C-MARC Stellar Power Cable; BlackGround 6x/10x Power Base

Date Added: 10/07/2024 by Maurizio
During the last few years, I have been using a LessLoss distributor with all connections made with C-MARC “Entropic Process” cables.

Both signal and loudspeaker cables in my stereo system are also with C-MARC “Entropic Process”. I have been greatly enjoying listening to music with such a set-up.

I recently purchased a BlackGround 10x Power Base, and upgraded the connection to the wall socket of the distributor with a C-MARC Stellar power cable. I also used a Stellar power cable to connect the BlackGround Power Base to the distributor.

In few days, the reproduction of sound has acquired an astonishing transparency that personally I had never experienced before. It is what I imagined being the exclusivity of stereo systems much more expensive than mine.

It is now much easier to follow the playing of several instruments and to appreciate sound that before appeared as being only in the background and behind a veil. I can now detect much more easily the differences between several versions of the album that previously appeared just as nuances.

For instance, last year I borrowed the UHQR vinyl of “Kind of Blue” and after listening to it, I concluded that it sounded just “a bit” better, but it was not worth the price. With the new set-up, I listened to that vinyl again and, thanks to the so much improved transparency, I realized that it sounds so good and I decided to keep the UHQR vinyl.

Encouraged by the successful experience with Stellar cables, I decided to finally replace the original quality power cords of the two PSUs of my DAC, also with 2 Stellar cables.

This last investment was also worthwhile. The sound of the DAC is now by far more comparable to that of an analogue source:

I now discover details that tell more about the very music and all this is effortless, no more need to “focus” especially on what I was listening to

Firewall Module; C-MARC Stellar Power Cable

Date Added: 11/27/2024 by Jean-Michel Anquetil
"Stellar" is the right name!

I received a few days ago another Stellar power cord (replacing a C-MARC Entropic) and another C-MARC Firewall 640x filter.

I already have another Stellar power cord for my amplifier.

These products are now powering my DAC stack (Totaldac D1 direct, Reclocker and D1 drive). The result is again mind, I should write, "musical blowing". This cable brings more silence, more flow to the music, reveals very detailed shade and nuances ... all that makes the music so very lifelike and enjoyable ... The result is so much musical pleasure.

I have many LessLoss products and they all work in harmony to provide more natural music. There is so much hidden music in our files and records which are now revealed.

Well done Louis, thanks.

Giant Steps; C-MARC Stellar Power Cable; BlackGround 8x/10x Speaker Base

Date Added: 12/19/2024 by Maurizio
GIANT STEPS:

Thank you for having sent me the 3 Giant Steps I received this Monday!

My turntable, which was the first target for testing the Giant Steps, is currently under repair.
That is why I chose the main preamplifier which is stacked on top of the PSU (see the attached photo).
The preamplifier has 4 spiked feet which terminate with a tip apparently made of fairly soft plastic.
The PSU is placed on the NAGRA anti-vibration plates (https://www.nagraaudio.com/product/nagra-vfs-classic-vfs/).

NAGRA is a very meticulous constructor and chose the precise points of the chassis where to place the 4 feet.
So I decided to test the Giant Steps under the preamplifier by using only 3 of the 4 original feet, of course knowing that it was a very much imperfect approach.
To note, the tip of the spike of each Nagra foot fits very well into the small indentations on the Giant Steps.
I placed a small black statue on an edge of the top of the preamplifier to move the centre of gravity of the preamplifier to the middle of the triangle made by the 3 Giant Steps.

After having placed the Giant steps and let them “settling” for almost a day, I listened music firstly with the Giant Steps and then without.
I noticed a change that made me realize that your new footers attenuate vibrations that were causing a sort of hardness of the reproduced sound.

The result is, in a way, addictive.

By getting such a good result with my improvised and improvable configuration, I conclude that the Giant Steps will be a very valuable accessory for my stereo.

That’s why I decided to get 12 more Giant Steps.



STELLAR POWER CORDS:

Most of my stereo equipment is already equipped with your Stellar power cords.
Last week I received the last pair of Stellar power cords to replace the last C-MARC Entropic Process power cords that feed my 2 mono power amplifiers.

I am impressed by the improvements of the sound that I would briefly describe as being more “live”: faster response, additional clarity, more and better low-pitch notes.



BLACKGROUND 10x SPEAKER BASES

Last week I installed the two single channel 10x Speaker Bases.

After letting the stereo playing music at low volume for 80 hours, I have already got an overall improvement that is very promising.

C-MARC Stellar Power Cable

Date Added: 07/23/2025 by Dave Paper
The C-MARC Stellar PC is my first LessLoss product. I've owned many different PCs over the years. Some of them were good and others not so much. This PC is quite different than anything that I've experienced. It just removes noise from my system. Every other PC I've used (e.g., Shunyata, Tara Labs, Crystal Cable, JPS labs, etc.) adds something to the sound. Albeit the other cords I've experienced sound better than stock cords to me. For example, the Crystal Cable I was using before the Stellar was smooth and pretty fluid. However, it was not in the same league as the Stellar. Everything just sounds more natural and real. I love classical music like Mahler. On my (pre-Stellar PC) system, Mahler's symphonies sounded really good. But different types of horns just never sounded real. With the Stellar, a flute sounds like a flute. A clarinet sounds like a clarinet. And so on... Also, drums on all kinds of music sound like real drums. My Stellar PC is still breaking in, but I noticed the difference right away. As the cables continue to break in, everything sounds more natural & real.

It took a bit of adjustment to get used to the Stellar PC because it's hard to know what 'no noise' sounds like. When I listen with the Stellar PC, I'm not thinking about smooth, fluid or even natural (which are all great qualities). I'm just listening to music. I'm adding another Stellar PC and a C-MARC Firewall 640x to my system and I am very excited to see what happens. Icing on the cake is that LessLoss cables are reasonably priced in this crazy expensive audio world we now live in!

As mentioned earlier, with the Stellar PC, instruments sound like they do in real life. I didn't really know that instruments could sound so real! I enjoyed my stereo system and didn't really think about its shortcomings. I just dreamed about audio that I couldn't afford. Now, I'm getting sound that I never imagined I could get out of my existing system with just the addition of a single Stellar PC. I've read a lot of reviews about LessLoss, but I was skeptical. How could my existing system sound REALLY better with just the addition of a single PC? Folks, the Stellar PC works as advertised! I'm going to add new LessLoss products as my budget permits.

C-MARC Stellar Power Cable

Date Added: 06/30/2026 by Dave Paper
I am very happy with your products. They are not cheap, but MUCH cheaper than the outrageous prices of many of the high end stuff. I have an expensive PC that used to be in my main system, but I have it in my 2nd system. It sounds good but is noisier than yours. I didn't notice this until I had your Stellar PCs in my main system. I'll be buying the LessLoss ICs.

It's a pleasure! Your products work as advertised.
