I only met Louis Motek from Lessloss three days ago @ an audio Friends home along with 3 other guys from our audio club. We also had a reviewer there as well from Stereo Times. We got to listen to the Lessloss signature power cords and the Blackbody. Both of these products worked very well. My review is below mainly about the Blackbody. Lessloss does not deserve the bashing above. Instead they should be commended for paving the way for us to get closer to the sound of live music.
We first put in 6 signature power cords.
1 on the Meridian 861-preamp
1 on the Marantz UD 9004-source
2 on the Vacuum State mono tube amps
2 on the sub portion of the Avantgarde Duo's
This was a very large change. This went from a very hard to listen to system to very smooth and open. But the problem was the only good power cables in the set up were the Virtual Dynamics Master power cables on Source and the Avantgarde subs. All other power cables were just better than stock power cables.
This left little time to spend quality time with the Blackbody. But we put just one Blackbody on the source and immediately there was an obvious change in the sound that everybody could easily hear. The depth in sound stage and ambient information stood out for me. But something was not quite right maybe a little brighter and thinner. I believe that maybe it started to reveal other issues in the system. I do know there is a ton of other equipment in this system with all the automation and theater gear. The dedicated lines are not hooked up yet. Still through all this I heard great potential but the evening ended. I do wish we had more time to figure the issues out. The good news was Louis agreed to bring the Lessloss Blackbody to my home for us to play with the next day.
The next day we had decent time to listen to some music and the Blackbody. My system is tweaked out to the max and is very revealing of any change. First we put 1 Blackbody 4 inches away facing the side of the MBL 1621 Transport. I was not prepared for this change and it was within just the first few seconds of listening. The best way that I could describe the sound was the same if you ever listen to your system late at knight as apposed to the middle of the day. Just cleaner with more sense of space. We then put a second one facing the other side of the MBL 1621 Transport. A bit more of that same quality came through. We then added two more 1 each facing the side of the Mark Levinson No33 mono amps. I had my mind set thinking it was going to get brighter and more detailed. But the sound just filled out more with a more relaxed presentation. What I mean is the quite spots between notes filled in with ambient information and just gave me a better sense of the space the music was recorded in. Next we put two more one on top of each speaker facing down right where the voice coil of the top mid range would be. This was the largest improvement yet, thou this just could have been because it was last. The overall presentation became much more cohesive. The other thing that really stood out was the depth of the sound stage went much deeper than I have ever heard before. The sound was much more 3D. We put a couple more facing the already treated side of the Mark Levinson No33 side of the amps. I noted a little improvement maybe with a little more moving around of these Blackbody boxes i am sure we could have made more improvement . But in my simple system I think six was the magic number. I will eventually get six of these things but business is slow right now. I will probably buy just one at a time as money allows.
This was just as big of a change if not larger than any tweak I have done this far. Then again it could be because it was the last tweak that I did. For me in my audio system the money for the Lessloss Blackbody is well worth the investment. Thank you Louis for pioneering the way of audio.
