The LessLoss Blackbody is granted the 2010 Most Wanted Component Award from Stereo Times (Russell Lichter, Clement Perry, Moreno Mitchell).

"...felt more like actually "being at the performance," presenting greater image clarity and specificity."

"...able to easily picture the space in which the musicians played, that is, there was greater ambient retrieval."

"...a sense of actually "being there.""

"Nor did she have to struggle with the comparison by having me swap cables repeatedly back and forth: the differences were immediately obvious. Nothing subtle about it!"

"In hindsight it is quite shocking to fully appreciate how most if not all of our audio gear can be enhanced by addressing (minimizing or eliminating) its EMI radiation."

"The results are a surprisingly lower noise floor. Increased resolution and three-dimensionality while overtones appear more authentic and natural."

"Highly recommended."

"The extended dynamics, the lowered noisefloor, the musicality and the ability to bring the musicians into the room."

"LessLoss cables lifted the musical interpretation for me made me better get into the music and I dare to say Bach's Mattheus Passion never brought me to tears in such a way as on that evening with La Petite Bande and the LessLoss DFPC."

"In a good high res system, this is definitely the cable to go for. It will almost literally blow your mind."

The original Dutch version is here.

"The DFPC Signature added more fullness and a level of resolution and detail the two others couldn't match."

"We believe that LessLoss DFPC Signature power cable can provide an enhancement just like a component change in your hifi system."

"LessLoss attacks environmental noise riding on power cables in a very special way."

"Bass was sumptuous, the midrange delicate and the treble airy and fast. There was absolutely nothing wrong with their performance in our system."

"...pulls you deeper into the performance and only lets go when the CD is stopped or the needle hits the final groove."

"Soundstage depth improved and performers became more palpable, creating a greater sense of realism. A very natural sense of weight and body appeared where none previously existed."

"After a lot of listening and thought, there are three things that the Blackbody does. First, it adds a significant amount of spatial cues. Second, it somehow allows you to clearly hear every instrument in detail without sounding analytical and ruining the "wholeness" of the overall performance or changing the balance of the musical presentation. Third, it adds a natural sense of body and weight to instruments without affecting pace or timing. These things may not sound like much, but once I dialed in the best positioning of the Blackbodies the effect was quite pronounced, and repeatedly confirmed by several different listeners in my main listening room."

"I heard: (a) more nuance from the instruments, (b) more clarification of the performance venue, and (c) clearer performer placement on the soundstage."

"I will tell you right now that LessLoss's claims about the audible effects of the Blackbody are absolutely true."

"...when I look for a snappy description of the changes I heard when the Blackbodies were put in place, I'm apt to say something like, It's as if I have a new pair of loudspeakers."

"I continually find myself stopping in my tracks, noticing nuances and details and ambiance I don't recall, basking in a sense of presence and spaciousness that is delightful and surprising. There is a crystalline clarity about the highs, and bass feels more accurate and substantial. Listening is relaxed and easy, never fatiguing, and very satisfying. Clarity, clarity, clarity. Transient attacks to die for."

"Listen to the hammers strike the piano strings, felt covered wood hammers hitting metal strings, clear as a bell. Listen to the tactility ofrosin-covered horse hair drawing across the 'cello strings. Listen to the rich, clear layering of overtones in a singer's voice. It's enough to give one goose bumps at times."

"As a reviewer I spend time listening to equipment, but when equipment does its job this well, it transcends itself, it becomes a clear vessel for the music, a doorway to the heart and soul of the composer and performer. I have always considered the real purpose of all art to be delight, and I think never before has this stereo so fulfilled that purpose."
