Dear Friends,

Two new reviews of LessLoss products have been posted recently.

Dear Friends,

In all the excitement, I made the mistake of omitting one very important feature to our listening room! The LessLoss Blackbody, of course!

Dear Friends,

LessLoss Audio is showing at RMAF 2010 in Denver, Colorado! Show dates are October 15-17.

www.audiofest.net

The LessLoss room is Room: 437

We are featuring FOUR World Premiers in one room!

We are preparing the sound of a lifetime! Please, come visit and enjoy red-book CD sound as it was (probably) never heard before!

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to announce our new US dealer for LessLoss Audio products, A/V Solutions.

A/V Solutions is located in Pleasanton, California, and is owned by Jeff Whitlock.

Dear audiophiles,

The Blackbody has been reviewed by Russell Lichter of Stereo Times:

We have some pictures of the new Firewall for you. First of all, we'd like to show you some computer renditions of how the design will approximately look.

Dear supporters,

Two new incredibly high quality recordings have been added to the LessLoss.com downloads section. All for free.

Although there were still some slight technical difficulties (some low-level interference at times in one channel), which you will have no problems forgiving us for, you will be hearing possibly the very top level quality recordings ever made!

Dear friends,

I am happy to announce Srajan Ebaen's review of the Blackbodys. He attached it to the end of Marja & Henk's review on 6moons.

Hello, friends,

All our music files are now free to download. Come and get them here.

Dear audiophile friends,

Since the release of the Blackbody, many have pre-ordered the device at considerable rebate. I am happy to say that almost all clients who have pre-ordered have now been served. It is heart-warming to hear your positive feedback and support. Thank you all for that! I am also thankful for your uploaded comments on the forums or on our website. (I don't know why Audiogon deletes some of these... there must be more about it than we know, or something...) A special thanks to those of you who are already placing repeat orders. Your support is highly appreciated and your systems' sound is going to really shine!

It seems that some people have accepted the Blackbody's ideas of operation as mysticism, when in fact it is not mysticism at all, but the fruit of some very consequent thought on electrodynamic interaction. It seems my initial explanations were not clear enough for the general public, and so it is up to us to do better. We have now uploaded a new web page of technical information which explains the operating principle of the Blackbody.

Dear friends,

Let me tell you a little bit about my thinking (other than what is already published on LessLoss.com). Audiophile culture is interesting because of its initiatory aspect. Most of what I believe is learned through audiophile culture is a step-by-step exclusion of presumptions; a school of becoming humble in this screaming-for-attention world of ours. The opposite of audiophile culture would be the mass-production culture of big business. This is not to say that there can't be mass-produced audiophile products. But it is the small guy who works his head off for that last little tiny bit of quality who really drives audiophile culture forward.

A couple of days ago we've been featured on Gizmodo.com and Engadget.com. This is interesting because normally those huge industry funnels do not even portray an interest in true audiophile culture by small companies. Yes, the bold design caught their attention, but also our, what seemed to them, bold wording. However, audiophiles who are initiated do not consider anything bold wording because they desire to experience for themselves. It seems to me today that audiophile culture is more about the joy of direct experience than anything else. Reviews are great to get to know things in a roundabout way, but that's about it. The main thing we as audiophiles are interested in is not looking like the next guy who also has such and such piece of cool new gear. And for this reason, it is a highly personal matter, an intimate discourse within and with ourselves about our own feelings about our goals and progress. Are we going forward? What am I hearing? What is the reason? Is it me? Emotion is part of me, but I am not a slave of it. I don't deny it, yet I partake in it in my evaluation. These constant questions we audiophiles have in our heads are the driving force of this interest in good sound, and it does lead to places.

Dear friends,

It is my great pleasure to present to you the all-new Blackbody!

The Blackbody is our new accessory for the high end audio world, helping us achieve a new, broader horizon of achievable quality.

Its functionality is highly effective regardless of whether you use digital or analogue. On speakers or on electronics. Regardless even of the power filtering method or cabling.

It works in a unique way, opening the door to an entirely new way of looking at electromagnetic interaction, a way which is not covered or addressed by even the wildest audiophile feet, equipment stands, or power filters.

Dear audiophile fans,

I am happy to announce that credit card payment functionality on LessLoss.com is now up and running! You are now welcome to initiate orders and place payment by credit card.

Regarding the Blackbody: we are currently running a couple of first prototypes of production units. There are plenty of meticulous design elements to take care of, so teaching our production partners about them requires their learning new concepts. Stay tuned for more news as we continue to progress with this fascinating project. We will try to provide pictures as soon as possible.

Dear friends of good sound,

On behalf of LessLoss, I am very pleased to announce the release of our flagship power cable, named the DFPC Signature. In it, we have been able to make considerable advances in sound quality based on new methods of design learned from the development of the Firewall and Blackbody.

I will be glad to offer our valued clients special pricing when upgrading from the DFPC Original.

See it here:

Dear friends of quality sound,

Two new things are up on the LessLoss website:

First, a FREE high quality LessLoss recording of a grand piano being played by a child prodigy in what I would call "A Fresh Look at Bach". I even recorded segments of the tuning process. Have you heard a Steinway being tuned on your stereo?

http://www.lessloss.com/a-fresh-look-at-bach-p-198.html

Next, after much deliberation about the best way to introduce this unique and highly promising new product here at LessLoss, I now present to you the web-ready presentation of our pending Blackbody.

Dear fans of great music, and great recordings,

I am happy to announce the completion of two LessLoss Bach Sonata recordings for flute and basso continuo. Flute and harpsichord as well as bassoon playing the basso continuo line were recorded using the best hand made recording gear LessLoss has achieved to date.

It's a great musical collaboration of three energetic young musicians, recorded in Basel's wonderful acoustics of St. Martin's Church in the Old Town. The best, most detailed and least distorted sound is made available on the 24 bit / 96 kHz version, now available for download. Demo sections are available in MP3 format. CD versions are also available if you don't want to bother converting the 24/96 versions yourself. Believe me, even this seemingly simple mathematical task is a musical art in and of itself.

I am very happy to have had the opportunity to record harpsichord. Due to its somewhat "obnoxious" harmonic content, this instrument really reveals any and all high frequency distortion, and I'm certain that this recording represents some of the cleanest high frequency source material you will have ever heard, whether you are an enthusiast audiophile or professional working in the field of recording.

Dear audiophile friends,

LessLoss now offers the DFPC Mini in the European Schuko version. The price is the same as that of the USA/Japan version. Other than the Schuko connector, which is the Oyaide 029, the USA and Schuko versions of the DFPC Mini are identical in design.

Also, LessLoss is scheduled to record an ensemble of Flute, Bassoon and Harpsichord in Basel, Switzerland at the end of February, 2009. This recording shall be made public online on the LessLoss web shop. We are happy to announce that the audio quality shall be even better than the current recording online of solo Flute, using the very latest technologies that LessLoss is further perfecting. Among these is implementation of the Firewall, Blackbody prototypes, as well as future ionic stabilization technologies.

I am pleased to announce that the first press review of the LessLoss Firewall is due to appear in the upcoming issue of the print-only audiophile journal "Bound for Sound" next week.

Dear friends of high quality sound,

It is a pleasure to announce our present lowered prices for both the DFPC and the DFPC (mini). Please visit our web store and configure your cable purchase to see the exact amount applicable to your purchase. Please note that for the DFPC, the generous rebate schedule for multiple cable purchases is still valid, regardless of the fact that the initial pricing has been lowered by a substantial amount. I hope to fulfill your order in the near future!

Dear audiophile friends,

I am pleased to announce the pending release of the LessLoss Firewall. Please visit our website to read about its development and a little bit about how it works.

The LessLoss digital source system was presented in our large 180 square meter showroom at the 2008 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver, Colorado.

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for your business with LessLoss. It has been a great joy to develop and offer this hand-made power cord for people who are open to try something new and place their trust in what little information they could find about this unique product. I am deeply grateful to you for your support and wish you many years of enjoyment with your new sound. The organic nature of music and the relaxation we all want while enjoying our sound remains paramount to the effort that LessLoss puts into all product development. This is more than dedication to a management philosophy. This is devotion to the very striving which all audiophile culture is about. It is a joy to see such positive feedback as has recently appeared on AudiogoN.
