Isotek V5 Gemini 2-way Power Cleaning and Distribution Board Review
Isotek V5 Gemini - Precision Power Cleaning in a Compact Package
Welcome to our in-depth Isotek - V5 Gemini 2-way Power Cleaning and Distribution Board Review, where we explore how this compact, award-winning EVO3 Polaris successor elevates the audiophile experience to new heights. Special-order only and meticulously engineered, the V5 Gemini is a premium solution for discerning listeners seeking pristine mains power for two key components in their hi-fi or A/V system.
Refined Power Cleaning and Distribution
The V5 Gemini introduces a dual-outlet design, each rated at 10A and serviced by independent filter networks to eradicate Differential Mode cross-contamination. IsoTek’s advanced filtering delivers an astonishing 35dB reduction in RFI, while centralised sine wave correction maintains a rock-solid 50/60Hz waveform from a low-impedance star-earthed supply. The result is an utterly silent noise floor, allowing subtle micro-dynamics and tonal nuances to emerge with clarity.
Exotic Internal Construction
Within its sleek chassis, the Gemini employs multi-strand 6N OFC conductors silver-plated for ultimate conductivity, insulated by FEP dielectric or IsoTek’s patented Virtual Dielectric of Air (VDA). Tin-plated PCBs with eight times standard copper gauge ensure minimal DCR and robust current delivery, while the System Link outlet preserves star-earth integrity across an extended power chain—ideal for linking with other IsoTek power conditioners.

Surge Protection That Respects Sound Quality
Guardian VDR arrays in the V5 Gemini react within microseconds to line spikes up to 45,000A, cascading protection levels while seamlessly preserving audio integrity. Unlike typical surge arrestors, IsoTek’s design assists filtering at the first stage, ensuring transients are neutralised without colouring the signal or diminishing dynamic range.
Audible Benefits for Your System
Lower noise floor: Uncovered micro-detail and improved imaging
Enhanced dynamics: Punchier transients and bass articulation
Reliable performance: Stable voltage under varying load conditions
Scalable: System Link outlet for future expansion
Integrate the Gemini into your audio or AV system
Who Should Consider the V5 Gemini?
If you run a concise two-box hi-fi or audio-visual rig—be it a preamp and power amp, streamer and DAC, or amplifier paired with an HT processor—the V5 Gemini is a cost-effective intuitively designed upgrade. Audiophiles demanding surgical detail, extended soundstaging and rock-solid power management will find this unit indispensable. For those planning to grow their system, the System Link feature facilitates a future-proof, star-earthed chain of IsoTek conditioners.
