A New Superstar Power Cord

I am not wont to gush over audio components or cables. I have been involved in audiomania too long and have seen too many stars of today evaporate the next week. But I do have to gush about a PC I just bought new for full price -- the LessLoss DFPC Reference. I have no relationship whatsoever with LessLoss, other than having owned the original DFPC and then a few Sigs.

20 minutes out of the box, connected to my preamp, and I am very impressed -- and after some 40 years as an audiophile, I do not impress easily. More to follow after I experiment with different sources and longer burn-in, but there is an IMMEDIATELY audible sense of greater quietude, more natural and "present" voices, and greater, more organic instrumental detail. And the LessLoss Ref cord replaced one of the stars in the PC firmament, which lists for 2.5x the price. This could be a game changer. I thought the DFPC Signature was a great PC, but the Ref is an entirely new dimension. It is also a physically beautiful cord, and aesthetics count. Kudos to Louis Motek., the designer, who also is a perfect gentleman to deal with.

For $1,824, I feel a bit larcenous! I need to calm down.

I did not say I heard them!, I said they are the new super star power cords based on what I have heard from Tara labs, these cords to be better than the standard cobalt power cord I have would be to me astounding!, do you have exsperience with top tier Tara labs power cords?, If you do not,why are you commenting to the begin with?, LOL!, I own,, the previous top power cable from Tara, now they have three new suppose to be better cords, and with my exsperience, Tara labs has never introduced a cable they claim is better, and the cable did not perform to expectations, that has NEVER happened in the History of their company!

you can get some deals on used Tara labs "The One" interconnects and speaker cables here on audiogon from time to time, this is a good all around performance cable, there is better, but this cable is really good and musical.

Jafox, I am not going to sale none of the Tara labs cables I own, LOL!, I collect them, The reason I said ride off into the sunset, I do not know about you, I plan to get off the merry go round of audio when I obtain all that I need for the main system, The reality is when I am satiesfied believeing I own One of the best systems to my ears, I'm done!, does not matter what the next best cable or componet is, I rather spend my money at that point, Else where!,I am formost a builder, Been one of the best I know of, I spend less money and get better results than most people out there, regardless If my cables retail for HUGE money, I never pay retail for anything audio, cheers Jafox
