What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

Product Strengths

  • Improves subjective performance of almost any audio component connected to it, especially with source components, creating a dramatic uplift across a range of performance criteria
  • Noticeably improves spaciousness of the soundstage, cleans the top end, and reduces high-volume listening fatigue
  • Delivers a more refined-sounding system performance, majoring on a smoother top end, improved soundstaging and fatigue-free listening
  • Build quality is beyond reproach, crafted from chunky aluminum, Corian sandwich isolation, and high-grade connectivity terminals
  • The Super Titan provides clean high-current power, and the Genesis provides unrivaled regenerated mains current supply

Product Considerations

  • The performance upgrade is likely to be less marked if the existing mains supply is already of good quality
  • The blue color of the Genesis display is a different hue than the indicator LEDs on the Super Titan

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Genesis system had greater detail and sweeter HF extension than bi-amping with straight-out-of-the-wall mains

Takeaway: The IsoTek EVO3 Super Titan and Genesis combination can significantly improve an audio system's performance, especially with a poor mains supply, by delivering clean and stable power. It's a good way to get the best possible sound from high-end equipment.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • IsoTek products utilize a direct-coupled design philosophy that minimizes resistance and ensures the connected equipment receives a high-current power supply without limiting dynamics.
  • They are designed with independent power cleaning networks for each outlet, preventing cross-contamination of noise between connected components.
  • IsoTek equipment commonly incorporate KERP (Kirchhoff's Equal Resistance Path) to ensure each outlet delivers equal resistance and power.
  • The brand's units offer comprehensive surge protection, often exceeding 100,000A, safeguarding connected equipment from power spikes and surges.

Reviews
Stromtank is unique among power conditioner brands for completely disconnecting audio systems from the power grid and using lithium iron phosphate batteries to deliver pure sine wave power. Their battery management system, developed with the Fraunhofer Institute, actively monitors and balances cells while handling both front-end and power amplifier components, unlike typical power conditioners that only support low-power devices.

Our summary

Product Strengths

  • Improved speed stability of the Air Force Zero turntable during analog playback
  • Increased resolution, improved enunciation, increased dynamics, and rendered background sounds more intelligible
  • Helped clean up fracturing that could take place on some LPs when piano keys were vigorously struck in the treble region
  • Lowered the noise floor, enlarged the soundstage, increased the sense of black backgrounds, retrieved additional detail, and fortified dynamic swells
  • Amplified some of the inherent strengths of digital recordings, adding another level of finesse to the proceedings and intensifying tonal density

Product Considerations

  • Plugging in amplifiers led to a somewhat more subdued performance—a 'plusher ride'

Takeaway: The S-2500 delivers on its promise to improve stereo performance and bring the listener closer to the musical truth. It has many positive effects and no negative effects.
