Echo's End

Date Added: 03/07/2016 by Tony-in-Oz
FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
After an impatient wait of 3 months, I have finally got the Echo's End DAC in my hands.I believe I'm one of the first to receive it.
Right out of the super space-age case the sound was compressed and heavy as would be expected but after only a few hours of play, it started to open up. Louis has indicated to me that it would take a good 3 to 4 weeks of continuous play for the DAC to be fully burnrd-in. Now, after only about 32 hours of play over a few days, I am already impressed with the uncluttered, clean, balanced and natural sound with little hint of colouring or noise. What I find most impressive is the marked reduction of excessive sibilance from certain "bright" recordings, the relaxed yet natural character of the bass , deep and wide sound field with a dark silent background despite the early days. However,there is still a detectable but minor degree of "heaviness" and a little brittleness in the the top end which, I am confident, will be resolved when fully burned-in. There is still a long way to go before the full potential is realised and I anticipate much more significant improvement in the weeks to come, like the other LessLoss products already in use in my system. Experience with products like the use of V-Caps in audio components suggests a full burn-in period of 400-600 hours is on the cards.

I was already very happy with my system before I had the LessLoss Firewall Modules and LessLoss DFPC Signature Power Cables installed on every component in both of my modest systems and was initially surprised how much they had contributed to the significant improvement to the sound. One of my audiophile friends was so impressed by them when we tested them on his system that he has since purchased them.

I'm no tech expert but fortunate to possess a musical background, having played the violin and piano, listening to classical music since early childhood and having enjoyed the fabulous concerts and operas during the many years living in London. This has helped in discerning between "true live natural sound" and "electronic sound". For me the ENJOYMENT and APPRECIATION of good music is the prime objective, not the hype of owning the most expensive audio equipment to brag about.

I could not be more impressed with the professional manner and prompt service in which Louis runs LessLoss - always ready to answer any queries in an honest manner without the air of aloof arrogance we sometimes encounter with some so-called "experts". Thank you Louis.

Firewall Module

Date Added: 03/03/2016 by Chris Hong from Malaysia
This is an absolutely wonderful product I ever come across with such price. I ordered four units, received two and the other two on it way. By using one for CD transport and the other on power amp, my system is like giving a new life, it sound totally different. With tight solid bass, sweet vocal, great dimensional sound stage and depth. Amazing, amazing.

Highly recommended.

Homage to Time

Date Added: 02/18/2016 by Carl Dodds
I am a real fan of LessLoss products. I made a decision three years ago to change the cables in my system as I was converting all signal cables from single ended to balanced. At the time, it would have costed me thousands of dollars to change the cables in my system. An AudigoN member recommended that I do some research on LessLoss products. He said there is no other company that can provide the value to performance ratio like LessLoss. I took a blind leap of faith and started purchasing power cords, speaker cables and balanced signal cables.

I was changing my cabling from Stealth Indra to LessLoss and your cables maintained the same high level of performance but at a fraction of the cost. LessLoss allowed me to get off of the "Cable Merry Go Round" and I never looked back.

Just recently, I reconfigured my system and it allowed me to use shorter speaker cables (2 pairs). I contacted Louis to order new Anchorwave cables; he informed me that the Anchorwaves were no longer being offered. Louis said the Homage to Time series is now being offered in place of Anchorwaves which are less expensive and have solid core conductors versus the Litz conductors. I reluctantly went forward and purchased the speaker cables. The cables were changed dramatically in appearance and construction. Homage to Time to me looked like a scrawny little cable in comparison to the Anchorwaves and I was very skeptical that I would like these new cables. I only installed one set on the right channel expecting the worst case scenario. Wow, I was so wrong about these cables; it was like a veil had been lifted through every frequency. The sound was even more detailed and the clarity was at a level never experienced in my system! Needless to say, it didn't take me long to install the other set on the left channel. I then purchased one of the Homage to Time balanced signal cables; again not expecting any major change. It was like repeating the speaker cable; very detailed with great clarity. I immediately ordered four more Homage to Time balanced signal cables and I am anxiously waiting for delivery. Once again, Louis has provided better performing cables at a lower price. LessLoss customer for life!

Anchorwave Speaker Cables

Having an all LessLoss cabled system (speaker, power and IC) was one the best decisions I made three years ago. Going to the Homage to Time Speaker and IC's so far has been very rewarding. Great Products and Great Company!

Firewall Module

Date Added: 01/26/2016 by Gordon
Just wanted to add to my January 9th review. Yes, the TV picture is wonderful! Finally got the "big rig" fully back up and running... all powered by the new Firewall modules. These replaced the original Firewall modules which I have used for more than a year and loved. And, just as everybody has said, the new version is definitely better... significantly better than the originals.

My recommendation... don't even hesitate... just order some and try in your system.

Firewall Module

Date Added: 01/09/2016 by Gordon
For video ------- ASTONISHINGLY GOOD!!!!!!!!

I haven't gotten the new Firewalls into "the good system" yet, but did manage to install a pair to feed the TV. Absolutely wonderful. REALLY REALLY AMAZING! A month of burn-in (and I had them cryogenically treated) these new generation Firewalls make a huge improvement. The colors on the TV are now exceptionally deep and saturated......... almost 3D. The Sony TV was very good before but now watching movies is almost a visceral experience. And yes, the audio is better so I can hardly wait to finish the upgrades to the big system and get it back up and running.
I am so glad I bought a pile of the Firewalls during the initial offering.
GOOD JOB Louis

Firewall Module

Date Added: 01/03/2016 by Alan Carruth
I have been a LessLoss enthusiast since December 2008 having tried every product Louis has offered all with great success. I thought I was through "upgrading" my system (it sounds fabulous as it is) but was excited to try the NEW Firewall Module. Louis built me a custom power distribution box with 7 Firewall Modules and 6 Oyaide duplex outlets. After 250 hours of play time, I am astounded by the improvement in the sound!!!! My system is capable of ultra-high resolution so any changes are easy to hear. It is quite a rush to experience the 3D space and near perfect reproduction of both instrument and voice. I look forward to the listening experience as the Firewall Module's sound matures. Thanks you Louis!!!!!!

DFPC Series [Reference]

Date Added: 01/02/2016 by Casper
I have owned the Shunyata Zitron Anaconda & LessLoss Reference DFPC power cable at the same time. After comparing them on my Devialet D200 system, I observed that the LessLoss power cable was much better than the Shunyata power cable. The sound is more solid, more dynamic, more clear, there are more details & it is more musical. Higher C/P ratio compared with Shunyata cables (2/3 price only).

Highly recommend for all Devialet users.
