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.

Budburma,
Thanks for the clarification and update.
I appreicate it. Sounds awesome!
Could Be Interesting Reading :-)
I'm interested in more information as the PC breaks in and is used on different gear.
Neal,
Please keep us informed regarding further break-in and the effect of the second LessLoss DFPC Reference PC including what equipment you place it in.
Budburma,
What length PC did you buy?
Which type of plug did you go with?
What piece of equipment are you using it with, sorry right now I can't place AMR?
Thanks...
Jebsmith73,
To my knowledge the only place you can purchase the power cord from is the manufacturer and the retail price is not discounted. If I'm wrong then someone please correct me?
Mccondon, I just received a new X-20 demo power cord yesterday (6/5) and just put it on my CDP. So far I am impressed, but I agree all power cords, interconnects and speaker cables are somewhat system dependent.
I would love to compare the X-20 to the HD P-4 and the Lessloss Reference power cord. Please keep us posted on this Forum!
Anyone own a HD P-4 and/or the Lessloss Reference power cord living some where close to Perrysburg, Ohio 43551 and want me to bring the X-20 over for a listen and comparison in your system?
I agree with Budburma, the Triode Wire Labs 7 Plus power cord is very good and costs about $500. In my opinion it competes with several power cords that cost 4 X the dollar amount, and it's made in the USA. I like the way it's built and the look/feel factor.

As Ozzy had mantioned the The Mad Scientist “NEO” Power cord from New Zealand is also very good, costs about $500 and also competes with several power cords that cost 4 X the dollar amount. Looks/feel wise I'm not as pleased.

I have not as of yet directly compared the two (7+ / NEO) head to head.
I'd love to hear the LessLoss DFPC Reference.
