DFPC Series [Original]
Date Added: 12/23/2008
A few weeks ago, I ordered one DFPC from LessLoss. Triggered by all the favorable reviews on the web, I decided to give it a try. I hooked up my Rega Saturn CD player and got an excellent result. Even before complete burn-in, the improvements were huge. I got much more detail, more fluid highs, deeper lows and a much blacker background. The lows especially improved a lot. Instead of bass I now heard detailed low notes, I could even tell the difference between the instruments producing the lowest notes.
After a week I ordered three more DFPC, to get these improvements for my pre- and power amps as well. It certainly further extended all of the improvements mentioned above, but now even much more of them. The soundstage widened, got deeper and higher. A non-audiophile friend was totally blown away with some of his favorite music, as was I!
Service and communication with Louis was excellent throughout the whole process. Very quick replies to my emails, prompt shipping and almost instant delivery with UPS.
This has been a very good and pleasant upgrade for my system. I know these cables will stay for a long time (I already sold my previous power cords!).

Firewall

I just installed the Firewall in my system to compliment the 5 DFPC I previously installed. I am absolutely stunned by the quality of the sound!!! The sound stage is enormous; the voices and instruments are relaxed and fluid; the background is as black as I've ever heard on any high end system (my system is Jeff Rowland amps and preamp, Sonic Frontier CD transport and DAC with Nordost Valhalla and Odin interconnects, Wilson WATT/Puppy 7 speakers). I have never felt as much a part of the music as I am now. What a joy!!! I could listen all night. Even my wife is astounded, and she usually doesn't sit still very long to listen. Thank you so much Louis. I highly recommend the Firewall to anyone seeking to dramatically improve their music listening experience.

Blackbody (1st version)
Actually, this is more of a small add-on to my personal experiences with "light" frequency in the effect of sound reproduction. I do not profess to be a scientist on this front but have trusted my ears to let me comment.
I read the Blackbody article with great interest. An actively powered blue light bulb was mentioned as enhancing sonic quality.
You may want to explore "reflected" light -- that is, something passive. I have found ORANGE PAPER (unwaxed) sticker dots (the ones you find at stationery stores to color code documents, folder, files, etc.) to be extrememly effective in enhancing sound quality. Other colors just did not cut it, the worse being blue and green. I have found dual use for this...interplay of reflected light and resonance (specifically, sympathetic resonance...why fight resonance when you can never get rid of it, and you do need it afterall), all on the passive "unpowered" front.
The people at Shun Mook have known about this for a very long time.
Try it, you may be just as surprised and perplexed!
Cheers,
Kenny

Just tried two of the DFPC's on my Ayre K-1xe pre and V-1xe power amp.
I was a little sceptical that this was really about a good marketting effort, even ater reading all of the reiews. Audiphiles can move in waves sometimes. But I have to say that even on just plugging the cable in with no burn in I was quite surprised by the effect. My reaction was essentially "you have to be kidding me". I have tried cables by Zu (Mother Mk.2), Cardas ( Golden Reference), Synergistic(A/C Master Series with active sheilding), VH Audio(Airsine), Gutwire(G-Clef)and inexpensive cables by Kimber. My experience is that you very often have to listen closely to hear a difference and then proceed to disect it. Not this time. the diffence jumped out at me - a sense of increased energy, better high frequency extention and a better flow from the music. A fuller picture will emegre over time as the cable burns in and I listen further, but, on the face of it this is something. I have not tried other cable at $1000.00 or more, and will be keping the VH Audio Air sine on my EMM CDSA for now as the difference was not as dramatic and don't want to get another DFPC cable until I sell it(it was $749.00), but would not hesitate to recomend trying this cable.They are also well made with the best wall plug I have tried. I feel that until I am ready to try cables in the $1000.00 - $3000.00 price range, which i am not confident can be signficantly better, I am done with Cables. Great job, whatever you are doing.

Dear Louis,
The Firewall and the Lessloss cables have arrived!
What a piece of gear!! When I unpacked it, I was very surprised to see how big it really was! It looks fantastic and is beautifully made, compliments on that.
Then I installed everything, that took me some time because of its size but setting it up was very easy. When it was in its place, I could start playing...
My first impressions:
First thing that came to my mind was that what I heard was very detailed, really crystal clear and with an impressive black background. The sound was a bit thin however and lacked the authority that I usually get from my system. Had to play on a higher volume than normal. A bit disappointing until I realised that of course the Firewall needed some time to break in!
Today I left my system switched on and now I'm listening to all of my favourite cd's and I'm getting happier and happier. The detail and crystal clearness are at least as magic as I heard yesterday and the dynamics, authority and full bodiedness are back, even on a higher level than I ever got from my system! It sounds fantastic!
After a few days of listening I feel like being in "audio heaven". I'm so glad that I have found your website and the Firewall! My set is playing like never before and I have thought about the right words to describe that. The only thing that kept coming to my mind was that everything has become more real. When I play Tom Waits it feels as if he is singing and playing his little organ in my very living room, fantastic!
Conclusion after two weeks:
This Firewall is fenomenal! More detail in every aspect (low mid and high), more stage, speed and dynamics, a significant gain in clearness and most of all a more real and natural sound.
Thanks again and we'll keep in touch!
Best regards, Han

I plug the LessLoss Dynamic Filtering Power Cable in between my power line conditioner and a Sony LCD TV model KDL46-XBR3.
First I noticed that something was different with the picture and then I began to switch TV channels and had I long ride along the cable TV channel line up.
Somehow I started to see improvement as time passed. I spend about four hours watching cable TV and the DFPC brought in a new dimension to experience of watching TV, from now on is living the presentation!
1. Lower channels (Local programming) non-digital were cleaned up. Picture noise was greatly reduced, contrast was improved and the image gain a sense of 3D dimension like never before.
2. All the digital channels and HiDef channels were improved in the same way!
I have a Shunyata Research Diamondback PC connecting this Sony LCD TV which I think is a good improvement compared to the Sony stock PC but never to the performance level of the DFPC.

I recently bought three DFPC for my Hegel system 4A CDplayer, preamp and poweramp. I first tried the DFPC on the power-amp, replacing Nordost Brahma (a very good pc). I immediatly experinced a surprisingly apparent improvement,so I ordered two more for the CDplayer and preamp (replacing power cables from Isotek and Mood). With the whole signal chain powered by the LessLoss DFPC the sound is considerable more realistic and musical, more dynamic, thigter bass, wider and deeper soundscape. Strident distortions and metallic glares are gone. An excellent power cable.

Hi,
I thought this cable was decent at your promotional price of $350. AT $595, let alone $795, it cannot compete with the ESP Essence Reference or the Cardas Golden Reference. It is just too rolled off on top and not very dynamic sounding.

Impact to the sound:
- More concrete, more realistic loyal instrument sounds, the positions of the musical instruments are more better, the deep and high lane width is better.
- The space is bigger, deeper and realistic loyal.
- The micro and macro dynamic have developed, more information, analytic airy.
- Te sound not silky, is not firm, not aggressive.
- It is informative in silent mode, does not empty.
About the picture:
- More plain, the picture is sharper
- More information
- Bigger light power contrast
- The picture is almost 3D.
Conclusion:
- It is excellent equipment which develops the picture and the sound as well!!!!
We tested this equipment with:
Amplifier: Unison Research, P70 (valve)
CD player: Unison Research, CDE
Loudspeakers: Opera Tebaldi
Turntable: Clear Audio, Master Solution AMG WOOD
Tone arm: Clear Audio, Unify 14"
Cartridge: Clear Audio, Stradivari
Phono preamplifier: Clear Audio, Balance
TV: Pioneer KRP600A
DVD player (blue-ray): Pioneer BDP LX91
Power generator: Clear Audio, Syncro
Interconnect cables: Acoustic Zen, Absolute

LessLoss History From the Very Beginnings
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.
