I was not prepared to upgrade my original LessLoss power cables so soon.
They are that good, why should I? But, being persuaded by the good offer Louis made, I did change 2 of the 4 cords and, yes, they make a difference. In fact, the difference is quit big. Louis managed to combine a tube-like smoothness with more (micro-)detail, more transparency, bigger soundstage, better bass, more openness. These power cords are really very, very good and indeed (a lot) better than the original ones. And those were already very good. If you have the cash, I recommend you firmly to change your cords for the Signature, and you will enjoy your music a lot more!
And yes, the communication with Louis is always as it should be:
excellent!

I previously purchased 6 Original DFPC from Louis, and was absolutely astonished with the dynamic impact on my Linn system with respect to the blackness of the background and the expansive soundstage created by the Original DFPCs. When the opportunity to upgrade to the Signature DFPCs arose, I did not think there could be any further improvement in the sonics of my system, so I wasn't planning to upgrade. Enter the extremely generous upgrade credit LessLoss provided for the Original DFPCs once I inquired. I decided to upgrade and I have now had the 6 new Signature DFPCs for 1 week. I was shocked how much better my system sounded with this upgrade. The soundstage expanded, and the bass tightened with the cords, immediately upon insertion without any break-in!! The sound has become much more musical with stunning reproduction of treble and bass with a 2 channel setting and amazing improvement in colours and surround sound reproduction when watching DVDs.
I honestly have never been compelled to write any review before, but I really believe if you are an audiophile, like me, and love the way components and cables can change sonic attributes of recordings to help recreate a sense of "being there" when you close your eyes and listen, then the Signature DFPCs are an absolute must for you. In the past 25 years of buying, selling and tweaking all sorts of equipment, I have never achieved a more dramatic or satisfying improvement in sound as I have with this upgrade. I thank LessLoss for continuing to refine their products to allow us enjoy more realistic sound reproduction!

I have just received my new LessLoss Signature power cord and I have NEVER in my life heard such a dramatic difference to my sound. Complete clarity, complete lack of noise, richer smoother sound, Detail so beautiful and abundant, and bigger rounder sound-stage and that is just after switching on the differences are INSTANT!!!!
Is it expensive - NO it is like a MAJOR component upgrade in every way you could imagine. I will never have to add anything else my system is sounds FAR better that all the mods and changes that I have done in the past and did not need to spend the thousands that I had to get the sound better all I needed to do was put in this power cord - pity it was not out then!!!!!
Next I put on a DVD - Same as for CD but the clarity of the voice just blew me away - The effects just fly out from the screen I can hear details I never heard before - tinkling of glass, squeak of the foot on the floor the breath of a dog, The deep rumble from the ground, the water droplets splashes, all there before but now I can HEAR them! My next step is to order another on for my CD/DVD player - Thank you Louis for a wonderful cable and wonderful service.

Introducing 1 LessLoss (DFPC) into your cherished system will make a noticeable difference - even to a neophyte's ear. My girlfriend certainly noticed. Sound quality much more clear. Stronger, more convincing, natural bass. An overall lifelike presence. Highly recommend it.
If your wallet can allow it, and your partner doesn't kick you out, then go for it. You'll be happy.

I don't know where to begin. My face hurts right now from smiling. I have been on a music-listening binge now for the past week and a half and I am truly overjoyed.
I was quite satisfied before with my music system. I have recently gone the music server route (Sonos) and found that it was an improvement in sound as well as in convenience. I knew that the weak link in my system was the digital cable to my DAC (Burr-Brown) and discovered Lessloss in my research on digital cables.
I am a confirmed skeptic when it comes to audiophile stuff. I hear the differences between amplifiers, etc., but those differences are very subtle. I hear the differences between cables, but you really have to listen to hear them. I once owned expensive MIT Terminator speaker cables, and have no regrets about selling them for lower-priced and equally good sounding cables (Blue Jeans). I was intrigued by the Lessloss claims on their website and so, along with the digital cable, I took a chance (because of the pricing) and ordered the power cable too.
Oh my God! I still can't believe this! I hooked up both cables together, so I can't really say which one makes more of a difference, but together, they totally transformed my stereo in a way that I still find hard to believe.
I have a Denon receiver (AVR 4306). I know most audiophiles will turn up their noses, but I don't care--this thing sounds great. And the Audessey room-correction software included in the receiver really makes a difference. The room modes disappear and the bass is incredibly realistic and un-boomy.
When I put these cables in the system, I expected a minor improvement. I have made many changes over the years, and I have learned from experience that improvements are subtle. Not this time! With the power cable going to the receiver and the digital cable between the Sonos (via Monarchy DIP de-jitter device) and the receiver, I was astonished instantly at the improvement in sound. Previously, the sound was "warm" and tonally accurate, but a bit shelved down in the treble (after room correction). When the cables were changed, it was as if the treble had been turned up, but without any harshness. Pardon the cliche, but I heard things that I never knew were there. I listened to many classical and jazz albums this past week and was amazed. This is as good as I have ever heard. In the Wynton/Ellis Marsalis "Peanuts" album (or whatever they call it), for the first time ever, I heard cymbals that sounded like the real thing. I heard depth, reverb, width--but not in an analytical way--it just sounded real. On classical music, for the first time in my life, I get a glimpse of real music in concert.
I hear live music all the time (my sons are world-class musicians) and I have heard some of the world's best musicians in concert. I know what the real thing sounds like. And for the first time I have seen how close reproduced music can come to the real thing!
I have no idea why changing wires works, but it does in this case. In the past, I have found that improvements are most noticeable when you try to go backwards, so I tried it this time--I replaced the new cables with their predecessors. I was astonished that what I previously thought sounded pretty good now sounded almost unlistenable. When I replaced the cables again, I was amazed again. These things are incredible!
Whatever Lessloss is doing is groundbreaking. I have never made an upgrade to my music system that can approach this. And, as a side point, I have never seen any company that provides better customer service--two days from Lithuania to New Jersey at no cost!
This company and its products have my unequivocal recommendation. And this skeptic is now a true believer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
