DFPC Series [Original]

Date Added: 01/31/2013 by Florin S. - Romania
The cable finally arrived at my home after one week.

I carried out initial tests with it, and indeed your cable is an astonishing one! It is a true performer, and it is exactly what I was looking for, for years!! It gave me better dynamics, better resolution, better control, a quieter background, an improved soundstage and imaging, naturalness (natural timbres) and correct tonality, musicality and equilibrium. This cable improved the sound in all the areas that I could think of. It was like an important component upgrade and I'm looking forward to replace all my other current power cables with your cables.

This is indeed a truly wonderful cable and your vision/philosophy of the sound coincide with my own from what I'm hearing. I was looking for something like this for some years, not being satisfied in my search, blaming sometimes the 'active' components (speakers, amps, players etc.) and/or sometimes cables, or the lack of synergy. But now, for the first time I'm in the right direction, and it is amazing to see how close to natural and close to the correct sound an electronic component can sound - but a decent one of course - with the proper and the right power cable (the LessLoss), and how the equilibrium between performance (translated in terms like resolution, dynamics, soundstage etc.) and musicality (so not mere 'signals' or just sounds) emerge in a natural way. For sure, there is still a lot of room for improvement in my system, but now I find that the electronics themselves are quite OK if they were made with a decent conceptual design, implementation and components and proper attention to details, in trying to replicate the true, natural sound and not a colored one. Thanks again and keep it up, making outstanding and valuable audio products!

This is my system at the moment:

- speakers - Sonus Faber Cremona M
- source (player) - Simaudio Moon CD3.3 with XLR
- preamp - Sugden Masterclass LA-4
- power amp - Pass Labs X150
- cables: Kimber Monocle X (speakers), Kimber Select 1111 and Neotech NEI3101 (interconnects),
- power cables - DFPC Original, PS Audio Statement SC, PS Audio Statement and Vincent Audio.
- passive filter - PS Audio Quintessence (used only for the player).

Another interesting thing that I found after some tests during these weeks with the new DFPC Original, is that my passive PS Audio filter is changing the natural timbres and the 'organic flow' of the music. I mean, until now, on all my other systems/combinations it gave me better control, resolution, refinement etc, and in the last combination (still prior to having the Lessloss DFPC) I used it only on the source (because I already detected its not so good influences on the preamp & amp), but now with the DFPC Original included in the system, I found it even more obvious that the filter is giving an unnatural signature - an electronic/digital 'color' to the sound. When pulling it out from the system, and leaving only the power cables in the power outlets, the naturalness came back more clearly, like changing from a digital playback to an analogue one. Don't get me wrong, these kind of power filters/conditioners can improve in some directions and in some certain systems/combinations, but when you are going closer and closer to natural and real sound (thanks to the DFPC), it turns out that besides the beneficial effects, it adds these changes to the timbres, this digital haze, and it also limits the dynamics. I'm thinking seriously now to use only the cables directly from the outlets.

Thanks and I wish you all the best.

I am pretty impressed and satisfied with purchase of DFPC Original.

It does exactly what it says on the tin! Coupled with my Einstein integrated amp, I am able to hear enhancement with a more relaxed, natural listening experience while occasional harshness in tembre seems to be disappeared.

Well done in creating such an amazing product and effort in customizing the 90deg IEC end to suit my need.

Thank you

Tested Headphone system:

Computer
Digital Coax
Audio - GD Reference 7.1 DAC
Zana Deux Pre-headphone AMP with Mullard 195X ECC35/6SL7 (Brown Base)
Audio Technica ATH-W3000ANV
Sennheiser HD800
AKG Acoustics K-701
Audio Technica AD2000

Describing the sound from a headphone system as a "dramatic change" is often an overstatement when dealing with marginal upgrades, and quantifying it is even harder. But I would be pressed by my experience so far with the DFPC Original to say (switching from another similar priced cable) I was not disappointed by it at all. Even if it did not give me as much acute sound characteristic "shock" or "instant wow factor" as I perceived from other cables, it does address greater depth in dimension, transparency and smooth listening experience in a balanced way rather than bumping a certain perspective in the big picture, without a specific "wow" factor.

If you really want one word, it's more - Natural.

For those who want to just sit back and listen to their music, I would find it hard for you to miss its overall fluid dynamics without even needing to perform any "audiophiliac eye-popping scrutiny". The magic naturally plays itself the longer you listen, and I'm sure one would greatly appreciate its relaxed presentation in extended listening sessions. I found focusing on imaging to be really comfortable to my ears with this power cord.

There are several qualities adding up here in these cables. Bottom line? In a nut shell, it's a great cable for the price.

Lately I got the DFPC Original power cord to go with my DIY Belden/IeGo cords.

I put the power cord on a FirstWatt F4 amp I have had on loan for a while. Well... I have to admit Louis was right. ;) I was a little skeptical as many times things have been claimed for this and that power cord, but in the end what I now have is at least as good as those claims.

I think the biggest difference is that the soundstage cleared up - and with that the voices, the delicacy of instruments, took a leap forward. This may sound like small improvements, but the whole entirety was quite a bit more natural and life-like. Very nice. =) Only one thing that maybe could have some more is the bass slam/weight. But jury is still out on that one, and of course with heavier bass the other spectrum may suffer. But the cable is still running in, so things may still change a little.

Great! - I may have to buy one or two more... ;)

Now that both the DFPC Originals used between my cd player and amplifier are probably fully burned-in and that the Furutech eTP-60E and the third DFPC Original are giving excellent result, I wanted to inform you that I am indeed very pleased with these products.

I wanted to thank you for excellent cables but also, for a great customer’s service.

As a customer, this (and a very interesting and informative website) was part of the pleasure of discovering your products.

Your availability and knowledge and in my case, your patience with probably very silly questions, make it a pleasure to purchase and use your products.

I will not attempt to paraphrase what other reviewers, professional of customers, have written about your cables.

These are a major improvement over what I had used before. It is clear, audible, obvious, affecting positively the entire range, from top to bottom.

I simply don’t understand these endless debates with people pretending cables don’t make a difference. They do and yours are better than the ones I used before. Period.

Furthermore, and as stated, the combination of Lessloss and Furutech eTP-60E is indeed working extremely well, in fact much better than the combination of your cables and an expensive power conditioner (Audience) or any other combination of expensive cables and a power conditioner that I have tried with my system.

Thank you.

I am a customer at Best Buy Magnolia in North America.

I'm using the LessLoss cables for an HTPC (a computer), and my setup is as follows:

- bowers & wilkins CM1 and CMC
- bowers & wilkins sub
- pioneer VSX-42

I wasn't able to purchase the Reference Series because of the limited room of my setup, but it was absolutely amazing how connecting the cable to the source (e.g. the computer) was able to dynamically increase my bass by 2x; the sound is softer, but clearer. Other brands who sell power cables focus on Rhodium, and Palladium for their power connectors without paying attention to the tonal characteristic of the sound. Other brands also over-hype Silver in their audio cables. I haven't compared the burn-in characteristic since I recently got them, but I know that I used to have a problem with my subwoofer because it would sound muddy despite having a reasonably good setup. Just by connecting it to the source, the bass, and the entire range of sound became more audibly better as an objective term, and I'm just using the standard power cable for the sub.

I highly recommend these cables for everyone. I'll be interested in the Reference Series in the future.

Looking on all the cables coming out from my power filter some months ago, I decided to start replacing my power cables before anything else. I had been to a two hours demo at the main Hi-Fi shop in Norway testing different power cables in to and out from Isotek power filters. The impact of different power cables on the sound was obvious. Despite the impact of a sound power cable, I left the shop with headache and a feeling that something was wrong with the sound and timbre when the sales man connected the most expensive Nordost power cables my budget could afford and a little more. The timbre was hard and lean. Instruments did not sound natural. I didn´t think more about it until I came across an incredible recording with Vytautas Sriubikis playing the Sarabande from Bach's Partita for Flute in the Baroque Church of St. Catherine on the Lessloss Web site a month later. The Flute Timbre took me straight into Lessloss sound philosophy and the dynamics of skin filtering.

THE LESSLOSS DFPC ORIGINAL AND A NICE FAREWELL

Tonight I´m sitting here removing the last Nordost cable from my power filter. The last Nordost is sold. So I want to do a last test. What if if you have only one audio power cable connected to your source? After listening with only the Nordost Brahma which I thought was my best power cable, I replaced it with the Lessloss Original. I was a bit surprised. Only one Lessloss Original to my Dac gives better sound than the Nordost Brahma, even better than connecting the Lessloss Original to my Auralic Aries streamer and the Nordost Brahma to my Vega Dac. How can the cheapest Lessloss Power Cable do this magic alone? Instrument seperation is better, sound and soundstage is more focused and dissolved and the timbre is more organic.

So tonight I´m listening to the Bach Sarabande with my only Lessloss cable waiting for more to come. The headache is gone. Thanks to Louis Motek for making real stuff, not the type dreams are made on. And thanks for your incredible service, answering all my questions any time. I´m a happy customer.

All the best,
Einar Magnussen

DFPC Series [Original] [Signature]

Date Added: 07/01/2018 by Vladimir Markovic
I first replaced the AnsuzsX power cord (600 Euro) with the DFPC Original just on Lindemann Musicbook 15 and every aspect of sound instantly became better. Missing frequencies of sound powered by the Ansuz become alive at once. That was just one thing, everything else sounded more natural, balanced and organic (without a single exception). Immediately after that I purchased a DFPC Signature which arrived in just 3 days....while I was waiting for Signature to arrive I could comfirm that the DFPC Original sounded better than the full range of any WireWorld power cables, significantly better (some of them are even 3 times the price). Then I had a chance to compare it with an Ansuz P. There was no point at all, the DFPC Original was significantly superior to that one, too.

When the DFPC Signature arrived all these differences became even more obvious, the Signature sounds like a dream compared to the WireWorld Platinum Electra 7 (around 1600 Euro). The difference was very great in favor of the Signature in terms of resolution and naturalness, and the image space was both deeper and wider...amazing!

I have tried the Signature in my friends' systems and it improved all of them by miles (except one where the DFPC Original was for some reason a better fit).
