C-MARC Stellar Power Cable
since a few weeks I have one LessLoss Stellar power cord in my system.
My system consists of Wadax reference Dac and reference server, an Ypsilon Phaeton Integrated (replacing a Pilium Hercules and Alexander combo) and several Kaiser Kawero speakers.
By the way, I am the designer of the Kaiser Kawero speakers, so listening with several of these models comes as no surprise. See also www.kaiser-acoustics.com
The system runs in a dedicated listening room. Electrical power today is filtered with a Synergistic Research UEF12 filter.
The Stellar power cable feeds now the Ypsilion amp. It replaces there various very expensive power cords from well known brands (cost from 5000€ to 14000€) which I used before.
What to say? First of all there is much more realism and smoothness in the midrange. More texture, more details. But the new amount of information in the records doesn´t come with drawbacks like listening fatigue or harshness.
Second is the control and punch in the bass. More grip, more firm. Excellent!
Treble is more natural and the decay from cymbals or bells are much more realistic.
Soundstage is the first 7 days during burn in more focused to width, after that time depth of stage significantly increases.
Conclusion: One of the best power cords money can buy. An "Über" Reference.
Best regards,

I am currently using BlackGround 10x Power Base, BlackGround 8x Speaker Base, Firewall 640x and also 5 Stellar power cords….
I took the opportunity of the upgrade program to upgrade 5 pcs of Entropic Classic power cords to Stellar.
My setup is streaming based and I was using the Entropic Classic to connect to LessLoss power distributor, streamer, usb regenerator, network switch and 10x Power Base.
When I initially switched from my old power cords to Entropic Classic, the experience was a revelation..the feeling of “live” performance..the background is so quiet yet lively at the same time..the other improvement were increase in depth and width of music..and big reduction in digititis…please note that I am only streaming music through tidal and I am already getting this much of satisfaction.
Now, upgrading from Entropic Classic to Stellar power cord, what I experienced is a definite improvement over Entropic Classic..the improvement I experience in Entropic Classic applies here and are further amplified.. I also experienced increase in dynamics and increase in bass quality and bass output..the increase in bass feels like I have upgraded my amplifier or speaker. What really impress me is on vocal..vocal is much much improved over Entropic Classic..to the point there is really no listening fatigue. The glare that I normally experience in digital setup is gone. Previously there are certain artist which I find it hard to listen to, such as Celine Dion Immortality..i had to lower the volume when the songs reaches chorus/climaxes as its too piercing to my ear.. but with Stellar, I no longer need to lower the volume..in fact, I can increase the volume now and hear even more details than before.
All in all, the upgrade to Stellar was a worthwhile one and I greatly recommend this product.

Be prepared to tolerate a full 7 days of break in before having the full experience. It is more than worth the Wait. Once you hear it you will be spoiled for life.

My Naim NSC222 really performs better, brighter and cleaner.
Naim has an external power source NPX 300. I tried this for a week.
To be honest, the Stellar and the 640k together are in the same league as the NPX of 7.000 euro.
A no-brainer in my opinion.

I have waited impatiently with the silver lining of practicing patience.
It takes 30 hours to produce a LessLoss Stellar Entropic cable of two meters. However, the cables are completely raw, and they have to be adapted through playing music, but that is part of the experience: Experiencing how the cables evolve with music - what a pleasure!
New details emerge from familiar music. Amazing!
I am thrilled and amazed at how it can improve the sound. This is astounding to me!
I had absolutely amazing sound before, but with these power cables both the cheap Prime and their top cable Stellar Entropic, just so much has happened! There's simply more to it all!
The music is opened up even more. Now, it’s real music. To the ear it’s real, live music.
LessLoss produces less noise. Less noise means a better chance for the devices to deliver exactly what they were built for. It’s a win-win. LessLoss means less loss. Less lost music! It makes you listen to the music more carefully. For example, listening to the Danish song “Den Lige Vej” with Kim Larsen sounds like the singer is right there in front of you singing live. Even the smallest mouth movements are now heard much better and more naturally.
I have also tested the cables with choral music: Himmelrand SACD from 2L. Great recording! With my old system, I could more or less pinpoint the individual singers, and I still can. But now, I can hear them standing up and singing naturally. The choir is singing here at its natural height, wide and deep.
Sounds in the background appear as well. Low sounds from drums far back, don’t drown out anymore. I hear the different touches of the drums. It is excellent! With a singer like Mari Boine Persen in "Eg veit i himmerik ei borg", you hear how her voice is graduated with detail, getting weaker and weaker until it’s silent.
You experience the silence in the room. This is huge! It is transformative! Silence in the music means more calmness, and the music becomes far more stress relieving.
Music can be wild, and Stellar Entropic allows it to be! With Stellar Entropic, there is dynamism, it’s terrific! With Stellar Entropic, there is silence in the music! When brass cymbals are struck, they sound metallic, as they should be! The treble is so clean and detailed! With drums, you hear the drum skin and the bang!
You experience things in the background where people are talking.
With Stellar Entropic, you can experience more of what LessLoss Prime provides. It’s what Bindbreaker also does, just far more!
Thank you for reading my experiences so far! I’ve had help with the translation to English, so please excuse any typos. There’s probably lots that I’ve forgotten to write here, so I may add more when I experience these cables further.
Thanks to Renè and Henrik for introducing me to LessLoss cables! My system has moved from awesome sound to even more lively and natural sound. With more wildness, dynamics and silence! These cables opened up the music so that my room appears bigger and deeper!

I agree with the user review comments of your other customers.
I could hear the improvements immediately.
Music first listened to …
“The Great Ray Charles” Atlantic SD-1259
The Ray Charles/Quincy Jones track “Undecided” is “rockin”.
There’s terrific drive I had not heard previously, & there’s great pace, fast transients, and the ambience/reverb of the double bass accompanying everyone is more noticeable. The tenor & baritone saxes, and muted and open trumpet are really live sounding, dynamic, with just beautiful tone.
A old standby recording that I’ve always gone back to listen to is Ben Webster’s “At The Renaissance”, when accessing system changes.
Here are a few observations I made in the first moments after installing the Stellars:
I think these power cords are bringing more presence & details into focus… the lows deeper, with spacial information definitely more discernible -
The audience clapping during “Georgia On My Mind” sounds like it in a different place than the musicians. Chattering of the players is heard better now.
The music’s more visceral, with quieter background.
Rowles’ piano tone is spot on.
Butler’s drum skins’ tone, and the irregular “off” or “accent” beats of his sticks on the cymbals, are just better. Jim Hall’s guitar’s bell tones float lightly above everything.
Good move, definitely, especially if things are going to get better from here on in!
I’m excited about hosting our Philadelphia Audio Group this September, and I will certainly encourage anyone interested in why everything is sounding so good to check out your website - particularly the video you recommend, and the “Best Steps Forward” article.
All the best!

I have done a couple of listening sessions with this new power cord (replacing a C-MARC Classic Entropic) on the power supply feeding my Totaldac D1 DAC and Reclocker. The Stellar has run only 6 hours and the result are already very good.
This afternoon I went back to the Entropic to check… and ensure my ears are not lying to me. The progress bringing in musicality by the Stellar is quite significant; I did not expect that much more improvement.
What I do hear is more body in the music, a nicer and more detailed top end, a more articulate bottom, and overall a better top to bottom balance. All that gives more life to the music!
You are right: attention to the power side of our equipment is absolutely critical.
