Lessloss Reference review?


A review on 6moons just came out and the latest, greatest revision by Lessloss got analyzed. What does the article really say? All I got is that 2K cord is better than a $1 cord? Is it just me but some of these reviews are pretty much useless?

As I described in previous posts (See, A New Superstar), I find these cords to be nearly transformative. I have tried many cords but somehow I find the LessLoss hits my sweet spot. Starngely, though Louis Motek, the designer, says they need hundreds of hours to burn in, when I inserted the fist Ref in my Wyetech Opal pre, the improvement was startling and immediate. When the second Ref was used on my PS Audio PWD MkII DAC, however, it sounded awful for the first 50 hours and only now are its true colors shining through. Listening to Tift Merrett's "Make You Happy," a quietly achingly beautiful song that absolutely requires a black background, took my breath away with this cord.

As far as the 6 moons review goes, here is its coda. What more praise do you want?

"In conclusion we have to say that the LessLoss DFPC Reference is completely true to its nomination [as a reference]. Once this cable is used in combination with a source, the complete system benefits more than a new piece of equipment will achieve.

N.B. I have no financial interest in LessLoss, direct or indirect.
The 6Moons review wording may have something to do with the fact the reviewers are Dutch and are techies more than audiophiles (they run IT Depts). There are glowing reviews of this PC in more conventional audio publications like Stereo Times, etc. (Check LessLoss website.) Inasmuch as these PC's are designed and made in Lithiuania, you are going to see more foreign reviews first.

I can only repeat that this cord is a revelation, and I say this when I am as cynical if not more so than most others about the Next Big Thing in audio. But sometimes it actually does happen.
