DFPC Series [Reference]Date Added: 01/22/2020 by Matjaz Kaltnekar, Slovenia
I admit being a little late to the party. The DFPC Series power cables have been in the meantime replaced by the C-MARC power cables. But better late than never.
While I could never dream to own such an expensive power cable as the DFPC Reference at an original price of 1.824 USD, since my whole system consists of components in the 2.500 EUR range (Marantz SA14S1 SE and PM14S1 SE by the late famous audio guru Ken Ishiwata and B&W 805S speakers connected by Siltech Classic Anniversary 330L loudspeaker cables), I am very pleased that by the price reduction I could upgrade from the Original to the Reference range. Since I listen mostly to female vocal jazz like Patricia Barber, Jacintha and Melody Gardot, I prefer a certain sound – let's call it a seductive midrange. I abhor shrill highs and don’t really need an extra deep bass, since the B&W 805S don’t go below 46 Hz. I prefer stand mounted loudspeakers like the 805S over floor standers since they “disappear” better in the room. A precise stereo image is also very important to me. So much for the introduction. Now to the first impressions. Thank God I have been informed of the long burn-in time by Mr. Motek as the first sound was one of very shrill highs. I usually use Patricia Barber's song The Thrill is Gone from Cafe Blue for checking cymbals and the double bass. The cymbals were very zingy or should I say glassy. While listening to the double bass I had the impression of listening to a bass guitar like Santana’s. The imaging that before was very directional, came out from just the speakers. I said: “OMG, what have I done. Buying something without prior auditioning.” The fact about getting 70% of the final sound during initial listening referred to by an article about burn-in by Mr. Motek seemed very far-fetched. Thankfully that is why a 30-day money-back guarantee exists. But I knew I had to persist. I let it run through the whole night and another day and on the third day the image nicely opened up. The same song with the title The Thrill is gone should be renamed to The Thrill has returned since Patricia Barber's voice now gave me goosebumps. The instruments were settling down nicely an octave or two, my wife even commented that maybe the piano sound was even a little bit too dark. But for me the sound was just perfect and I was in seventh heaven. A perfect example was A Taste of Honey from the same CD. It starts with the guitar. I have never heard the fingering of the strings as clearly as that evening. When Patricia started to sing, it was really a taste of honey. After that the drums joined the guitar and as I have already said I really don't need a super deep bass. What has gotten to me, was the uncanny rhythm of the bongo drums. I couldn't help myself to start tapping with my foot to the rhythm of the drums. Another singer that always gives me goosebumps is Jacintha. Moon River from her CD Autumn Leaves is a perfect example of her seductive voice. It is supposed to be a cappella singing. Only if you listen very closely you can hear a piano in the back of the hall during the first 2:20 minutes. The LessLoss DFPC Reference power cables with its quiet background have produced these details as no power cables before. Jacintha's bonus track from the same CD Here's to Life is a brilliant performance by Jacintha and the famous jazz pianist Kei Akagi. By the sound of it I could swear it was a Steinway. Only the best power cables bring out the texture of the piano like this. I am not sure if I can describe this correctly, but the note from the hammer strike on the piano string takes much longer to decay than with previous power cables giving the music a much more powerful presentation. There is some theory involved with this - you can google it under "Modelling the Decay of Piano Sounds". I am more and more amazed how many more details I get out of the same recordings that I have thought I knew so well. Now for my final impressions after two weeks of burn-in. I have a sampler CD Ballads in Blue from Enja Records where for testing purposes I usually listen to the first two songs by Melissa Walker (A Time for Love) for the piano and Dusko Goykovich (No Love Without Tears) for the trumpet. I usually jump over the next songs to the last song by Chet Baker (I Fall in Love Too Easily) for his unusual voice where I never know if it is really a man singing or is it a mezzo-soprano voice like Ella Fitzgerald. Also the trumpet and string instruments (orchestra) are very nicely recorded. As it is a live recording it starts with applause. You can always hear a cables time coherence by listening to hands clapping or fingers snapping. With lesser cables the image is very diffuse, it seems to come more from the loudspeakers as from a central audience. Here you can really feel like you are sitting in the audience Now for the piece de resistance. Before that last song there is a piano recording by Abdullah Ibrahim (Eleventh Hour) which I usually jump over during testing as there has been nothing special to the recording until now. Now for the first time I could really appreciate why Enja Music have put this song on the sampler. There are some cymbals which until now were all seeming to come from the same space in the recording. Now for the first time I could hear that there were actually 3 distinct directions (very close but nevertheless in separate space). I have read something like that in one review but I always take such reviews with a grain of salt. Now I can really understand what the reviewer was trying to convey. There are some authors that swear they can identify a brand of cymbals like for example the Zildjians from other cymbals. I am not nearly that far but the same as with piano notes I can distinctly hear the longer reverb/decay of the cymbal strike. Also in the piano you can hear the pedals being pressed, the very details that have been missing until now. Also all the shrillness that I have heard on the first day has gone out of the recordings. The cymbals have now the right sound, the brushes don’t sound like sandpaper any more. The trumpet still has the brassy sound that I love so much and the piano has a very lifelike appearance. Let me say at the end that I am very thrilled by the improvement the power cables have made to my system. I have spent a lot of money on my system already but this was one of the best investments I have made until now.    
 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+++++
Bought 3 pc's from Liudas in Jan/08. Outstanding product as advertised. Performance is everything and more than I expected. Kudos to Lessloss cable for a great product. Very highly recommended...A+++
Bought the Lessloss PC cable about a month ago; the quality and build are excellent. Compares very favorably with more expensive PCs. Highly recommended. Thanks!
A power cable that makes a huge difference; simply an excellent design. First-class sales and service - highest recommendation.
Cable #6 powering my Emm Dac6e which comprises part of my headphone system. Again, more resolution, detail, quietness from my Victor HP1000phones. Best single device in my system ever. Time to purchase more. I'm spreading the word re: this marvel!!
Liudas,your service is INCREDIBLE,no waiting 4-6weeks for cables and the ones I already have are doing more than I hoped A+A+,Thanks again,Don
Lightspeed delivery,very nice cable.I am kind of proud Liudas of such good cables from this part of Europe
Liudas is a honest and dependable seller, always answers my e-mail questions promptly. The LessLoss cable is a work of art, and sounds good too, cable is still burning in. I'm quite happy with my purchase.
Very smooth transaction, lovely cables. Thanks Liudas!
Amazing power cord! It beats my other much more expensive cables hands down - blacker background, natural, more details and dynamics. All my CDs open up and sound more musical. Brought two cables so far and will be buying more for sure. Liudas is a s
Cable #5 powering my Day Sequerra tuner results in being able to receive more stations!!! No more hiss, greater dynamics. Makes it sound like my ADA Tune Suite XM. This cable is the most remarkable product that has come my way in the past 20 + years
Kind and lightspeed fast service. The cable is a steal and outperforms other cables, costing much much more. Increasing every aspect of sound you can imagine. Absolutely outstanding!!! Thanks again Liudas.
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
Excellent seller...and truely excellent cable. The Dynamic Filtering Power Cable is just fantastic...musical...liquid...3D. Thanks!
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.
