I just would like to give you a quick update. Your DFPC Original power cable is absolutely amazing. I think it's beginning to properly burn in. With every song I'm just blinking how amazing and big and clean and musical everything sounds.

Thank you once again!

I recently purchased the Sennheiser HD800 headphones and was blown away by the sound. However, after some time of listening I started picking out the inherent flaws of the HD800 headphones: weak bass, treble issues etc. During my investigation for solutions, I stumbled across the LessLoss web site. The site looked professional with very comprehensive information on all the technology behind their products. However, I must admit, I was skeptical going into the exercise of buying aftermarket power cords. My expectation was that they would make little to no difference and I would return them for a full refund. I'd even pre-arranged with LessLoss to cover my delivery and return shipping costs! Thanks to Louis Motek for agreeing to my dubious request. However, there is no way LessLoss will get my power cords back! Unless I decide to upgrade to the Signature series (which is a distinct possibility!).

My first impression was that there was something wrong with the sound. However, I soon realized that I was hearing clarity in the sound which I had never heard before! The depth of the bass was remarkable, the sound floor was almost undetectable, the vocals were crystal clear and the instruments were makings sounds I didn't realize they made! Thanks must go to Louis for his incredible turn around time (almost always within the hour) on all my email questions (particularly given the time difference here in Australia) and his expert and truthful advice along the way. I'm a LessLoss convert and will be taking a serious look at the other LessLoss products as a result. If only LessLoss made aftermarket headphone cables for the HD800s :( FYI: My current system - Cyrus CD T Transport; Rega Wolfson WM8742 DAC; Lehmann Audio Black Cube Linear Headphone Amp; and of course the Sennheiser HD800 headphones.

I am now the proud owner of 3 DFPC Originals. "Originally" (excuse the pun), I was intrigued by the unanimously positive reviews garnered by these cables. Not only did the professoinal reviewers love them, what really spoke to me was how many private users felt the same. Then, I took account of the fact that you NEVER see these cables for sale on the used Audio Equipment websites. There had to be something to it. Though these are no doubt one of the best deals going in HiFi, I still consider $600 for a PC a large expenditure. I had already heard for myself that power cables could make a positive difference in a system, so I didn't need convincing on that point. Like any other upgrade, I have to hear an improvement or I will either return or sell the product. I started out with just one DFPC Original and placed it on my DAC. Right away, I heard the improvement I was looking for and much more. It was one of the more significant contributions to good sound I had come across: there was some upper frequency hash removed, instruments appeared more immediate, and more clearly defined in both tone and 3-dimensional space. I also thought that bass had become quicker and tighter. I was sold! I continued reading up on the DFPC's as well as other LessLoss products, and decided that a full system approach would be best. That would mean 2 more Originals: one for my Bel Canto Pre1, and another for my Conrad Johnson MF2250 power amp. Those 2 cables just arrived this afternoon and are currently making beautiful music. I played the same music that I've been listening to recently in attempt to be as objective as possible in my assessment. What I heard was more of the same good qualities that came through with the first DFPC. With these cables on all my components, there was little chance that the high frequency junk the DFPC's aim to filter would make it through to my components. This made for a stark black background, hightened top end clarity which resulted in a sense that my system had better upper frequency extension, as well as an added measure of depth. I love the Oyaide 079 plugs and agree with Louis that they are the most neutral, less fatiguing plugs of the bunch. I should probably mention that I use a DIY balanced power conditioner and all 3 DFPC's are connected to it. Contrary to what I read in one listener's review, these cable work just fine with balanced AC. I have a large enough transformer to prevent dynamics from becoming restricted during transients. These 2 filtering approaches complement each other very nicely. I now have, by far, the best sound that's ever graced my living room. The only problem is that this has got me wondering what a LessLoss Firewall could do for me; they're said to be the equivalent of 100 DFPC's connected in parallel! If 3 of them make this big a difference, imagine what 103 would sound like...

I replaced Shunyata Python on my sources with LessLoss DFPC Original cables and I must say these are better than Pythons and beyond! In my system, I used them on a Lamm preamp and an Ayon CD2. I will definitely give one a chance on my Cary 805 AE amp soon, too, and Mr. Liudas (Louis Motek) is off the chart, it was truly a pleasure! Thank you.

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!

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

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.

"Check this out. This is what I'm using to power my amps. It's a power cable from a company called LessLoss Audio. They're a real high end boutique power cable company. They're pretty crazy. Look how thick it is and how braided it is. Ha! It's very braided! (laughs). You'd be amazed at what this does to your tone. It's kind of like a life vest for when you have really bad power. It gets rid of a whole bunch of buzz and stuff but also makes your tone more sparkly and your bass a little more punchy. Yeah. Kinda geeky, but it's a really cool thing!"

"Still using the same LessLoss Audio power cables. These things are pretty sick!"

"My name is Jordan Critz. I produced a record for a band named Green River Ordinance. I toured with them and used your power cables and was very impressed with them."

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.
