Ac power is supplied through a Shunyata SR-Z1 duplex outlet through a Shunyata Viper power cord to a Shunyata Guardian 2. This feeds an Arcam AVR350 through it's stock power cord. The AVR350 is set for bi-amplification delivering 125 watts to the tweeter, and 125 watts to the woofer of each speaker. Speaker wire is shielded, teflon coated, silver/copper alloy wire with Rhodium spades. Speakers are Proac D15s. All contacts are doped with Walker Audio e-sst. The source is optical output from an Asus motherboard that kernal streams to the Arcam. The optical connection is a 20' length of inexpensive plastic cable. The player used is Foobar2000. When streaming from Bluebeat.com, in 320kbps, ASIO4all.exe is used to bypass windows volume control and kernal stream directly to the Arcam. Now for the esoteric section! The Arcam stand is a solid myrtle wood apothecary with a 1 cubic foot of open space designed to absorb unwanted vibrations based on the Golden mean ratio. It's drawers are filled with sand, lead shot and carbon fiber filaments. The cut glass window above the Arcam is crystal held together with lead beading. It's matrix pattern, replicated from the interior of the now famous B&W 800, absorbs high frequencies to take the edge off the compressed format of the streaming music. Heee heee. The first paragraph is all true though. Review of the LessLoss DFPCs I've been listening to Louis's cords for just under a week. They arrived across country from [the gentleman before me on the list] well packaged, thank you. Unpacking them, I found them to be surprisingly light and flexible. My spouse was listening to the stereo using Slacker- a streaming radio station much like Pandora but with better sound. (Slacker uses radio station DJ's to select their genre categories instead of an algorithm like Pandora's) This is a very grainy source of music and perfect for testing the expressed virtues of the LESSLOSS cable. The system, in order of stream, consists of 20' of cryogenically treated romex into a furutech outlet, all connections are treated with Roy's supersilver conducting paste, even the circuit breaker. A Virtual Dymanics Nite power cord reaches from the outlet to an Arcam AVR350, at the inlet it is covered in a 2" sleeve of ARC technologies Wave-X heat shrink wrap. The source is a basic PC computer feed with power filtered through an old 500 watt noise trapper. Code is output optically from the motherboard via SuperNova glass cable to the Arcam. Speakers are Proac D15's bi-wired from the Arcam, each tweeter and mid having it's own 125 watt amp. The LessLoss sound: I tried the mid range cable first and noticed some improvement. The treble was less grainy, bass was tighter, and background more black. The soundstage was a bit wider. Most notably, the sound was slightly warmer and more laid back. High mid and treble less forward. I switched the cable back to the Virtual Dynamic Nite- The Nite had a bit more punch and speed, but was also forward and more etched. I then switched to the mini- Less Loss's low end cable. It was unremarkable in it's difference from the VD Nite- a used powercord I found on Agon for about $170. There were differences, but they were slight trade offs. Finally, I plugged in the DFPC Signature cable. This cable really does reduce jitter. The whole sound system eased into clarity like a camera lens pulling into focus. The cable made my system very laid back, smooth and non-fatiguing. There was a soft almost sleepy ease about it. I felt it was slightly slower than the Nite, had less punch that the Nite, but it imparted a very enjoyable, soft, velvety quality to the music. The level of change was on the scale of a good equipment upgrade. So, even on a rather low end system, like my solid state integrated ARCAM, the mid and high end LessLoss cables made a difference. Are they worth it?? I think yes, if you have the disposable income, and you would like more air and smoothness in your sound, you should give these an audition. Nice work Louis DFPC Series [Original]Date Added: 12/16/2009

I am french and have a very high quality system, and am always interested in any possibility of bettering it. I read what LessLoss has done in the USA with the LessLoss tour and wonder if you will do the same for Europe, especially France. I am interested in the LessLoss Signature and the Firewall. First, a view of my living room and of my system. You can see the rack from Finite élément, the mono block amp from Halcro, preamp also from Halcro. Vinyl system: Micro Seiki turntable, SME 5 arm, Koetsu Onyx Platinum cartridge, Mexcel cable to preamp. CD system: Esoteric P-03, D-03 and a Grimm Audio Clock. Every component powered by a Dart Zell Filter power cable; AES XLR by Mexcel Esoteric; Power for Halcro amp and preamp by a Furutech power cable to a Furutech power distributor. The power cable to preamp is Mexcel; power to amp: Furutech. Interconnect and speaker cables come from Audioquest: the Blue Sky Series Silver. Finally, speakers from Infinity: Epsilon model no longer available, they are hybrid ribbon and dynamic. The power cable for the dart zell filtering the CD system is an AC cord from Tara Labs. With all this equipement I spend usually two hours each day listening to music. My preference is baroque, but I like every kind of music, classical or not. My last acquisition was the Grimmaudio C C 1 clock. I am very satisfied with my vinyl system and CD system. They are, after this last step, as good as each other. So the final pleasure remains focussing on what is on the record. It would be interesting to hear if the LessLoss DFPC Signature could make my system sound better. Component List - Rack: Finite Element - Mono Amps: Halcro - Preamp: Halcro - Turntable: Micro Seiki - Tonarm: SME 5 - Cartridge: Koetsu Onyx Platinum - Audio Cable: Mexcel - CD Player: Esoteric P-03 and D-03 - Clock: Grimm Audio CC 1 - Power cable: DarTZeel, Mexcel, Furutech, Tara Labs - Distribution: Furutech - AES XLR:Mexcel Esoteric - Interconnect and speaker cables: Audioquest Blue Sky Series Silver - Speakers: Infinity Epsilon Review of the LessLoss DFPCs After testing carefully, my conclusion is very positive. First, I tried two Signatures between the Furutech TP609 and my amps: the quality of bass improved significantly by comparison with my Neotech-Furutech power cables. Second test, one Signature from the wall to the Furutech TP609; two Originals from the TP609 to the halcro mono amps. The result was a very significant improvement in every aspect of quality of listening: greater transparency, and so on. But perhaps it seemed the bass was less present than in first test. Definitely, the result was very positive. Third, placing an Original from the wall and the TP609 and two Signatures from there to the amps: clearly the result was inferior to the previous one. I cannot presume what could have been the sound of three Signatures. Perhaps same tranparency with better bass? Forth, I swapped the Tara Labs power cord from the wall to the Dartzeel filter which powers the Esoteric P-03 / D-03 and Grimm Audio clock: a very clear improvement when using the Signature. Finally, I tried an Original instead of a Neotech on the Grimm clock. The result was not apparent at first. I used a very intereting SACD with baroque instruments which sound harsh. The result in the end was that the harshness disappeared and a richness in timbre became evident which was superb. Conclusion: the five cables (three Signatures and two Originals) added a new level of quality to my system. For my testing, I used mainly SACD, especially Volume 7 of Sonates for Violin and Pianoforte from Channel Classic with Gary Cooper and Raphael Podger. Extremely interesting but very difficult to reproduce. Needs a very high quality system. I am interested in changing my five cables for LessLoss. Thank you very much for letting me having the opportunity of this trial. Very best regards. DFPC Series [Original]Date Added: 12/05/2009

I am one of the few audiophiles who know how much of a difference a great PC can make in a system... and expensive does not neccessarily mean better. I currently have 4 JPS 'Aluminata' PCs and 1 Crystal Cable 'Ultra' PC in my system. If your DFPC Signature PC betters any of my current cables, I will buy it and try another. My preamp uses 2 PCs. I have read, with interest, your views on cable geometry and physics and find them very unique.

(much blacker background)...soundstage widened and deepened...the bass was fast and tight..better then before..vocal articulations and instrumental tonality improved....and complex musical passages,whether classical symphonic or rock, were now not instrumentally blurred but individually apparent...to say I was surprised would be an understatement...what I was hearing destroyed my previous theory regarding price/performance ratio...the rest of the story.....I have now replaced 2 other pcs..1 other cc 'ultra' and 1- jps 'aluminata' with the same ..additive findings...each addition building on the last...I will be demoing 2 more 'signature' pcs in the near future on my preamp..my guess is that they,too, will increase my enjoyment of the music I so love......my system is comprised of piega c-40 speakers...goldmund 29m amp....first sound paramount mkII series-3 preamp...meitner cdsa-sc player...worldpower 'powerwing' conditioner...and argento smr speaker and i/c cables...I might also add that Mr. Motek is in a very small group of owner-designers that I consider to be truely individually passionate about his products...he treats everyone as if he/she were his only customer...

A little bit about my Audiophile search: I've been a music lover for over 30 years! My first equipment was: Vinyl player Thorens TD 160 with Microacoustics MA733 Amplifier Mission 778 (Still alive!) And selfmade Exponential boxes Next Step: Transrotor Hydraulic player with C4/M4 From Yamaha Then a lot of changes with amps from Luxman, Burmester, McIntosh. A nice combination Restek Preamp, Poweramp, Cd-player and Dynaudio C3 Speaker. Another fine combination was Einstein-Audio with Lansche No.4 Speakers. But all these conbinations were still far away from my present combination: Esoteric SACD-Player Rossner & Sohn Vinyl-player (I'm waiting for a new pickup the Sound-smith Stage Guage system) SMC-audio VRE-1 Preamp Gruensch Poweramp Lansche Cubus Exponential Speakers All cables Stealthaudio and Bastanis. Antivibration table from Halcyonics, and artificial ground from Acoustic Revive.

Review of the LessLoss DFPCs The LessLoss cables work very fine, they bring in imediately some calmness to the music. After some days the soundstage became very wide angled, and the instruments became precisely located, with a very good 3D image. I think they are absolutly worth the money, and these cables make any equipment perform a step closer to real music. DFPC Series [Original]Date Added: 11/20/2009
Introductory Statement by the System Owner
Been an Audiophile since 1990. Started off with Bose multichannel system with a simple Denon receiver. I moved on from Bose to Paradigm Mini-monitors in mid the mid 90's. Since the release of DVD I became obsessed with this hobby. Nearly 18 years later, I've invested nearly $60k in my audio and video gear. I've always been a skeptic of high end power cables but the professional reviews are becoming hard to ignore. Component List - Arcam AV888 Processor - Pass Labs X250 2 channel amp - ADA PTM-6150 6 channel amp (surrounds) - Dali Helicon 800 MK2 speakers - Dali Helicon C200 center - Dali Helicon IW200 for surrounds - JL Audio F113 subs (pair) - Pioneer BDP-5FD Bluray Player - JVC RS10 Projector - Stewart Studiotek 130 Screen Review of the LessLoss DFPCs Like many others, I was very skeptical about "high-end" cables. As a result, I never considered the investment so my doubts on upgraded power cables were not based on personal experience. However, when I was invited to evaluate the LessLoss power cables, I was more than happy to give it a chance. Part of the excitement of being an audiophile is the fun derived from trying new gear. For me, this was a great opportunity try something new and keep an open mind without the risk. When I received the cables, I immediately replaced the stock cables on my Bluray player, processor and amp with the LessLoss. The first test for me was my favorite 2 channel reference Chesky recordings. At first, I thought I was imagining things. I said to myself "am I really hearing a difference?". Guitar strings had more substance, bass sounded tighter and more controlled, the background was blacker with a deeper soundstage. I was amazed but I still didn't want to believe it. I called in a audiophile buddy of mine and asked if he could help me with some blind tests. We played the same track for each test and I asked him to randomly replace the stock cable with the LessLoss. I was able to pick out the LessLoss almost every time. Again, instruments had more substance, deeper sound stage and the music had a level of excitement I didn't experience before. All I can say is, I'm a believer. Get these cables! If you can't replace all your cables, replace your source gear first. You will not be disappointed! Not to mention, the cables look great too. They really add a touch of class to your equipment rack.

I have had my system for about 3 years. My experience is that is produces music that is highly resolved with a soundstage that is both deep and wide with instruments in their proper places. Tone is very neutral and realistic (as much as is possible given limitations of room, recordings etc.) Every component and accessory detailed above has added to the characteristics noted above. System strengths are acoustic performances of all types. Weaknesses are lack of deep bass need for hard rock and heavy metal, though these genre are still very listenable. In heavy rotation on the system are Mozart and Joe Satriani.

Your risk-free trial program is a great idea, please keep it going. Because of work and personal commitments, I was not able to test the product as long as I wanted (don’t know if that is really possible), but I was still able to get in about 12 hours of play time with about 4 hours of critical listening. Initial Impression: Plugged in the LessLoss DFPC cable to my Almarro amp and had a “WOW” response. The difference was significant. There was more of everything. More bass, more mid, more sound stage. By more, I mean, a fuller, smoother, more natural sound. As noted in my introductory statement, my system with the standard cable is very transparent, meaning more sterile, lighter, less life-like, when compared to the DFPC set-up. My 15 year-old daughter noticed the difference with the DFPC right away and liked it very much. What I was able to confirm again, is that my system is very good at resolving component changes. Every “tweak” that I have made so far, from fuse swaps to isolation feet, has changed the sound of the system. Such changes have made noticeable, but moderate, impacts on the system’s performance. The DFPC had the most significant impact of a component change on the system’s sound to date. I was not expecting that. Extended Listening: One of my challenges in trying to form an opinion about the DPFC is that I have been listening to my "new" system for about three years and was very satisfied to date. Your cable significantly changed the system's performance for the better in almost every way, except that I have gotten so used to the high-end transparency of my system (I am not saying this is a good thing) that I kept feeling that something was missing. Where a Chesky recording of Rebecca Pidegon allowed me to hear what I think was the sound bouncing in the recording studio on the stock cable, the DFPC muted that “artifact” but presented Pidegon’s voice in a more natural manner. Was the artifact, in fact, just distortion? I don’t know, as I have never tested other power cables before to see how that particular sound changes. Other listening sessions confirmed the initial impression of a fuller sound. Again, as my system is relatively sterile, I was overwhelmed by the “more of everything” which I had not heard before. On balance (with the weight significantly in your favor), your cable provides a more enjoyable listening experience because I had more “near life-like sound” moments than ever before. As I was able to A/B the cables with my old set, I came away with a very favorable impression of your product. Conclusion: I have learned a lot about my system and how significant a power cable can change a system’s performance. I am still absorbing and mentally digesting my experiences during the trial and wish I had more time with the cable. Louis, thanks again for the trial and for making such an impactful product. Will keep in touch. DFPC Series [Original]Date Added: 11/01/2009 by Marek Supa
I have been using your cable for just 15 minutes and am happy with it. More bass, more clarity, in the first moment a little bit less highs, but, after a while, I realized it is not less, but more precise heighs.... So, these are my first impressions... The cable is already burned-in because of the Audiodrom tests and I like it from the first moment...
Thank you very much. Best regards, Marek DFPC Series [Original]Date Added: 10/24/2009 by Barry Howard
For 35 years I have involved myself in our hobby. My primary focus has been on my 2 channel system and only recently have I invested in higher quality video.
After playing with power cables over years, I stumbled across LessLoss and became intrigued by the number of endorsements and reviews I read. If the DFPC had not been raved about by mainstream reviewers I may have let myself become cynical based on the consumer reviews completed as part of what I suspect was a product launch program. To this point I had bought into the belief that power cords make a difference but they were not "a component" and were system dependant. The DFPC has changed that paradigm and I never thought that I'd gladly endorse a $600 power cord to place on a $1000 piece of equipment. It really is that good and I've taken the attitude that it is a lifetime product that will be with me as electronics fail or are replaced. I purchased one cable and first tried it on my Sonic Frontiers Line 3SE+ with Valvo tubes. Immediately I was struck with the new size of my soundstage. There was a profound power to the music without the typical sacrifice of a loss of micro details. In fact the details were clearer without any "edge". The noise floor had definitely been lowered. When I audition new products in my system I tend to strain to hear differences in detail retrieval. I didn't have to do that with the DFPC; it was all just there and most importantly, balanced - no frequency was making its presence noticed at the detriment of another. After about 30 minutes I noticed that both of my feet were tapping the floor during every song. For me this is the most important factor - involvement in the music and the feeling of participating in it! Since that original purchase I have sourced all of my components with DFPCs and after each installation heard new improvements. My phono preamp is like a new product with improved pace, strength, and detail. I mentioned earlier that I recently began to invest more money into video reproduction. I now have a 58" plasma TV and an Onkyo 876 receiver. I bought the receiver because of the Silicon Optix HQV video processing chip that is much better than what is in the Panasonic TV. I have been astounded by what the DFPC did for the video processing; everything improved including better blacks, contrast, detail, colour saturation, and naturalness (less digital looking and more film like). On top of the product quality is the exceptional customer service from Louis Motek at LessLoss. He is in that rare breed of company owners (like Rogue Audio) who demonstrate humility along with a customer centric approach and make the purchasing experience a pleasure.

I am 57 and spent the first $300 I ever made on a Scott compact stereo and have been upgrading ever since. As you can see, this is pretty much an LP playback system. My priorities are a pure midrange, a broad and deep and stable soundstage, and some forgiveness of less than perfect recordings. On the subject of soundstage, it seems to me that a well defined soundstage goes hand in hand with a balanced resolution of low level detail and dynamics, as ambient cues are pretty subtle. I play a little guitar and know the sound of a Strat through a tube amp and a Martin acoustic guitar, so those are also reference points. Of course getting voices right, especially female voices like Neko Case, Liz Phair and Emmy Lou Harris is very important. If the system does manifest any frequency imbalances, I don't mind a little euphonic warmth, as a good many of my favorite rock and pop LP's can be on the bright side. I can deal with some brightness if I know it's inherent in the recording, but any hint of additional brightness or glare is distracting to the point of being unacceptable. From this, you would think I would be running all tubes, but my speakers are open baffle dipoles and the manufacturer specifically recommends solid state amps for their high damping factor. One other thing - the Muse preamp is remote controlled and has a feature that allows you to change absolute polarity from normal to inverted without leaving your listening position. Proper absolute polarity makes a noticeable difference on nearly every LP. I can usually tell when absolute polarity is right because the soundstage goes deeper when it's right. I do have a CD player, hardly ever use it. I've never had a high end CD or SACD player in my system, and doubt I ever will. Digital is fine for my car or pool room, but I'm just not interested in spending a few thousand dollars on a decent digital front end for a collection of about 300 CDs that hasn't grown much in the last few years. Meanwhile I'm at about 2600 LPs and growing. Lately I've been trying different speaker cables in the hopes of ameliorating a slight glare that I believe comes from having a mostly solid state system. I tried silver speaker cable and was impressed by the amount of detail they revealed, but they were way to bright from the start and that didn't change much after about 100 hours. They've been replaced with the Cable Research labs wires. I also tried magnet wire and found it bright and fatiguing as well, even after about 200 hours break-in. My current system still has some glare / hardness that is a little distracting. I know my current power cords are a weak link and looking forward to trying the Lessloss power cables. I just want to put on a record and become totally immersed in the performance, without having any of my attention drawn to some aspect of the actual reproduction. I've been there before, but in a mostly successful pursuit of higher resolution, some gremlins have been flushed out of hiding so to speak. The subwoofer sits right in front of the amp, and I haven't yet optimized it's placement in the listening room.

I didn't proceed very scientifically, as I have limited time to listen to music and wanted to derive maximum benefit from the time I had with the LessLoss power cables. So, I hooked up my Marantz power amp using the DFPC Signature cable, ran a DFPC Mini to the Herron phono stage, and hooked up the Muse Preamp with the DFPC Original. These were all plugged into a Shunyata Hydra 8. I would have loved to have had a DFPC for the Hydra, but I had to stick with the stock Shunyata Diamondback because the LessLoss demo set did not include a cable with a 20 Amp IEC connector. For the next three evenings I just listened to records. Emmy Lou Harris for female vocals, Ry Cooder "Jazz", a long time reference, Tom Waits, Jimi Hendrix, Celtic music, some classical.... With the DFPCs in, listening was a pure joy. Getting rid of that last vestige of grain (distortion) is a big priority for me now, and with the LessLoss cables installed, the grain virtually disappeared, revealing black backgrounds, subtle echo tails, hall cues, nuanced instrument harmonics; the standard low level stuff we audiophiles attend to that make reproduced music seem more real. Voices sounded natural and lyrics were very easy to follow. The sound stage was wider, deeper and more 3D than I've ever heard. Another way of saying 3D would be to say that instruments and vocalist had better front to back separation than I'd ever heard from my rig. These cables deliver the music. Lots of goosebumps. The night after I sent the LessLoss power cables on, I reverted to my current power cables and made sure to let the system burn in for about an hour by playing classical organ music. Then I sat down to listen to some LP's, wondering if I could still be happy with my old setup. Short answer, no. I knew the old cables would be grainier, and after the LessLoss experience, that was painfully obvious. Something I hadn't paid much attention to with LessLoss in place, but was immediately apparent when I reverted, was the change in the quality of the bass. There was an overshoot/tubby quality that simply wasn't there with the LessLoss cables in place. More simply, the LessLoss were tighter in the bass, and it sounded so right I didn't notice it until I reverted. Also, when I was using the LessLoss, I tried plugging the power amp DFPC cable right into the wall (Oyaide outlet), rather than the Hydra. That helped dynamics a bit with no increase in distortion. Prior to that I had always had my power amp plugged into the Hydra. So, when I went back to my old cables, I tried plugging my power amp right into the wall. That lasted all of about 5 minutes before I plugged it back into the Hydra. Grain on top of grain. It would seem that the filtering capabilities of the LessLoss were such that they didn't depend as much on the Hydra being upstream, whereas when I used my old cable on the power amp, the Hydra was a necessity. Do to financial limitations, I find myself "stuck on the farm after seeing Paris", but thanks for the chance to participate in this demo. I now know my system has untapped potential that the LessLoss power cables can reveal, and I will be upgrading as finances permit. LessLoss started its business on Audiogon in late 2007. Within the first couple of month, word about LessLoss spread like wildfire among Audiogon members. Here is the feedback received from our clients during our first year of operation. This is from even before we had our own website. Louis is one of the best in the business, truly professional and very fast production and delivery. I am very satisfied by your superb service. Many thanks.
Excellent transaction with Lessloss on dynamic filtering power cord. Good communications & fast shipping. A+++++

Item arrived quickly and well packaged. Excellent communication. A great product from a great seller.
This is cable #4 in my system.Used powering my Ashley Xovermy MRS scares me out of the room!What power below 15Hz.No power cords that I have owned,many15X the $579.asking price have come close 2 this level of performance Looking forward 2 adding more
Cable #3 added to the PS of my Cello Palette. Well, no more static as I rotate the dials for the various frequencies. 1st cable to accomplish this! All power conditioners, including the Accuphase P1200 did not rectify the situation.Unbelievable!
Fast shipping and great sounding cables. Would not hesitate to deal with Liudas again.
This is my 2nd power cord from Lessloss. The first one was used to power my VRE-1, this one for the EMM CDSA SE. Again, a stunning result, w/quieter backgrounds, something that I thought I achieved w/the 1st cable. Next unit, the Xover.Unbelievable!
Excellent service and product, do not hesitate to try these cords. AAA+
Super fast shiping and a fantastic power cord. The very best I have ever used. Thank you Liudas!
You cant get a better seller in audiogon than Louis. For a cheap PC ( compared to many other manufacturers), he is responsive to your mails and even offer suggestion for cable configuration. Buy with confidence. First class seller with 1st class serv

Liudas has SUPERB DELIVERY,excellent communication. Cables are gorgeous.Can't wait till my amps come back,so I can reconnect.Can't say enough,check out all the POSITIVE FEEDBACK,Don Mitchell
The Lessloss offers WIDE dynamics.It's spooky quiet with an airy sound stage. Worth 10 times its list price.I am buying more!
Liudas is superb to deal with,4 day delivery to my door.wonderfully crafted cable. Excellent communication,and he's very patient with my questions,I'll be doing business with Liudas again(oops I already have)Thanks,Don
Very good sounding power cable,fast delivery-recommended.Thanks!
I own a number of well know and expensive Powercords that I use throughout my system. The Lessloss is clearly on par with the best for less. Used on the preamp of a system that was never bass shy, I felt like I had discovered another octave of music
Re: Purchase of Lessloss AC power cable. Immediately apparent something is special, it changes the envelope of the delivery of the music. The tripath solid state AR Amp sounds more flowing and used with my Tube SET, more bass from my 2 way speakers
Very good power cable at reasonable price, fast shipping, easy communication. Highly recommended, both product and seller.
Thanks Liudas. Very fast shippment, the whole transaction took 3 days. Excellent cable, the best I've owned. It's my second purchase from Liudas so I know from experience that it will be even better after burn in. Highly recommended.
Quick shipment and very good AC cord. I'll be back for more.
STELLA SERVICE. Felt like a valued customer. Cables are simply amazing. The sound stage is huge and sibilance free. Amazes me the way instruments and voices soar out of thin air. Thanks Luidas.
Outstanding service, excellent communication, and a fantastic product, one of the best power cables available for the $$$$. thanks again!
Quick delivery this time, My CD player never sounded so good. Thanks Luidas for another great cord to add to my system. A+++
I would like to thank Liudas for his excellent service. He is selling a fabulus product that helped me to solve the problem of high frequency harshness I experienced with my CD player.I will buy more cables to replace my Acrolink and Oyaide Tunami
I have now completed a full system (Digital/Power/Analog) integration using the LessLoss product. These power cables are a work of auditory art. Simply plug them in and be amazed! It's one product any sensible audio enthusiast should not miss out on.
I now have 4 of these in my system and every one of these on each component brought my system up to new levels. Nicely built as well. Highly recommended component!
Liudas is the gold standard in service. His cord in my system amounted to a hugh and positive upgrade. Thank you.
Outstanding service and the cable is as stated. The best I have heard so far over other regarded power cables. Highly recommend!!
Great on-going communications and terrific product.
I still find it hard to believe a power cord could be equal to or even greater than a serious interconnect upgrade, but it is! Thanks Liudas for the great product and perfect customer service.
The perfect seller in Audiogon: exceptional communication, easy transaction and fast and safe shipping. Recommended.
Perfect transaction.Great communication and very fast shipping. A+ Audiogon seller
Superfast shipping, good communication, doesn't get any better than this. Also, the cables are butifully made of high quality components. Thanks Walter.
Excellent transaction. A great power cable and company. Worth the wait.
A great experience overall, Liudas's enthusiasm for his product and the ongoing updates made this a very positive experience. The cord has made a significant difference in my system, most notably a much lower noise floor..
Trustworthy and very knowledgeable seller/designer/manufacturer. Kept in touch with updates and info. while cord was being manufactured and processed. It's all good - and all very high end.
Liudus is a great guy and the power cord is outstanding, I will glady buy from lessloss again, the cord took my system to another level
2nd entry; bought more cables. IMHO, better powercables than these are not available! Lessloss p/c's are MORE than a system upgrade. And 2 day delivery, from Lithuania?!! Amazing product!!!
Very nice sounding cable, beautiful build and a very reasonable price with fast international shipping. A+++
IMAGINE every listening session as your best listening session. Every recording played the best it can play. Your equipment performing always at optimum. Lessloss makes it happen! These cables are the best of the best!!!
In my years of audio and all the cords I tried Lessloss cords, made a difference you can hear for the better and it's not subtle. Good work Liudas! AAAA+
Excellent seller and Audiogoner, great communicator. Power cable is outstanding, excellent... Great soundstage, excellent definition, black background as promissed.
Liudas is great to deal with: excellent communication and service. The cables are very well made and well worth the money. Thanks!
Outstanding transaction and outstanding power cable.
Great transaction well worth the wait, this is by far the best powercord I have used in my system over the past 20 years, some cost as high as $3,000 and this power cord for $500.00 beat them all hands down and is a steal at its current asking price.
Top notch construction, performance to match, and a great transaction. Highly recommended because the cable does what is claimed, lowers noise while improving dynamics. Thanks!
If it was just always so simple !! Excellent, correct and accurate communication. Absolutely no loss at all even before listening to the cables. Highly recommended.
This cable was the BEST purchase that I've ever made!! I’m not affiliated with this product in anyway, but feel sorry for Audiophiles who don’t purchase these cables. Once Audiophiles try this cable, they will wonder how this product can be sold at such a low price. I’m baffled… In an industry full of snake oil, unethical cable retailers, enormous profits and scams - this LessLoss "Filtering Power Cable" is a "breakthrough product" which blows away the ALL competition at ANY price!!! I honestly don’t know how LessLoss can make a profit while using Oyaide connectors, hand braiding and an incredible passive AC filter. LessLoss "Filtering Power Cable" are sold from a manufacturer /owner /designer who is trustworthy, ethical, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. Take a chance!!!!, PayPal your money to Lithuania - and you'll be rewarded with great Customer Service, and the finest power cord made. Hear for yourself what you are missing!!! Thanks Again!!!
Excellent service and communication. Fast shipping. Thanks, Liudas!
Excellent products! Delivery of the power cords and XLR digital interconnect cable,was received within 10days of shipping. Luidas kept me informed on the status of my order. Very good communication and feedback to my inquiries.
First-rate all the way! The cables are sensational, and the price is a steal. The 1-2 week delivery from Lithuania is well worth the wait. Liudas and Vilmantas at LessLoss are perfectionists pursuing their love for the art of music reproduction.
Before upgrading your gear, please try the Lessloss Blackbody. It works wonders with my equipment and adds a realism, a new quality to the sound that will leave you speechless. Absolutely wonderful piece of gear.
