DFPC Series [Original]

Date Added: 02/10/2012 by E.T.
Thank you for generously giving me time to try the Less Loss Dynamic Filtering Power Cable (DFPC) Original with my Geneva Sound System Model XL. After burning in the DFPC and having time to appreciate the DFPC powering my Geneva Sound XL, the DFPC really does sound like an “equipment upgrade” for my simple all-in-one sound system given my limited budget for "higher-fidelity" (for lack of the finances to afford a Hi-Fi audiophile system) sound.

With the extra time that you gave me, I had a chance to play a wide range (for me anyway) of music and sound through my system via internal CD player, tuner and aux RCA line-in. I downloaded most of the free digital recordings from your company website. I enjoyed the flute music, the Bach pieces, the young child prodigy playing the piano, and the saxophone music. After some minor music software upgrades, I spent some time re-ripping what little music that I have in my small - and out of necessity, portable collection for frequent moves - to lossless formats. I realized now why I stopped listening to common lossy mp3's which sounded lifeless and flat.

I played classical music some of which included Bach's organ works (Virgil Fox), Vivaldi's Four Seasons, choral (incl. Gregorian Chant), orchestral and more modern music too such as Sinatra, 50's music, Elvis, Dick Haymes, Perry Como (yeah, I am liking my parents' music more each day; I am getting older), and some Classic rock. I played some movies through the system too.

The AB tests made it readily apparent that the DFPC is true to the performance information on your company's website. The bass is fuller and deeper. The treble is clearer and more detailed. Vocals sound more human and textured. It is easier to distinguish the different instruments. The saxophone recordings from your company website sounded richer and were more enjoyable. The music notes trail pleasantly off into the silence of a blacker background.

Without the DFPC power cord the music seemed to lack depth, the bass sounded hollow, the treble sounded tinny and strained, and the vocals harsher. The DFPC has much improved my Geneva Sound XL system. I am finding it difficult to fathom returning to the generic power cord. It is a shame that most people are probably missing so much of the sound quality that their systems could produce, simply because their stereos ship from the manufacturer with cheap noisy generic power cords.

So now that I have been spoiled with the trial of your company's DFPC and the sound quality improvement of the DFPC...it will be painful going back to the generic power cord for a while. Your company's DPFC will top off my simple "portable" sound system (Geneva-Sound XL weighs about 75 lbs.). One advantage of the all-in-one Geneva Sound system is that one DFPC can provide clean, filtered power to my system’s amplifier, cd and tuner. The DFPC will be the "icing on the cake," as it were.

Merci beaucoup!

I contacted Louis about his DFPC Original cords after reading many rave reviews. I am very skeptical of any "magic" wire claims, which is what the reviews of Louis' products resembled. Louis patiently, thoroughly and quickly answered all my questions (often with humor and hubris). I ordered two DFPCs: one for my Mac Mini and one for my Wyred4Sound DAC2. Many others, with superior writing skills, have said it all, but Louis' cords made a HUGE difference in what I heard from my system - especially replacing the stock power cord on the mini. My system sounds much more relaxed and musical than before. I now have to save up for the Signatures and Firewall.

Thank you Louis!

DFPC Series [Signature]

I really don’t know how to put this in words. But I’ll try.

First of all let me give you some background. I run a small design company (Klutz Design) focusing on music oriented furniture designs. We’ve launched both a prototype of a listening chair, the Ballerina Sweetspot (soon to go into production) as well as a headphone stand, the CanCans (which is in production). And more to come. These products basically stem from our passion for music, and the appreciation which this gives us. Our pay-off is “Beauty. Fully. Listening” – basically summarizing our “insightful design for the passionate” philosophy through which we design beautiful products that add not only functional benefits to enhance our enjoyment of music, but that are also beautiful creations in their own right and lift our anticipations of our musical experiences. Designs that are beautiful, and that allow one to fully enjoy one's listening.

I finally ordered and just received a complete set of LessLoss cables (several DFPC Signatures, Anchorwave RCA and speaker cables).

I have only implemented two DFPC Signatures (Voltikus PSU for the Zodiac Gold DAC and the Reference PSU for the Bakoon AMP-11R) as well as the Anchorwave RCAs. I didn’t do anything “successively” – couldn’t resist just plugging all 3 of them in immediately. My temporarily employed entry-level bookshelf speakers from Amphion (only there because I sold my previous setup in anticipation of the Trenner & Friedl Pharaoh speakers), aren’t stable enough for the placement & weight of the Anchorwave speakercables, so I haven’t put in these yet. On paper, the speakers shouldn’t really be that “fine”/sensitive to convey any changes (they’re just EUR 800 speakers from my desktop system). Also, an important point of “clarification” is that I have never found myself susceptible to any type of “placebo” effect when it comes to hifi. I’ve listened to a lot of both expensive systems and cables and not necessarily been impressed. Neither do I consider myself a “technical” listener. Just “looking” for real music.

And real music is what I’ve found. The only way to describe what I hear with these first cables in the system, is an unbelievable presence – a combination of a “pitch black” background and clarity, more powerful yet oh so natural. I honestly didn’t know that these entry-level speakers could make this kind of music. I want to tell myself that I am just “hearing things”, that, as everyone one else, I’ve suddenly succumbed to a placebo effect. Because it simply can’t be possible that three cables, albeit great ones, can make such a difference. Right from the start. But they do. Absolutely stunning. I simply can’t wait until I get the T&F Pharaoh speakers and I get to implement the final Anchorwave speaker cables all the way through with an upgraded front end.

And I can’t wait until our first potential customers sit down in our Ballerina Sweetspot listening chair, and listens to the complete setup – with a risk that they’ll want to buy the complete system incl. the LessLoss cables first, before our chair. ;)

Thanks for making such great products.

Michael

I am a proud user of the DFPC Signature. Having four of them has transformed my system to a new level with darker background, better separation, the clarity of the instruments and bass is so good. Now I can sit back and enjoy the music.

Equipment used:

Audio Note Conquest 300B mono block
Audio Note M6 preamplifier
Reimyo Transport and DAC
Dali Helicon 300 MK2 (bookshelf)

DFPC Series [Original]

Date Added: 11/07/2011 by Robert van Velzen, Netherlands
Wanna tell you that your power cords are brilliant. I am listening to a dedicated headphone system. Zodiac Gold DAC and headphone amp, Audeze LCD-2 headphones, connected to my computer. The first cord I used for the Zodiac. A very substantial improvement over all the cords I have tried so far (NBS, Van den Hul). The DFPC Original cord I received today (after 4 weeks witht the first one) I connected to my computer. ...Wow, even without any burn in a very substantial improvement again. Cannot stop listening, my feet are tapping all the time. Very, very involving. Now, my digital rig sounds as least as good as my very expensive turntable. Before putting your cords in my system, my turntable sounded much better than my digital gear... not anymore. I could not be happier with the results!!

Talking about value.... I have been around in this audio/music hobby for at least 40 years now. I think in all these years I have spend at least 35000 Euro in buying all kinds of audio gear. Without going overboard, I can easily say that the two power cords I bought from you for less than 1000 Euro have been my best money ever spent in this crazy hobby. Why? Because of your cables, my system took a giant step towards the ultimate goal for me......the illusion of hearing real musicians making real music in my listening room.

Thank you so much,
Robert

Dear Louis,

Just want to tell you, after about a half month's audition, I have got all the same merits and feelings from the DFPC Signatures as all other owners from the world's audiophiles.

Best Regards & Thank You!

I bought two DFPC Signature power cords for my CD (Jadis J1) and DAC (VACDACII MKII) before I had the PS Audio PPP regenerator.
I did the test with and without the PS and I have to say that (at home) the result is better without the PS. Now, my setup is on a separate line, so no pollution of other things like TV, PC, washing machine, etc...

I have received the PC, thanks.

It's a Fantastic PC and it really W A K E UP finally my system. Very extended detail with good high and definition and most importantly extended and tighter BASS, coupled with great impact. Now my system can ROCK.

Finally, I can listen for hours without any fatigue.

I replaced 3 powercords with DFPC original. The previous powercords used Oyaide Tunami and Furutech connectors. 2 of the powercords were for Atmasphere m60 monoblocks. The third is for a Wyred4Sound dac2. The speakers are full range statics. Speaker cable and interconnects are 'home brew'. The system is supposed to 'get out of the way'. I changed all three cords at the same time and haven't bothered just trying with the DFPC supplying the dac or the poweramps. Changing the three cables made an immediate difference from the moment of installation: more energy, more drive, more low frequency (but without any sense of slowness), more space, and all this without any feeling of agression. The only annoying thing about this is that presumably the signature cables are even better and its always tempting to squeeze an even better sound out of the system. Compared to my previous power cables these cables were a really nice step forward.
