Firewall Module

Date Added: 05/06/2020 by Chris L
The Firewall for Loudspeakers is an amazing product. The improvement to my system was immediate and significant. Bass is tighter, higher frequencies are clearer, there is more separation between instruments, music is richer and fuller. It's honestly quite a shock to hear the change.

Considering the money I have spent on cable upgrades and other tweaks the Firewall for Loudspeakers is a bargain, the improvements are quite astounding particularly as I thought my system was already at quite a good level.

This is the first LessLoss product I have, looking forward to adding more products to my system.

[Plug-and-Play C-MARC Firewall 64X]

One thing is certain: your products make my system progress in the direction I want: homogeneity, stability, depth, atmosphere, harmonics, control of the extremes of the spectrum, reduction of distortions and "stresses" on treble and "Forte." They allow me to push it to its limits, but above all to approach a soothing listening experience and fullness…

Since a while I have the Lessloss Firewall for loudspeakers. It is an unbelievable improvement in terms of natural treble and tone colours. Without it seems to sound pale.

Good job Louis!

Dear Louis,
yesterday the Entropic Process Power Cable arrived, it's great ! My wife and me were able to see from the first moment, this power cable simply plays in a higher league, magnificent !
The stage is wider, the information content is much larger and the music is really flowing. Super, thank you Louis for your new invention !
Today I handed over my signature power cable to the UPS-shop for delivery. You prepared the shipping with UPS very well, everything went very easy...
Thank you very much Louis !

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. :)

C-MARC Classic Power Cable

Date Added: 05/21/2020 by Joerg Meinhardt
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: 05/28/2020 by calloway
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.

Firewall Module

I recently purchased the Firewall for Loudspeakers and could not be happier with the added musicality they have brought to my listening experience. Simply put, there is a more satisfying presence and refinement to the music across the board. The Firewall for Loudspeakers are one of the best investments that I have made in my system. I highly recommend!

Louis, thank you for sharing your talents and those of your team with me. I love listening to music and the Firewall for Loudspeakers have made listening all the more enjoyable.

Echo's End

Date Added: 06/16/2020 by Frédéric Chaplain
For many years I have been a fan of the Aqua R2R DAC. I admit to being skeptical about the seemingly unending plethora of new DACs that keep coming out, and they all seem to sound pretty much the same, often with unnatural sounds and a kind of synthetic depiction of the midrange of voices. This, despite the artillery of ultra modern technologies constantly being developed, such as upsampling algorithms, the latest chips, etc.

Is this related to our modern era's performance, focussed on robotics? Emotions put on ice, everything preserved in appearance while serving true music can only be done with respect to a beating heart (ah! Poetry in this world of brutes!).

The Echo's End arrives and replaces an Aqua La Voce S3. Upon first listen, I hear silence like I've never heard. The object is surprising in its compact wooden format: technology mates with natural materials beautiful to the eye. I start with an album of Olafur Arnalds - Islands Songs. It begins with the voice of an Icelandic who comes to look for us deep in our roots.

It is intimate, close, as if the DAC was an exhaler of emotion. We feel that the voice speaks directly to our heart.

The low-medium / low register is full, coherent, and the mids are slightly accentuated, just where it gives one goosebumps, and the highs are silky and deliciously sweet. One appreciates the quintessence of timbres, superb spatialization and layering of layers. We feel that the Firewall filtering is there to serve music. It serves naturalness and not artificial performance. Listening to music, I am captivated by this sound that grips me entirely, that permeates me. It's organic, robust, but not overly opulent like an overtly obvious sound signature. The tonal balance is sublime. It is really a DAC for music lovers, for those who are gourmets of beautiful music.

It's been a long time since I heard such an original DAC in its cosmetic and sonic presentation. Louis Motek, the designer, was able to create a unique rendering, personal in the service of music, an enchanting DAC in the middle of this boring litany of new DACs. Of course, no DAC is perfect, no DAC can claim to please everyone. This DAC is special. It is for the music lover captivated by the adventures of listening, those who need the equipment to serve only the musical communicative dimension instead of the technical novelties of the day...

For me it is a happy discovery. I feel the benevolence, the know-how and the creativity of an inspired designer. Original but not extravagant, just a concentrate of talent and beauty. Magic d'or 2020!

C-MARC RCA unbalanced signal cable, stereo pair

Date Added: 06/21/2020 by david | Colorado USA
I can relax again. I have just put back into my modest system the RCA C-MARC interconnect that I have owned for about nine months. I have been trying some different cables since I have been thinking about converting to a fully balanced system.

As I have explained to Louis, the longer the cables are in my system, the better they sound. I am not talking a couple of hundred hours -- I mean 750+ hours on the C-MARC cables. Every time I pull them out to try something else, it is always the same when I put them back. Clarity, depth, and an overall sense of calm permeates throughout my system.

Now it is time for the Firewall for Loudspeakers...
