The Problem
In High End Audio, it has become increasingly evident to the widespread
community of enthusiasts that each and every component of a sound system
gives a certain touch of color to the overall sound. As a result, many
audiophiles have experimented much with mixing and matching components and
cables to achieve a mean sound that they deem most pleasurable. This school
of thought does not believe in any absolute desirability of sound
reproduction as compared to an original source and has formed tastes in
sound based not on a notion of reality, but on other esthetic contemplations
of their own.
Another school of thought exists in which it is the very absence of
coloration that is deemed most desireable. This is the school of thought to
which LessLoss adheres.
LessLoss has investigated metallurgical parameters of power cables and has
come to the conclusion that these indeed have the capacity to color the
sound brought forth from an audiophile sound system. Much time and effort
has been spent investigating these parameters and drawing conclusions which
are empirically repeatable. There is no known method of measuring these
sound quality aspects and therefore it is impossible to publish quantitative
data and to talk in numbers.
The Known Solutions
The two accepted solutions are (1) to use the purest possible metal to avoid
crystal boundaries and (2) to implement cryogenic processes which cause a
phase transformation of the crystal structure of the metal. These are
similar in nature to the possible combinations of Austenite, Bainite,
Cementite, Ferrite, Martensite, and Pearlite in steel. To varying degrees,
the utilization of cryogenic processes does bring forth a degree of
desirable musicality and 'liquidity' of sound preferred by audiophiles. However, to this day, the phase transformations of crystal structure are not entirely understood and cryogenic treatment of audio cables remains an object of ongoing speculation.
The LessLoss Solution
Having studied these methods, it was found that multiple cryogenic treatment
cycles resulted in ever better sonic results. Since no clear limit to this
effectiveness could readily be determined, it was therefore deemed
ineffective to use cryogenic processing as the sole means of processing high
performance power cables. Using electrical signal processing, running a
controlled adjustable current through the cables for long periods of time also raised the audible standards by a significant amount. But LessLoss
did not stop there, either. Further discoveries in metallurgical processing
possibilities have led to a proprietary method called FlowFluxTM.
FlowFluxTM takes the guesswork out of cryogenic metallurgical processing
and yields sonic results that surpass even the most costly and
time-consuming multiple cryogenic treatment cycles. The result of the
LessLoss proprietary FlowFluxTM processing is a metal with contantly
amorphous crystal structure, no memory, and a desirable resistance to noise
induction and propogation. It is this very effective proprietary process
which convinces many audiophiles to conclude that the LessLoss power cables
are sonically the most neutral available. LessLoss is at the very edge of
this State-of-the-Art and continues to push the threshold of attainable
quality further than ever before.
