C-MARC loudspeaker cable, stereo pair; C-MARC RCA unbalanced signal cable, stereo pair; C-MARC Classic Power Cable
Date Added: 12/12/2020 by Harold
I have looked at many designs of high end cables. None of them stand out in sense and simplicity like the C-MARC cables do. All the variables that influence sound (capacity, inductance, skin effect, strand jumping, dielectric constants etc.) are optimised in the most elegant solution I can think of.
Having made me very curious I bought some about 3 months ago, starting with one Entropic Process Power Cord, a pair of interconnects and standard C-Marc loudspeaker cables.
I was so impressed that I decided it really pays off to feed all the equipment with Entropic Process Power Cords.
Most impressive is that all the glare and aggressiveness in the sound I was used to in some recordings completely disappeared. And this without any loss of detail and speed.
Violins that are meant to sound fierce, like in Shostakovich’s string quartet no.8, can sound too harsh in a resolving system, even when played with the best equipment.
I love the energy of Isabelle Faust but superimposed with high frequency noise it is hurting my ears. Listen to her solo in Beethoven’s violin concerto and you will know what I am talking about. Jimi Hendrix surely would be impressed.
During crescendos of large choirs it may sound like the microphones were clipping during the recording, resulting in nastiness in the high notes.
Recently I upgraded the speaker cables to the C-Marc Entropic Speaker Cables. They take away that last bit of glare and let you experience the instruments and voices in its pure essence. Music sounds so true to life, it is very difficult to put in words. You can feel the instruments themselves bringing the air into motion.
C-Marc cables don’t add or emphasise “a taste” to the sound. C-Marc cables are like Tai Chi masters, they just let the energy pass through without wasting or blocking it.
Equipment: Streamer Melco N10, DAC Sonnet Morpheus, Amp Bakoon AMP-13R, Speakesr Bastanis Matterhorn mk2. Other cables: Fidata ethernet, Curious Evolution USB.

Firewall Module; C-MARC Classic Power Cable
Date Added: 12/04/2020 by Colin Gray
[Power distributor with onboard latest technology Firewall and Entropic Process C-MARC hook-up wire throughout]
The Distributor has been in my system for about a week and a half now.
I decided to swap over from my existing powerblock in two stages, first being the front-end components supplied by the Entropic Process C-MARC power cords, but leaving all the amps fed by my old cables/powerblock. The improvements were obvious and along the same lines as the Firewall for Loudspeakers. A couple of days later I swapped my old power cords to the new Schuko plugs and fed the amps from the new Distributor. Again, the improvement was obvious.
Given that my system has so much LessLoss conditioning already, each of which brought about significant improvement, the fact that the Distributor has filtered out so much more noise is both remarkable and disturbing. Whilst I am truly impressed by the new sound, I am concerned just how much further one could go!
This was an expensive upgrade, but the result is simply fantastic and I know from experience (and despite the Entropic Process) that it will still improve over time.
One thing that I have noticed and is worthy of mention, and more apparent after this upgrade than any other, is that so much ‘noise’ (that I previously did not know was there) has been removed from my system that it now requires quite a bit more volume on the pre-amp.
Congratulations once again to you and the LessLoss team.

C-MARC Classic Power Cable
Date Added: 11/05/2020
I’d like to think my current system ticks all the boxes audio reviewers write about: speed, detail, soundstage, etc etc etc. It was and is all there. But the LessLoss cables took it all a step further whilst making the music sound SO MUCH more natural. There’s the physical sensation of the subtle vibrance of matter itself, as if touching the instruments with your ears. Also most striking I found the clearer ambient information in the recordings. It makes the whole setup materialise in front of you. Tiny details that were there before but floating without spacial clues suddenly fell into place. The lowered threshold truly pays off.
I started with only a Firewalled Entropic Process power cable to the DAC. That only was already a significant improvement. Then I knew I had made a very sensible investment. After several weeks I couldn’t resist the temptation to order two more Entropic Process power cords, for streamer and amp.
If you have a highly resolving system and plan for a serious upgrade of a component or two, I strongly suggest you first upgrade to LessLoss entropic cables. Not only will you be amazed by the sound improvement due to the cables themselves, it also will reveal much clearer what components are capable of.
Of course there will be no miracles ridding the horrors of bad recordings and masterings.
I never understood what it meant: a silent cable. It sounded silly. Of course cables are silent. They don’t make a sound like a softly humming tube amp with 100 dB speakers. Now I do.

C-MARC Classic Power Cable; Firewall Module; C-MARC Digital Cable
Date Added: 08/28/2020 by René, Copenhagen Denmark
Thank you, Mr. Chef Cook
You made me literally cry, tears pouring down both cheeks during “Sunrise” from Kingdom Come’s “Galactic Zoo Dossier”, and I loved crying from emotion over the wonderful transitions going from the quiet “Simple Man” into the crescendo madness of “Night of the Pigs” finally conquered by the most beautiful Ode to the gentle but overwhelming powers of the Morning Sun, I have ever heard on any record. Not since I heard “Sunrise” for the first time back in ’72 have I been touched to such a degree.
Everything due to my new LL C-MARC Entropic Processing distributor and my new C-MARC digital cable. Talk about a technical masterpiece.
THIS IS ABOUT THE LESSLOSS C-MARC ENTROPIC PROCESSING DISTRIBUTOR CONTAINING THE LATEST BIG FIREWALL CONNECTED WITH A C-MARC ENTROPIC PROCESSING POWER CABLE.
Previously I described the very emotional impression that overshadowed everything else yesterday evening. I shall be back with much more later, but the Arthur Brown album, I know so well, opened up in a plethora of different sound landscapes, all artificial of course, but still impressive in their three dimensionality at certain points (for instance in “Creeps”) only to shift to a completely un-dimensional sound at other points. Typical for recordings from that age/genre where High Fidelity did not relate very much to the naturalness of sounds but to a fidelity tied to the message, the artificial bubble if you will, of the concept presented by the artists of the album. Impressive also in relation to the limited technical tools of that age compared to modern computer age. Sound coming from far outside the speakers, behind the speakers and sound moving towards you, seemingly coming from non-existing speakers two meters in front of, and meters off axis to the outside of the speakers.
I started out, as you had suggested, with “Quark”, but was seriously underwhelmed at first. A mixture of a few issues. I blame it mainly on the virgin C-MARC Entropic Process power cord, which was actually to be expected, but in the anger of the moment my logic didn’t work well enough to grasp that, and I only seemed to hear fancy elevator music not involving me emotionally. As you had described the beautiful way the distributor was playing over last week-end, my emotions got the better of my mind and I heard almost the same sound as before the swap out. “Quark” didn’t hit me right until the last ten minutes of the record. Being too emotional, I fell into the trap of expecting an expensive top-of-the-line distributor to remedy all faults of sound and make the set-up transcend immediately, my subdued logic at the moment not being able to pass on the message that, of course, the best distributor will lay bare all of the faults as well. The virgin C-MARC Entropic Process feeding the distributor was obviously, well, virgin but couldn’t be remedied by anything other than burn-in time. Being an Entropic Process this was of course a matter of about four hours until it showed, not it’s full potential, but enough capability to not get in the way.
The first fault that struck me was, of all things, the discovery that the two meter antenna of my Schumann Resonator had fallen off the wall between the speakers during the distributor swap. Taping this to the wall again gave “Quark” the size and dimensionality I was used to. Still the total sound was too dull, un-dynamic and without real sparkle. I had, on purpose, not changed the digital connection between streamer and control amp/DAC, to better be able to hear, what was what.
I figured using my old Eichman digital cord as the final connection in the link: LessLoss legacy digital with the Eichman RCA plugs – Wyred4Sound Remedy Re-clocker, LPSU fed from a c-marc PC – 15 years old Eichman original cord, made me hear everything the original Eichman was not capable of. So, I ran the LL legacy solo, without the re-clocker, to the DAC and the whole soundstage shrank to a degree I had not experienced prior to getting the re-clocker and prior to getting the distributor. Principles are great, great sound is greater, so I reconnected the re-clocker now using the virgin c-marc digital cord to go to the DAC. Within seconds this reshaped the soundstage, dynamics and sparkle to greater than ever levels. I was now four hours from launch time and Arthur Brown and his fantastic musicians hit me with a power and a nerve I have always hoped for but never experienced in real life.
I don’t know if I succeeded in luring you into listening for real to that album, if not, I shall hope that you some time soon, when you have 38 minutes of undisturbed time and an open mind, will play it loudly. Preferably not the YouTube – but the Tidal MQA version. They may not be musicians of classic skills but they are superb in their genre in this recording. All of them, Hammond player, drummer, guitarist, bassist, all of them so tight, so inspired.
David Brubeck’s Take The A-train with the original b/w video also excelled as did David Bowie’s Heroes and Scary Monsters. I was in rock mood yesterday, so haven’t really listened to demanding classical recordings, but I have a wonderful week-end ahead of me and shall enjoy it to the brim.
I soon, after combining the right cables, found out exactly what you, Louis, stated about almost no recordings are bad. That made me search out what I previously considered bad recordings, and that was so much fun that I never got off that game until I had to hit the sack. I didn’t need any sleeping pills, as my newly obtained sound poised me as much as it excited me, realizing that a years long strive for good sound has now gotten on the right track.
I did, though, wake up exceptionally early this morning, all excited but wonderfully poised.
It has been, and shall continue to be, a pleasure entering your world of sound designed to pass the dreams and emotions of the finest of artists.
Another update of the wonders of the Entropic Processing distributor with the brand new big integrated Firewall module and my new C-MARC digital coax cable:
I had a great experience over the last couple of hours watching Swedish TV casting from the CIOC organ competition from Montreal. The winner, a 25 year old Texan out of a black Louisiana family, Alcée Chriss. Winner of the price of the audience, Yuan Chen, a sweet but wild at heart Chinese girl. Both of them spanning from lyrical to crazy wild virtuosity. Number three, Nicola Vitozzi even played a John Cage piece on the pipe organ of the Notre Dame, Montreal.
Once again I sat with tears in my eyes listening to church organ sounds so wonderfully emotional that it defied the fact I was in my own living room listening to broadcast music. My LG OLED TV, by the way, has improved in picture sharpness and color richness and naturalness. It is like going from a standard lens on an SLR to a professional lens. It just keeps getting better and doesn't stop surprising me.
Church organ music in your own home can actually sound really, really well.
Fabulous work, respect!
Everything sounds so wonderful now after the first full week, that it puts a big smile on my face every time I listen to it. I just love the way I can hear not just the note being played but HOW the note is played. Mmmmm.
I am not the biggest fan of baroque music, but yesterday, as my radio station announced a Haydn piece and I was about to switch away, the cello player administered his bow over the strings in a way that, simultaneously with the vibrato of the finger of the other hand, caught me completely off guard. I just had to listen to the piece, I didn't really want to keep playing, such was the insight into the work of the performer. Isn't this exactly why we put our money into this hobby of ours?

C-MARC Classic Power Cable; Firewall Module
Date Added: 08/18/2020 by Ulrich Schulz
With the C-MARC RCA unbalanced cables, loudspeaker cables and the Firewalls for Loudspeakers, I have been listening to my music for several months with great satisfaction and enthusiasm.
Now I have received 2 C-MARC Firewall 64X and 2 Entropic Process power cords.
The cables and firewalls are used with my Lampizator GG 2.5 and LDMS server.
Directly connected to the separate power supply for the HiFi system, without additional filters or power conditioners.
And again I immediately notice an additional, significant increase in musicality.
The in and out swinging of the tones, as well as the fine details of the sound, are even clearer.
The music sounds even more powerful, dynamic and homogeneous.
WOW, what an experience.
I do not want to repeat all the sound descriptions of the superlatives.
For me, the purchase of the Entropic C-MARC Power Cable and C-MARC Firewall 64X is another great success and a stroke of luck.
With every addition of LessLoss products I have increased my music system to a musicality I have never experienced before.
And as long as I notice a significant increase every time I add LessLoss items, I will add new LessLoss items as finances allow.
All the best and many greetings
Ulrich Schulz

C-MARC Classic Power Cable
Date Added: 07/16/2020
My name is Moti and I am from Israel.
I am 50 years old and sound was a hobby since I was 15.
Without mentioning brands, I have tried everything. I don't read reviews, from my experience it's the wrong way to go.
I ran into your product by accident, as a friend was mentioning that he has a power cable to sell.
I have made that mistake and took it for trial, basically I was so sure of myself and I only wanted to prove him wrong. To make a long story short, I have ended up replacing all my power cables to the LessLoss C-MARC power cables then to the Bindbreaker and now I'm saving for the Firewall filters.
When I met one of the biggest and most expensive Japan's brands I new then that I have met the top of ultra high end, I was still thinking that about them but when it comes to power cables I was deadly wrong.
I haven't tried the signal cable yet, honestly I'm afraid I'll have to try it, moreover I'm thrilled to imagine that something can sound better than what I'm using at the moment.
This is what I wrote to Louis 24 hours after connecting 5 of his C-MARC power cables:
Dear Louis,
I just want to tell you that I'm deeply impressed and that desn't come easy.
I thought I saw it all. I'm not going into details nor micro aspects of your work. In grand, macro view, let me tell you this, you are the real thing!
Your products are real, sadly it's a huge compliment in a time when it's usually all about the package. Your package is a plastic bag, inside that plastic bag I found a big brain and heart.
Your products are simply remarkable, one doesn't need more than minutes to understand, hear and feel you are touching the sky or listening to the sound of heaven, that is how I felt, kind of like nirvana.
It is a triumph, I read that somewhere, but this time it's true.
Please count me as one of your ambassadors, followers,,,,
Yours truly,
Moti
I just want to add one thing that I believe everyone who contacted Louis by mails, phone or in person will agree to. Your attention to customers, your availability at any moment, your advice, those are hard to find. And all is done with modesty, authority and knowledge above all.
Just keep up the hard work and stay as you are.
Moti.

C-MARC Classic Power Cable

[Entropic Process C-MARC Power Cable]
Well, after two weeks with both new cables in my system, things have gone exactly as you suggested.
On first listen I could hear some improvement in overall clarity, but nothing that would warrant the cost. Things went all over the place for the next week, but on the eighth night when I sat down to listen, the SQ was simply glorious resulting in a huge smile on my face. SQ has remained consistently at this new level of ‘realism’ during the second week. All of the CDs that I have played over this period sound like they are new remixed/remastered versions with superb clarity and realism to the sound. Some instruments and especially backing / harmony vocals have been given more prominence and can take you by surprise, even on tracks I have listened to for some 40 years.
The most enjoyable and satisfying sensation now, whilst listening to music, is that it has this ‘wrap-around’ feeling that my ‘speakers have disappeared and I am wearing giant, super-comfortable headphones!
Another brilliant product and promise fulfilled by LessLoss!

Another brilliant product and promise fulfilled by LessLoss!
C-MARC Classic Power Cable

I recently had the opportunity to audition one of the new Entropic C-MARC power cords through Atelier13 in Nashville,TN. I replaced a very well known expensive, PC on my Lumin S1 with the new LessLoss cable. The improvement in sound was very significant. The detail and musicality was so much better. The transients were quicker and the bass was tighter. Vocals were/are so much clearer with better tonality. Needless to say I purchased the sample. I strongly suggest that everyone try one of these great cables on their digital sources.

C-MARC Entropic Power Cables
After great experiences with other products from LessLoss, like power distributor with firewalls, Bindbreakers for all devices, a C-MARC power cable without entropic treatment, loudspeaker firewalls, a custom C-MARC loudspeaker cable splitter for the bi-wiring ports, and the Echo's End DAC, it was time to turn all power transport into LessLoss hands.
The greatest opportunity was to jump on the early bird train for the entropic treated C-MARC power cables, which I needed 4 of, one replacing the "old" C-MARC and 3 for "ancient" high-end power cables from Tice ... If anyone remembers.
What shall I say, the waiting time was so painful, but definitely worth it, including the money spent, after I finally could plug them in. And it was a similar story as with all the other components from LessLoss. Definitely a WOW experience, I am used to hear with a new LessLoss piece:
- More of a "being there feeling", with hearing the event room space rather than my listening room
- A feeling of "all is right and natural"
- Human voices now much more sound as HUMAN voices. And it comes with much better understanding of the lyrics. Many of these, I could never decipher before
- More bass punch, great control and really believable. My speakers only go down to 35 hz, but I would no more dream about subs
- An extended stage in all 3 dimensions
- Great positioning and separation of instruments and voices.
- Timbres and according transients are richer and correct. Identification of instruments better than aver before, even in the densest arrangements.
- ....
And what does it mean for me:
- Lots more toe tapping
- Easier to listen and just falling into the music
And now about the entropic promises!
Yes, indeed an amazing break-in time, no sudden changing colourations or collapsed space ... except for day 4 and 5 which was still mild. But that was most likely not a break-in effect, but rather something that will be covered by the upcoming Blackbodys ... I hope and will definitely try!! And the sound was great from minute one, as described above. Cannot warrant, that it improved in time or not, but it was definitely minor if at all.
And what about the comparison to the non-entropic C-MARC? Yes, there is a strong improvement, not nearly as strong as the total replacement, but clearly identifiable: more meat on the bones, richer timbres and more precise space, which all pays into the more natural bucket.
Thanks again, Louis and team. Another step into the audiophile heaven!!

C-MARC Classic Power Cable
Date Added: 05/19/2020 by Stefan
Last week I received the new C-Marc Entropic Process power cable, which replaced the non-Entropic version of C-Marc supercord on my power amp.
Out of the box the sound was amazing, an easy to hear improvement over the old cable. The sound coming from my Dynaudio Sapphires was very open and easy flowing, with an impressive tonal accuracy; great timbres of voices and instruments. At the same time all strengths of its predecessor are there: dead-quiet background, transparency, musicality. I can’t find a better word to describe it than "natural." I’ve never heard anything like this from a cable before, and I’m no stranger to hi-end, expensive cables. All other cables in my system (power, speaker, IC) are Nordost and Audioquest, top of the line at their time. What is unique to C-Marc Entropic is how it imprints the least of its own sonic signature compared with other cables; it just gets out of the way and the music simply flows naturally and beautifully.
Congratulations Louis, for this is truly a reference cable!
The first few days with the cable in my system I did notice fluctuating quality of the sound from burn-in. When that happened, sound was veiled: the same great sound, but like coming from under a blanket. Now, I’m at day 5 and the cable settled in and sounds great. I’ve still noticed some slight improvements since yesterday; if there is more is to come, for sure I wouldn’t mind, but I’m already very happy. :)
