C-MARC bulk wire and cable

Date Added: 10/07/2023 by Jens
Part 1:

All the LessLoss large hookup wire pieces I ordered have now been implemented. Live, Neutral, and Ground wires were installed as planned in all instances 🙂

For this high voltage application, both the power-carrying wires had additional insulation added in the form of white and clear heat shrink (see photo below).

I started out with implementing the large hookup wires in my Ediscreation Silent Switch, which was pretty straightforward; from IeGo copper/gold IEC at one end, using the solder ends supplied by IeGo, to screw terminals on the main board for Live and Neutral and Ground attached to a chassis screw.

Here is the transition:




After "surgery", the Ediscreation switch was reassembled, put back into the system and turned on. I left it to warm up (it has an OCXO clock) for half an hour before any serious listening - but I could hear something going on right from scratch.

Then I sat down and listened for some time. There was a clear difference with the LessLoss hookup wire feeding the Ediscreated electronics. Sound was notably fuller and more lush. This was not at the expense of detail, quite the contrary, because details came out even better. This was not in the sense that they come out louder - they were just clearer. After further listening, I realised that clarity in general had reached a new level, most likely because the LessLoss hookup wire has lowered the noise level from the AC line. Sound was simply more clean, benefitting the musical experience!

My Ediscreation switch is unfortunately not being fed by a LessLoss Entropic power cord. It definitely should be. And I am trying to get there ...

Replacing the standard wire in the Ediscreation Silent Switch was well worth the effort - definitely exceeded my expectations and raised my system to yet another level. Thank you for providing the annoyingly short lengths of wire!

Part 2:

My Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer was up next to have its internal AC wiring replaced by LessLoss large hookup wire. Again, when using this wire for 230/240V AC, the cotton part of the wire needs additional insulation, and as recommended by Louis Motek, I used white and clear heat shrink for this purpose. Since I ordered the pieces of wire with end prepping (highly recommended), the ends already had white heat shrink, but to be able to distinguish between Live and Neutral, I chose white for Live and clear for Neutral. Same as I did for the Ediscreation switch upgrade described in part 1.

The Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer has a separate on/off switch. Unfortunately, this switch causes sound deterioration, which I discovered previously when I altered the wiring to bypass the switch and go directly from the Furutech IEC inlet/fuse holder combo instead. As can be seen in the photo, the original wiring for the on/off switch is no longer connected:




As can also be seen, the wiring from the Furutech combo ends in a PCB connector on the voltage selector PCB, and I decided to remove this connector in order to solder the LessLoss hookup wire directly into the PCB.

A word of warning here: the male part of the connector is press-fitted into the PCB as well as soldered in place, so it is extremely difficult to get it out! However, I succeeded in doing it, and after fitting and soldering short lengths of solid core copper wire onto the pre-soldered ends of the Live and Neutral hookup wires and subsequently soldering the solid core wires into the PCB in the connector's place, the connection to the voltage selector board was re-established.

After fitting and shrinking the additional heat shrink on both wires, the other ends were then soldered to the solder lugs of the Furutech IEC combo. The ground wire was also soldered onto the appropriate solder lug and connected to the original star ground. The end result can be seen in the photo:




The Innuos streamer upgrade was considerably more difficult to perform than the Ediscreation Silent Switch upgrade described in part 1, mainly due to my decision to remove the male part of the PCB connector from the PCB. I have later performed a similar upgrade to an identical Innuos streamer belonging to a friend without removing the connector - much easier.

So, a lot of work! Was it worth the effort?

Yes, absolutely! But - initially I was somewhat disappointed with the Innuos upgrade. There were indeed improvements - and along the same lines as with the Ediscreation switch, but the magnitude was much smaller. However, it turned out that - for some reason - the new wiring in the Innuos needed a little time to bed in, and the effects are now much greater than at the first listen.

All in all, the combined LessLoss large hookup wire upgrades on the AC wiring in my digital chain have proven very worthwhile. The short lengths of wire needed did not cost a lot, even with the end prepping, and my system has moved a significant step further towards naturalness and musicality - sheer bliss!

C-MARC bulk wire and cable

Date Added: 03/28/2023 by Nik
Hello Louis,

I own the „big“ CD-transport from Pro-Ject, the “CD Box RS2 T”.

It is driven by the Pro-Ject upgrade power-supply.
The DC-connection was via Pro-Ject “upgrade” cable.

Last weekend I built a new DC-cable for this connection, using C-MARC™ bulk Coaxial cable.

What shall I say – big improvement!

So why don’t you offer DC-cables to non DIYers?

Regards,
Nik

I own a number of well know and expensive Powercords that I use throughout my system. The Lessloss is clearly on par with the best for less. Used on the preamp of a system that was never bass shy, I felt like I had discovered another octave of music

Positive by Buyer Marcner (246) on 04-22-08

Re: Purchase of Lessloss AC power cable. Immediately apparent something is special, it changes the envelope of the delivery of the music. The tripath solid state AR Amp sounds more flowing and used with my Tube SET, more bass from my 2 way speakers

Positive by Buyer Tubeyy (78) on 11-23-07

Great transaction well worth the wait, this is by far the best powercord I have used in my system over the past 20 years, some cost as high as $3,000 and this power cord for $500.00 beat them all hands down and is a steal at its current asking price.

Positive by Buyer Phillyb (150) on 11-16-07

Top notch construction, performance to match, and a great transaction. Highly recommended because the cable does what is claimed, lowers noise while improving dynamics. Thanks!

Positive by Buyer Wineaux (54) on 10-22-07

If it was just always so simple !! Excellent, correct and accurate communication. Absolutely no loss at all even before listening to the cables. Highly recommended.

Positive by Buyer Williamredburry (45) on 09-26-07

This cable was the BEST purchase that I've ever made!! I’m not affiliated with this product in anyway, but feel sorry for Audiophiles who don’t purchase these cables. Once Audiophiles try this cable, they will wonder how this product can be sold at such a low price. I’m baffled… In an industry full of snake oil, unethical cable retailers, enormous profits and scams - this LessLoss "Filtering Power Cable" is a "breakthrough product" which blows away the ALL competition at ANY price!!! I honestly don’t know how LessLoss can make a profit while using Oyaide connectors, hand braiding and an incredible passive AC filter. LessLoss "Filtering Power Cable" are sold from a manufacturer /owner /designer who is trustworthy, ethical, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. Take a chance!!!!, PayPal your money to Lithuania - and you'll be rewarded with great Customer Service, and the finest power cord made. Hear for yourself what you are missing!!! Thanks Again!!!

Positive by Buyer Spacecase (83) on 09-22-07

Excellent service and communication. Fast shipping. Thanks, Liudas!

Positive by Buyer Tvad (660) on 09-20-07

Excellent products! Delivery of the power cords and XLR digital interconnect cable,was received within 10days of shipping. Luidas kept me informed on the status of my order. Very good communication and feedback to my inquiries.

Positive by Buyer Kpoulard (18) on 09-10-07

First-rate all the way! The cables are sensational, and the price is a steal. The 1-2 week delivery from Lithuania is well worth the wait. Liudas and Vilmantas at LessLoss are perfectionists pursuing their love for the art of music reproduction.

Positive by Buyer Lookin4evr (117) on 08-17-07

Before upgrading your gear, please try the Lessloss Blackbody. It works wonders with my equipment and adds a realism, a new quality to the sound that will leave you speechless. Absolutely wonderful piece of gear.
