for the Power Cable

For 35 years I have involved myself in our hobby. My primary focus has been on my 2 channel system and only recently have I invested in higher quality video.
After playing with power cables over years, I stumbled across Lessloss and became intrigued by the number of endorsements and reviews I read. If the DFPC had not been raved about by mainstream reviewers I may have let myself become cynical based on the consumer reviews completed as part of what I suspect was a product launch program. To this point I had bought into the belief that power cords make a difference but they were not "a component" and were system dependant. The DFPC has changed that paradigm and I never thought that I'd gladly endorse a $600 power cord to place on a $1000 piece of equipment. It really is that good and I've taken the attitude that it is a lifetime product that will be with me as electronics fail or are replaced.

I purchased one cable and first tried it on my Sonic Frontiers Line 3SE+ with Valvo tubes. Immediately I was struck with the new size of my soundstage. There was a profound power to the music without the typical sacrifice of a loss of micro details. In fact the details were clearer without any "edge". The noise floor had definitely been lowered. When I audition new products in my system I tend to strain to hear differences in detail retrieval. I didn't have to do that with the DFPC; it was all just there and most importantly, balanced - no frequency was making its presence noticed at the detriment of another. After about 30 minutes I noticed that both of my feet were tapping the floor during every song. For me this is the most important factor - involvement in the music and the feeling of participating in it!

Since that original purchase I have sourced all of my components with DFPCs and after each installation heard new improvements. My phono preamp is like a new product with improved pace, strength, and detail.

I mentioned earlier that I recently began to invest more money into video reproduction. I now have a 58" plasma TV and an Onkyo 876 receiver. I bought the receiver because of the Silicon Optix HQV video processing chip that is much better than what is in the Panasonic TV. I have been astounded by what the DFPC did for the video processing; everything improved including better blacks, contrast, detail, colour saturation, and naturalness (less digital looking and more film like).

On top of the product quality is the exceptional customer service from Louis Motek at Lessloss. He is in that rare breed of company owners (like Rogue Audio) who demonstrate humility along with a customer centric approach and make the purchasing experience a pleasure.
