lid, some trickled down from IsoTek's top-end components, others newly developed and made available for the first time in Aquarius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aquarius circuit is also configured to have equal resistance to the outlets. Known as K.E.R.P. (Kirchoff's Equal Path of Resistance), this engenders a pure, symmetrical signal path throughout the unit, without interference from one socket to the next, thus helping to deliver a more coherent sound. At the heart of Aquarius is an extremely high quality bespoke choke design, incorporating high purity magnetic material enabling increased frequency bandwidth. Lastly Aquarius delivers greater protection from spikes and surges, too, with a massive 67,500 Amps of instantaneous and repeatable protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEliminating Mains (AC Power) Noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mains noise can be broken down into two types, Differential and Common Mode. These two forms of mains pollution are not good for high-resolution audio replay. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDifferential is typically caused by switching, a light switch being turned on or turned off or through electronic switching for example power supplies, switch mode (Class D) being particularly noisy, and increasingly more prolific in our lives. Common Mode noise is created from a point source, typically a radio transmitter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCommon Mode and Differential Mode noise are complete opposites, yet they exist side by side as a general noise on the mains supply. Both types of noise arrive in the house via the live and neutral of the mains. Obviously elimination of this noise is essential for good sounding audio. However, it is vital that when removing this noise the transient performance of the amplifier is in no way compromised...and that's the goal of products like Aquarius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAquarius In The News\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Aquarius power conditioner takes IsoTek's ever popular GII Minisub (no longer made) and pimps things to the max. It features the companie's EVO3 technology, and auto-sensing filter that adapts to the current draw and divides between a pair of 16A sockets for power products and four 5A sockets for sources and preamps, all isolated from one another. Add a new choke for even greater power regulation and you have something that raises the game for hi-fi.\" Hi-Fi+ Magazine - This is a bi-monthly magazine that is serious about hi-fi, and is very much the audiophile enthusiasts' magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This product arrived just slightly too late for consideration for this year's awards. So think of this as a preview for the 2010 Awards, because a mains product really has to do something extremely special to beat the IsoTek Aquarius. The whole auditioning process took about 30 seconds. Play a piece of music on GII Mini Sub. Play it again on Aquarius and wonder why you were so attached to the GII Mini Sub...

And thus far pretty much every piece of gear I've evaluated has surprised me in some way—subtle and elusive at times, and others as obvious as a punch in the nose. The Aquarius was not quite a sock in the schnoz, but in terms of three-dimensional presentation, clean transients, plus its depiction of micro-dynamic and low-level information, it packed some real moves. All genres of music benefitted from the addition of the IsoTek Aquarius.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I'm aware that power conditioners may not be at the top of every audiophile's to-do list. But eventually, as one's vision of a high-end system comes together, affording a conditioner a comprehensive test drive is a logical and, I think, necessary step. And the good ones like IsoTek offer both protection and performance in various configurations at prices that won't blow a fuse.\" \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Absolute Sound Magazine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"main-features\"\u003eMain Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Description: Full component from component isolation with 'adaptive gating' to auto sense the load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e67,500 Amps of instantaneous repeatable protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 16 Amp thermo magnetically fused high current outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK.E.R.P.
