Length vs. Sound

It is true that the longer lengths of the DFPC sound just a little bit better than the shorter lengths, but only by a very small degree. For example, changing only one of the connectors on the DFPC to any other type makes a much larger and more noticeable difference in sound than the tiny difference which is perceivable in length differences. The pricing of the LessLoss DFPC is the same for any length up to 2m. 2.5 and 3m have extra charges associated with them. However, the difference in sound quality due to the length alone (which is very small) will not justify purchasing the longer lengths based soley on pursuit of better sound. It is our recommendation to purchase whatever is best fitting in your system. The LL DFPC is very flexible and will pose no problems in installation, which is a known factor to be difficult with some other after market power cords. The LessLoss solution does not fear bending and so a 2m length is easy to install even if you might not need the entire 2m of length in your application.

The reason that the longer lengths sound slightly better is twofold. For one, more skin is present and as this is the crux of our technology, the filtering will be better. However, the net amount of metal is also increased, which is another aspect of design which is also audible in our solution. So the net effect is twofold -- the dynamics as well as the filtering are slightly better with a longer LessLoss DFPC.

In order to be complete, we think it is important to also state that putting a LL DFPC of 3m on one component (say, the DAC) and comparing that to, say, two units of LL DFPC of 1.5 meters each, one powering the DAC and the other the amp, the system with the two 1.5 meter cables will sound much more obviously better than the one with only one DFPC of 3m length. This is said to provide you with a proportionate understanding of the improvement of the sound regarding the length. The more components which receive power from the LL DFPC, the better the sound very truly noticeably, whereas the addition of extra length of only one DFPC results in but a very minor improvement in sound. Indeed, it is possible for even the best listeners to mix up the lengths in a blind testing, whereas it is impossible to mix up the fact that one or two LL DFPC's are powering the system, even if these are much shorter.

We offer a generous rebate schedule on our cables for multiple cable orders shipping to the same address. The net effect is undoubtedly superior and does not begin to color the sound.
