DFPC Series [Signature]

Date Added: 12/17/2015 by Emanuele
I was searching for a power cord for my great Luxman 509u integrated, a dynamic, natural and really neutral (not that cold, lean, shouting and bright sound like Nordost Valhalla that many false audiophiles call "neutrality") sounding power cord which was able to put together the strengths of other power cords I have (or I had in the past), without their weak points (*):

- Furutech Powerflux: one of the best p.c.'s I have ever listened to, fast, airy and sweet, but their rhodium FI50 connectors call a bit attention to themselves with that typical brightness of ALL non-gold plated power plugs; the Oyaide 079 is absolutely my favourite.
- MIT Oracle AC1: another great power cord but I could only use it on my Accuphase DP700, because of its limited dynamics on the integrated. It has a full but a bit slow bass, detail and image are strong but a bit stressed for my taste (are copper/silver conductors and rhodium plated plugs really used in the european version?)
- Kubala-Sosna Emotion: very open, natural and smooth in the highs (gold plated plugs!), fast and dynamic, but in my previous listening room I felt it "compensated" the very strong midbass of the Emotion XLR interconnects with a bit of a lean character; however, I would like to try it again in my new room
- Cardas Golden Reference: in my previous listening room they sounded really "forward" with great emphasis on the highs (again, Furutech rhodium power plugs, the FI15) but with an overall warm sound; in my actual room it has a nice, warm and refined sound but bass stops in the mid-bass range, without going deep like my B&W 803D+Luxman 509u can go
- Acrolink 6n 4030pc: a champion in its price range but a bit muddy, confused in the bass; it was my favourite on the 509u until the DFPC Signature completed its burn in; the Oyaide O46 gold/palladium plugs work well wuth this cable, even If I prefer the 079's.
- Oyaide Tunami GPX:
- Purist Audio Design Aqueous 20th Anniversary: sweet and natural highs (in fact it has Oyaide gold plated 079 plugs!) but its overall sound is very coloured, with some emphasis on the voices.

(*) Is the DFPC Signature able do that?

Absolutely YES, and it goes further with better speed, dynamics, real neutrality, transparency and clarity, which does not mean "brightness" but, again, "REAL neutrality, transparency and clarity"!

I think I will buy other two Signatures for my Purepower 3000 AC regenerator (with the 20A Oyaide C279) feeding the whole system) and the Goldnote Dumbo AC filter (added for DP700 only; power matters!!!) and a Reference from the Dumbo AC to the DP700.

No other words are needed!

P.S. #1: Be patient during the burn in process, it sounds awful at the beginning, changing in a crazy way every day! The 30 day trial option is useless: you won't ever send a DFPC back after burn-in!!!

P.S. #2: Do take care of the line phase of your gear! If it is inverted, you have to correct it inverting the L and N contacts in the equipment IEC inlet, or ask Louis to make an "inverted" Signature you can use ONLY on such "line phase inverting" gear!

DFPC Series [Signature]

The 3 'Signature' that have replaced 3 'Original' are blooming nicely. Still. I don't really know if it has to do with my system or the amount of time the cables actually need to burn in.
The level of bass, quality of treble and detail is astonishing.
I am on holiday since about a week and listen to music all day long and the sound is almost improving on a daily base now.

I had a few friends/colleagues over last weekend and we tested very expensive (and I mean very expensive) Nordost cables on my system.
The LessLoss were definitely better. To such an extend that the owner of the Nordost loop is most probably going to place an order for Signature or Reference.
What was indeed ‘strange’ was the level of improvement that the 'Signature' cables brought when compared to the Nordost.
Considering the price of the Nordost, I was, at the most, expecting your cables to level the Nordost but they were, well, better.

Very impressive.

[Update after several weeks of burn-in]

Just a few words to inform you that my 3 DFPC Signature are still improving. Quite amazing considering the level reached so far.

The improvement is obvious on cd's that regularly hit my system and, as mentioned previously, in a beautiful and 'even' way: detailed treble, wonderful middle and even more obviously, deeper but controlled bass.

If you allow me some form of amateurish analogy, it now sounds like a puzzle of which each piece is now perfectly, tightly and smoothly in place and of which even the physical separation of the pieces has disappeared in order to produce a perfectly clear and beautiful picture...

My comments start to look like some dodgy infomercial... I just hope that my genuine enthusiasm will not be perceived by some as a 'paid for' review, hence being counter productive.

But I mean every word.

First and foremost, I wanted to inform you that the recent upgrade from 3 Originals to 3 Signatures is bringing very, very, very nice results!

The difference between the two models within the LessLoss range is almost as high and obvious as the original upgrade from my Audioplan power cables to LessLoss DFPC Original cables.
The improvement is general and on the entire spectre of the music; there is no range that receives a ‘better treatment', the improvement is clear and audible, strong and subtle at the same time.

My system:

-Ayon cd1sc
-Oyaide AR-910 XLR
-Ayon Spirit III
-Sonus Faber Venere 2.5

All LessLoss power cables connected to and from Oyaide MTS-4e

Some say they don't hear any difference in cables..
A power cable! Can't make a difference.. can it?
Well, for me it was a shock.
From the moment I put the DFPC Signature on my CD/DAC I knew, this was something special.
It literally washed/cleaned the sound, directly from the wall outlet.
Very impressive!
It's like I have a new record collection..
Highly, highly recommended!!
