Tel wire vs Lessloos

The TelWire has more extension in the highs and sounds "clearer" for lack of a better word. The image it creates is larger.

The Lessloss has a slightly warmer quality with less top end extension. The image is somewhat smaller. It is "more forgiving" since it has less detail.

This was my perception of the two.

One is not better than the other. They're just different.

I'm running a LEssloss on my Modwright Trsnporter right now. David (rydenfan) sent me one of his demo Tel Wire's and it arrived today. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, David did a nice comparo:

I compared the Lessloss PC to the Tel Wire and preferred the Tel Wire. Lessloss was a bit quieter, but darker as well. Tel Wire is neutral and open. Also more flexible. I currently use 3 Tel Wire PCs in my system.

BTW - Both Tel Wire and Lessloss have introduced new models since I did the comparison. I have only compared the original models from each.

Wow, so far I have the exact opposite (exact!) impression than Tvad...but it's only 1 hour into the switch, which for one minute, of course, turned off power to the Transporter and it's tubes. The Tel Wire seems warmer and almost slightly boomy in the lower midrange (hence the warmth comment) and therefore slightly less detailed too. hwoever, if this tubbiness or boominess subsides within the next 24 hours my impressions may chnage drastically. I liked the slight edge or sharpness that the Lessloss brought to my tube modded source. Stay tuned...
