LessLoss Solution

Design Philosophy: Works, because the problem is accurately understood

The cable is to have minimal resistance for the power to be instantaneously available. Some power cable manufacturers mention the speed of their cable as a procentage of light speed. For engineers with formal education, this is funny. The formal unit for this measurement is the cable's resistivity per unit length. An increase of this parameter is an indication of loss incurred. We want to achieve a high conductivity, but we do not want to aid the propogation of induced high frequencies into our gear.

We want to inhibit their propogation completely. In other words, the problem is thus reduced to a very simple dilemma: when raising the conductivity of the power carrying cable, we must be able to do so without raising the conductivity of radio frequencies as well. We must find a way to separate the effectiveness of the cable into low and high frequency performance categories. The low frequencies must experience no resistivity, and the high frequencies must experience complete attenuation.

The LessLoss Solution

This is where the skin effect comes in handy. We utilize very much metal for our conductors. This provides our cable with low resistance. The conductivity of the cable is extremely high with a metal cross sectional area of 4.72 mm2 per conductor, of which there are three in each cable. The power frequency is 50 or 60Hz. As this frequency is low, the very large diameter of the wire represents no loss, since such a low frequency is not affected by any skin effect current concentration. However, the higher frequencies, which we want to filter out, remain at the skin. And it is precisely here where it is possible for us to filter only the undesired electromagnetic fluctuations while leaving the 50 or 60Hz energy cycle completely alone. The attenuation of this low frequency does not even take place. In fact, the porous conductive material mated to the skin of the cable actually enlarges the effective cross sectional area of one conductor assembly to a whopping 6 mm2, bringing the entire cross-sectional area of this three-wire cable to 18 mm2. This is between 5 and 4 awg.

How It Works

The LessLoss Dynamic Filtering Power Cable works by utilizing the known electromagnetic property called the skin effect. It is known that the higher the frequency, the closer to the outer surface of the conductor this frequency will propagate. Electromagnetic interference is high frequency radiation at all possible bandwidths. When interference is induced and then carried by the conductors of a power cord, it enters the gear via the contacts of the power input socket. The LessLoss Dynamic Filtering Power Cable radically inhibits the frequency bandwidths of current associated with high frequency interference and noise, resulting in a much more relaxed and quiet background when listening to audio, and a calmer and more focussed image with more vibrant true color when watching video.

Why It Works

Traditional power filters using coils and capacitors cannot block the multi-Gigahertz range as effectively, since electromagnetic wave behavior at this range is unpredictable and more highly reflective in nature. It can travel through the capacitance of a coil and of a capacitor. This high energy nature of low-level noise is very effectively dealt with by the LessLoss Dynamic Filtering Power Cable, and the results are immediately obvious and appreciated by audiophiles, as well as by those who are not necessarily gifted with "golden ears".
