Tel wire vs Lessloos


Anyone compare these two Power cords?

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.

I prefer the TelWire to the LessLoss, the above observation by Shreod is really good. So is the insightful review by David. The somewhat lean characteristics of TelWire seem aggrevated with components that draws higher current, but Chris of TelWire just launched a high current verison of the PC which hopefully will ameliorate the issue.
Obviously based on the review I wrote, I ultimately preferred the TelWire to the LessLoss.I did not experience that bloom that Ted is experiencing so it will be interesting to see if it remains. At first I thought it was less detailed then the LessLoss however what I realized was a few things:
1. I needed to turn the volume up slightly louder with the TelWire than the LessLoss and all detail immediately returned.
2. The LessLoss had more of a forward/attacking sound which at first I liked. but once I went back to it after the TelWire I found it fatiguing.
3. I find the TelWire more open on the top end.

The TelWire really added that effortless analog sound that I have stated in my writeup.
I have found them work well together. I use LessLoss on Transporter and TelWire on the preamp. LessLoss seems to work well with digital equipment as it filters out digital noises and reduces them back onto AC line.
