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 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.

While I hesitate to post it, I wish I had been at The 2nd AE Super HI End Audio Show on July 12, 2014. Read the details of what was in the system and what the sound was like. Read: http://audioexotics.hk/index.php?option=com_simplestforum&view=postlist&forumId=1&parentId=11635&topic=true&Itemid=53 These exotic power cords apparently did the job.
