C-MARC™ production in full swing!

Dear esteemed Customers,

Many thanks to all of you who took the opportunity to pre-order the new C-MARC™ wire and cable products. You have enabled us to bridge our entire production over to the new technology without missing a beat. I know you want to see the final product but we are so busy at this point that we don't even have the opportunity to provide our professional photographer with finished product they could shine their beautiful studio lights on. Everything is being prepared for shipment to pre-ordering customers at this point.



 

What's it like to work with C-MARC™ cable?

C-MARC™ is not like ordinary cable, where you can tear off the plastic insulation in an instant with a wire stripper tool. With C-MARC™, you have to in a sense "create plastic" where you want stiffer protection. We carry this out by hand winding fine cotton thread and adding a few carefully placed drops of Cyanoacrylate glue. The cotton fibre self-amalgamates in reaction to the glue, forming something akin to an epoxy impregnated fibre laminate when it hardens. Thus, the prepared endings' contacts are cemented into place before we attach the connectors. It takes a skilled technician with a steady hand and a good hour or more of labor to prepare just a single ending. Not your most production friendly process, but one that is so hypnotically beautiful in resulting quality and maturity of tone, we are sure this is the winning formula for superb sound you'll want to stick with!



We have to make hundreds of these cables and we carry this out in manageable batches such as the one below.



C-MARC™ bulk wire has been ordered by several intending to implement them as an upgrade to their loudspeakers' existing internal wiring. In for a real treat!



Those awaiting C-MARC™ RCA interconnects are in for a really big experience: the noise floor is pretty much on par with with well implemented XLR, without the associated added circuitry necessary to balance/de-balance the line.



Solid copper, generously silver plated, heavy and very well made Xhadow RCA connectors are used in the C-MARC™ RCA interconnects.



The art of end preparation and electrical attachment is scrupulously supervised to ensure that maximum benefit is won through C-MARC™'s innovative auto-reduction of noise.





 

Shipping schedule, or: "So, how much longer do I have to wait?"

We began last week and have ramped up production this week. Some items are already prepared for shipment. Many orders are near completion at this point. The back log of pre-orders is pretty long, but we are beginning to glean our production tempo working with these new materials. Deliveries start in just a couple of days as we work down the roster. It may be that all pre-orders will have been shipped within 14-21 days!

Labor intensive production is putting it mildly. There are some 64 meters of C-MARC™ core braid per meter of Triax cable. By "core braid" I mean that the first braiding step is about 0.7mm of D=0.125mm wire! That is a LOT of intertwined, counter-polarized windings in a single meter of cable. Like never before.



Thank you all for your patience and support of this great new generation product! I know you will be most pleased with the sonic virtues which lay ahead. We take great pride in manufacturing each and every cable for each and every one of you. Thanks!

Regards,
