C-MARC™ Entropic Process RCA interconnect production progress

Dear esteemed Customers,

Soon we will be releasing pricing and upgrade offers for the new C-MARCEntropic Process RCA interconnect cable. We are making good headway in pre-production, ensuring that we will be well in stock of all needed parts come order fulfillment time.

What else can you expect from LessLoss other than meticulous attention to detail? To show you how much pride and dedication we invest in every detail of production, I'd like to share some more images from production.

After the Wenge hardwood has been cut, drilled, lathed, pre-sanded, fine-sanded, and polished by hand, these then go on to be laser engraved. One by one, the chucks are inserted over a metallic rod and then bolted down finger tight.

Then the laser is focussed onto the surface of the hardwood. After this has been checked, a computer controlled process begins, synchronizing the turning of the chuck in specific degree steps in co-ordination with the high energy laser beam which travels from side to side.

Smoke rises from the wood as sparks fly and the artwork emerges in high focus to reveal a crisp, clear image.

Each part is subsequently inspected to adhere to our most strict standards.

On directionality

Each chuck, on both ends of the cable, will have this arrow engraved onto it (see following image). The cable must be so installed that the arrows all point from the source device, through the cable itself, towards the destination device.

It cannot be emphasized enough how important this is. The entire core tenet of the Entropic Process relies on knowledge of the final cable's direction of signal propagation. If unheeded by the user, much painstaking effort we placed in all parts of this complex process will go to waste.

Damage as such is not done to the cable in case the user sends signal down it in the improper direction. But the sonic richness will not develop according to plan, and sound stage depth will be lacking.

If this cable is used in the improper direction, when corrected, it will take approximately 3-4 times the amount of time the signal passed improperly for the cable to even approach the initial state it was in prior to initial incorrect use. Further burn-in shall occur thereafter and eventually good results will be achieved. But it is important to heed proper direction upon first installation in order to reap the very best possible outcome from our design.

There is so much technology packed into that little arrow, it will be well worth your effort to double and triple check it before reclining for that very special experience.

Next to the arrow, one will see our C-MARC™ logo, which stands for Common-Mode Auto-Rejecting Cable.

The Entropic Process is one of our proprietary technologies. Developed over several years, it serves to create massively sped-up burn-in effects which far outperform anything one can achieve using even specialty burn-in equipment. This is in fact not just one process which a finished product undergoes. On the contrary, the Entropic Process begins even before initial cable construction begins. We must know in advance whether the cable will be regular or Entropic Process from the very outset, and much attention to detail must go into every stage of production from the very beginning in order to carry it out. These stages have not only to do with determining and maintaining directionality of the cable, but also heeding the phase of the signal at all times.

These processes continue all the way up to the very end of production of this cable. It takes well more than 3x the time to make a single stereo pair of RCA Entropic Process interconnects than it does to make the regular C-MARC™ version, which even by itself is already a great achievement in the realm of competing audio cable technologies.

The C-MARC™ logo is our promise to you that the noise will be unbelievably low, and, unlike in most such cases, that the dynamics will not be impeded by the achievement of this super low noise. With C-MARC™ we have managed to get the best of both worlds, with no compromise the ear can latch on to. This cable boasts a 2.3mm^2 total conductive cross section for the in-phase signal, as well as the same for the ground return line. This results in far higher conductivity even than most household power cords!

After all has been inspected with a keen eye for any irregularities, the final hand polishing takes place, removing any residual fine soot from the laser engraving process.

We don't mechanize this finishing off the chucks. Hands on is the best way. This ensures everything is looked over and results in something both we and you can truly be proud of. We wouldn't want it any other way.

Behold! Another beautiful part, from our hands to yours.
