The Telwire cord needs about 150 hours of break-in before it reaches its full potential in your system. I currently have one on my refurbished Pilot 17W integrated. I don't have any experiences with the Lessloss. I actually veered away from it as I've had previous unpleasant listening experiences with cords containing filtration materials, i.e, ferrite,etc. But until I actually someday try the Lessloss somewhere in my system, I can't make any comments on its performance. Like Tvad recommended, buy a good used one on Agon and if it doesn't gel in your system, you can hopefully resell and get your money back. As to the Telwire, its sonic characteristics are very musical with a tonal balance leaning a tad to the lean side. Until the Telwire makes it through its burn-in, initial sound is recessed midrange, bloaty, rolled-off bass and rolled-off highs. After 150-200 hours of play, it begins to balance out its spectrum and the mids open up nicely. It mates well with my slightly warm push-pull EL84 amp, though. Try both and tell us what you think.
