Description
IsoTek Sequel
The IsoTek Sequel comes in a standard length of 2m, compared to the Premier’s 1.5m. Like the Premier, it uses silver-plated oxygen-free copper conductors twisted together to aid EMI/RFI rejection, but in the Sequel the conductor geometry is improved with optimised thickness of the individual strands. The Sequel also incorporates more advanced ‘active’ shielding under its PVC outer sheath, to the same standard used in other, more costly IsoTek power cables.
Design
CONSTRUCTION: The conductors are in a parallel construction with slight rotational twist. This established technique remainsthe first line of defense against RFI and EMI rejection.
A) Conductors: Silver plated 99.9999% OFC conductors offer an exceptional level of purity with enhanced conductivity. They are less likely to fracture or degrade over time. Silver is an excellent conductor and when combined with a high purity copper provides impressive electrical properties.
B) Dielectric: Teflon FEP dielectric (insulation) is chemically inert and has a very low dielectric constant over a wide frequency range. FEP possesses a very high degree of stress crack resistance and a low coefficient of friction making it an exceptional dielectric. FEP is the first choice for safety in both temperature and electrical insulation.
C) Filler: Cotton filler has been used to give the cable internal strength and reduce microphony. Cotton also possesses excellent dielectric properties, the best of a solid material.
D) Wrap: A mylar wrap is used to secure the construction and offer a barrier shield prior to the application of a flexible PVC jacket. The addition of the mylar and cotton form a buffer with the PVC so as to maintain exceptional dielectric properties.
E) Shield: An earthed OFC shield insures maximum RFI rejection, thus preventing Common Mode noise effecting the live and neutral conductors.
E) Jacket: PVC is used as an outer jacket to give a high degree of flexibility and mechanical strength.
TERMINATION: Sequel cable is terminated using IsoTek’s bespoke Audiophile grade moulded connectors of solid OFC with 24ct gold plated conductors. These offer the highest quality performance and are less prone to tarnish.

Absolutely Outstanding:
IsoTek EVO3 Sequel Mains Cable – It is the Main cable of choice for me!
This I plug into my IsoTek Evo3 Polaris Power Board.
It totally brought back into the sound system warmth and feel!
Hearing “Comfortably Numb” played via the tuner it gave heaps more definition in the musical score of orchestration (As in appreciation of string section).
Upon listening to the TV, I noticed that the presenter’s diction/pronunciation was a lot clearer. (In particular vowels embraced you).
I also utilise IsoTek Evo3 Initium Cables to connect to all my componentry.
