Dear fellow audiophiles,
Welcome to our web store! It will be a great pleasure to serve you from here from now on, and to see that the general level of high quality home audio gets better and better the world over, as more and more people discover the virtues of the LessLoss Dynamic Filtering Power Cable.
I was surprised to learn that there is *a ban* on further LessLoss reviews on AudiogoN (they were apparantly flooded too quickly and freaked). So, please use the opportunity provided to post your impressions here. Thank you for all of your enthusiastic support and good-will! May you experience many years of the best possible audio playback you can get your hands on!

Several days ago i recieved the filtering power cable and it gets my highest recommendation. The communication with Liudas was kind, helpful, informative and best of all, i didn't get the feeling that it's all only business related.
When i replaced my Shunyata Black Mamba with the Lessloss Power Cord on my DAC it left my speechless. The difference i expected was more or less subtle, but instead it was sort of gigantic. The first thing to notice was the increased volume. Then i recognized a big improvement on the whole frequenzy spectrum. You know what i mean, you've read it all a thousand times in reviews of Audio magazines, be it printed or online. Improved bass, faster transients and dynamics, better separation of instruments and voices, quieter backgrounds, improved space left to right(goes far beyond the sides of the speakers on some records) and front to back, lesser distortion, instruments sound naturally and very realistic (with HPs words "you are there") and so on. This all culminates in a spectacular sound improvement. With all those pros you also get a much more relaxed listening time too, and details, details, details that simply haven't been there before.
I have read some postings on the lessloss cables that i can't confirm. There was stated that the cables have a bad smell that was gone after one week. The filtering power cords that i recieved have no smell at all. Some people purchased the cable and could only detect small to microscopic sound improvements, but what did you expect if you use all your components plugged into the most expensive power distributors of Shunyata, PS Audio, Audience and the likes ? If you use such devices you don't have to spend several thousand of Dollars for the most expensive Power cords. The difference will be always very small. To find out what this cable really can do, try the following:
Take a simple non filtering power bar, connect it with a simple power cord to your wall outlet and plug all components into the power bar. Take a listen and then exchange one of your usual power cords with the Lessloss. Attention, surprise arriving!
Delivery of the cable is made within a simple plastic bag. No expensive casings that are only useless dust collectors and adds on to the price. Good so. The cable could be bend also in small circles even if the cable feels relative stiff. Nice is that it stays the way you placed it and won't touch your signal cables with the time.
Cons: The Oyaide plugs could have a tighter seat in the sockets. ( IEC and Schuko plug )
With the time i will replace all my power cords with the Lessloss. It's that good, very reasonably priced and outperforms much much more expensive designs of other companies.

I wasn't expecting anything, maybe less, when I swapped out my Anaconda VX Helix with a Lessloss PC. Something definitely cleared the haze off my musical window and as I had said before I didn't have to try to listen, it was just there. There is no way I'd get rid of my Shunyatas, not at the expense of my music. So now I'm almost recabled except for a few more 15a and another digital. So I have more musicality with the Lessloss, delivery to my door in a week or less, FREE shipping, no 50% markup or more, great communications ect. I'd like to say more but try one out and you probably will save yourself 1000's of dollars; I did, and my sound has improved tremendously. I definitely have LESS LOSS.

As we all know, hi-fi is like the books of Marquez and Hubert Lampo: magical realism. Lots of specs and pseudo science but even more marketing and storytelling. And we like to believe it. And we even pay for it. As a hard line hi-end junk a spent lots of euro's and dollars on all sorts of hi-end stuff. Cables are my favorite, espescialy power cords because they have a huge effect on the sound of the system but they don't transmit the signal. That is even more magic. On my journey (never ending i am afraid) i came upon LessLoss and in the end i bought 5 powercords. The reason is very simple: they sound very, very good. In fact i never heard better cords. Ok the Oyaides should have a tighter grip (the female plug) but that is the only critisicm i can think of. They sound excellent because they let your gear play to their maximum. They give more of everything, including volume. But there is more, and that is about customer service. A very rare experience in this branche, because most of the time there is no service at all. I had some frequent mail communication with Liudas and i found out that he is a very informative, honest and a professional craftsman.
I strongly believe that companies like LessLoss are the future in creating better hi-fi. No bull shit marketeers but professionals with passion for music and the skills to build real solutions.

After warming up my new LessLoss DAC 2004 MkII including the Filtering Power Cable a few days, I started listening to it.
First I choose some of my "ugliest" CD's. The amazing was I could listen to it now….Next I was trying some recordings from my favourite Reference Recordings Label, every musicians was at his place, all instruments was at the stage.
The LessLoss solution gives an infinite calm, voices are clear and authentic, instruments sounds as they should.
Now I can realy say, I can hear the music which I bought! I have now a new collection of CD's!
I would like to congratulate Liudas and Vil for their extraordinary performance.

I purchased my first Lessloss PC in January 2008. I was somewhat in doubt about the PC at the beginning. The highs were slightly rolled-off, it lacked transparency and ultimate clarity. It was also not as "airy" as expected. Soundstage was excellent from the beginning, very precise, 3-D quality was more then evident. Voices were rendered in a very natural, organic way.
First I installed it on my Accuphase CDP but after 70-100 hours I was still not happy so I put it on my amp for higher current to pass through and make the break in more efficient. Then it went back to the CDP.
After about 400 hours (that's my best estimate) everything was there , holography, detail, extension, air. The PC is smooth, full bodied.
I was amazed how beautifully piano was rendered. Female voices very sensual.
It's an exellent cord. I bought a second Lessloss PC for my Plinius amp.
Remark: In my system it's very slightly on the dark side. It's only when you compare it to other PC's.

Apart of service- which is outstanding, fast and reliable I would like to add my 5 cents of experience using Lessloss Dynamic Filtering Power Cables. I bought a pair to feed my Myryad MX series CD and Amplifier. Built quality is great; cables are quite heavy, but still flexible. I connected them directly in to wall electrical sockets. After warming a bit I found general improvement of the sound quality in my system. Try to be spesific:
1) there was more bass, contrabass sounded more articulated with extended low frequencies ((Norah Jones- Don't know way, 2002 Capitol Records)
2) drums become more precise (US3- Cantaloop [Flip fantasia], 1992 Capitol Records)
3) sound seemed more spatial (Bobby McFerrin- Kalimba suite, 2002, Capitol Belgium)
4) vocal was more clear on upper frequencies, even velvety (Norah Jones and Nancy Wilson- In the sentimental mood, 2996 Capital records/ originally released 1970)
5) there become more small (missed before) details in records (e.g. "white noise" at the beginning of EDC featuring Sylvia Kristel- Changes, 2002, Strenghold Music group and background sounds in cafe in Nina Simone- House of the rising Sun, 1992 EMI Records/ original released 1961.
6) and finally there is special silence, I might provoke and call it "negative value silence" it is deeper than it should be. Amazingly- all instruments appear on time and without any delay, hall effects (where recorded) are transparent and very trustful. But at the same time I can not ignore there is a unique feeling that sound come to me from the SILENCE. Probably, I just get to use to this feature. (Anyway- there is nothing bad with it).
I made an experiment and plug Lessloss DFPC though Isotek Gemini power filter. Qualities of sound become worse- it lost sparkling heights of the vocal (Brian Ferry- When time goes by) and jazz drums lost some articulation. Generally- there was some losses during intensive filtration. Therefore- do not use such devices with Lessloss cables- plug them directly into wall!
Two Lessloss power cables cost more than thousand dollars, but somehow they did my system sound better. Great job of passionate world class Lithuanian sound engineers who also excel in servicing customers well!

I came across the LessLoss Dynamic Filtering Power Cable (LL DFPC) when reading about power cables on the internet. I was of cause very curious about the cable due to the many very positive reviews, so I bought a LL DFPC in August. I received the cable very fast - just 2 days after ordering. When connecting the cable to my amp - McIntosh MC275 - my expectations were very high and for sure they were fully fulfilled. Right out of the packing I was able to tell the difference. It sounded right from the beginning and just after 24 hours I would say the cable had more or less settled in. It just sounded so relaxed, natural and none fatiguing.
Indeed this power cable is something special. The only 'problem' is that you tend to get addicted to the sound of the LL DFPC. As a consequence I bought 3 more cables: One for my Audio Aero Capitole CD/preamp, one for my Velodyne DD18 subwoofer and finally one for my Furutech e-TP60E Power Distributor. I had no problem whatsoever hooking them up in my system. Despite the basic idea of the LL DFPC to be plugged directly into the wall outlet, I have to say that using a good power box or strip supplied by a LL DFPC furthermore improves the performance.
In total I have spend $2276 on LessLoss power cables. I can honestly say that I have never before achieved so much sonic performance for that amount of money. The LossLess power cables have made a dramatic improvement and have taken my system to another level. Listening to music now makes a lot more fun. I don't know how these guys at LossLess, Louis and Vilmantas, managed to make the perfect power cable - but they did! My search for another power cable has ended with the LL DFPC.
To put it in short: The sonic performance of the LL DFPC is outstanding and the built quality of the cable - including the Oyaide 079 connectors - is of a very high standard.
Highly recommended!

My fellow audiobuddies.
Two weeks ago I tested the DFPC against the following cords in my system :
Virtual Dynamics Master series LE 2.0.
Virtual Dynamics Nite II .
Acrolink with Oyaide 004 ends.
Iego 029's with Oyaide 004 ends ( my second choice).
Furutech Evolution with upgraded piezo furutech ends.
Harmonic Technology.
Harmonix .
All the previous cords are great units on their own and outperforms almost everything out there no matter the price.
But never was so easy to realize the superiority of a component before.
Yours one gives the idea of a impresionist artist drawing the most beautiful and tiny notes with delicate care over a canvas meanwhile the others just were trying to make some music.
Anyone that has listened Lessloss DFPC before is very clear what Im talking about . The ones not blessed yet I must ressume it in very few adjetives :
Delicacy , pleasing, timbre accuracy ( my must in musical reproduction) and the best tight but generous bass I ever get in my system.
Electronics used for the test :
Audion Appollo vv52b monoblocks ,Audion SN SET , Canary Audio cd-100 player , Jadis J1 transport , Krell KPS 30i as Dac , JBL 4350 studio monitors.
Congratulations for such a product.
Sincerely Victor

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!).
