Date Added: 11/22/2022 by René from Copenhagen, Denmark
I have been involved in the wonderful hobby of High End HiFi for decades gradually improving my stereo as my knowledge, funds and regards for my family allowed. It has given me countless hours of joy and, in the beginning, countless hours of frustration as well.

One of the quirks of this hobby is the vast number of variables involved. That is probably the reason one still cannot just order “The Best Stereo”, pay the bill and live happily ever after. It is still very much an art to not just chose the right components but also be able to make them play together and not against each other. One thing I have learned during my long journey travelling the “Stereo Jungle” is, very few people master this art while vast quantities of animals of prey seem to thrive in sewing confusion dressed up as absolute knowledge, amateurs as well as professionals.

Little wonder that most of us have been through periods of repeatedly swapping out components of our stereo in an everlasting search for the holy grail. Sadly, frustration and confusion often follow the initial burst of joy over a new component and the search starts over again. But there is a solution to this I found out.

My journey took a completely new direction as I, by chance, stumbled upon LessLoss, a company driven by a rare combination of deep insight and experience in both the technical the performing and the recording side of music, look for the credentials on the homepage. Add to that the real time feedback from a worldwide community of satisfied customers. A company that takes pride in always striving for the best, very often breaking new grounds in a spirit where Quality always beats Quantity and getting to the soul of music seems to be the top goal.

Fighting noise seems to be the dominant road for LessLoss, nothing our ears perceive as noise but the cleaning up of all kinds of ultrahigh frequency noise, a lot of which was not present a few decades ago. Noise everywhere in our modern world polluting and thereby hindering our expensive equipment in doing what it would be able to do were the pollution not there.

My present LessLoss chain consists of C-Marc power cables, digital interconnect and speaker cables, all Entropic Processing. Add to that distributor and firewalls, also the oh so important Entropic Processing. As I like to experiment, learn, and pass on knowledge I presently have a somewhat extreme chain, more or less like a choo-choo train, some of the stuff on loan for the experiment and the knowledge of the lenders:

From the Furutech Schuko outlet 2m C-Marc Power Cable (from now on CM PC) hooking up to 2 CM Firewall64x + 1 external CM FW640x + the latest LessLoss distributor with dual 640x firewalls inside, via 1m CM PC Entropic Processing (EP) + another identical distributor + CM PCs Entropic to all equipment. Speaker cable is CM Entropic with Entropic speaker firewalls going into satellites and subs.

The result is a setup that can play at very low volume with an intensity and involvement that ought to be sought for by all audiophiles with family sleeping in neighboring rooms at the time of night when stereo sounds its best and genuine audiophiles are active. There’s a transparency and naturalness to the extremely coherent sound that makes it very easy to slip inside the musical event and easily hear just how the greatest of the greatest master their instruments down to the most subtle vibrato or understated attack.

Of course, when you play louder things get even more involving and easier to grasp but still with a naturalness and musicality that lets you listen for hours and hours in a row without the slightest hint of listener fatigue. Aggressive music sounds aggressive but not tiresome, soft music sounds wonderfully soft but definitely not uninvolving. Attack and explosions in music sound scary if intended and scale, pace, timing, and rhythm is just present in the coolest and most natural way. In fact, it doesn’t take long before you completely forget the stereo and just hear the musicians or singers. Good live recordings almost make you wanna reach out and touch. “Just one more number,” keeps popping up in your mind until you have forgotten time and place often floating away on an inner travel to wonderful places. Did anybody think Zen?

All this LL equipment is not needed to make a genuinely fine sounding setup, but have I yet reached the point where I cannot tell the difference when adding the next piece? Nope, you can never get too many firewalls it seems, but one always seems enough – until you add the next. My guess is, you cannot get too many of the newly introduced BlackGrounds either.

In my mind it’s impossible to exaggerate the value of what LessLoss as a company succeeds in doing as music is the universal language and bearer of immense amounts of cultural goods that our generation is lucky enough to have access to through electronic media. The LessLoss vision potentially opens up virtual access to time travel to a plethora of incredible musical performances in a way other brands can only dream of. Getting as close to the very soul of the performers as possible is what that vision is all about. Only LessLoss offers a completely coherent upgrade road that step by step always takes you in the same direction, closer to the natural unrestricted sound of musical instruments and the skill of the performers. Should you ever need help or guidance, Louis Motek, head of the company, is always open to an often humorous always elevated and skilled discourse over this and that when it comes to his lovechild and music in particular.

So, how much do I want LessLoss to succeed with their mission of (clean) Power to the People? Strangely, it now goes way beyond just making my own stereo sound stellar, as it almost gives me more pleasure to introduce it to others, passing on what truly cleaned up sound can do for their musical experience.

Let me round this up by saying, of all the genuinely many items I have bought into my stereo I have never regretted one single purchase and I would not return one single piece even for a full refund because I was unhappy with it. I have upgraded items but always to the next LessLoss model. I may well do that again cause there’s even a friendly upgrade policy. What can I say but,

Less loss, more pleasure.

BlackGround voltage-ground interface

Date Added: 11/29/2022 by Sven Boenicke, Boenicke Audio


Added 8 pairs to mains.

What shall I say… this is a psychedelic experience of dramatic magnitude.

From what you wrote about it, I expected a lot, but what it does is not what I expected. 

The incredible thing about its effect is that it does exactly what my comdev and the newest gen. resonators we use do, but even stronger, of course.

It’s that energy shift away from the glare and garbage especially in the top end into the organic, colorful, beautiful - the brown, red, orange and golden colors.

That’s what I so love. Plus, it does something on the reach-out and communication level which is magic.

Count me in to get many more of them. This has to go in products.

BlackGround voltage-ground interface

Date Added: 12/02/2022 by Jens, Copenhagen
To be truthful, I was very sceptical when I first heard about this new 'device' a while back. But then I have been sceptical of everything I ever got from LessLoss - before I put it into my system. After - well, I have yet to experience an item from LessLoss that does not make a positive difference in my system!

Even so, the BlackGround seemed somewhat more mystical than the cables, Firewalls and Bindbreakers I have already deployed in my system, but after an exploratory email correspondence with Louis Motek, I decided to get a few of these new things (perhaps I also felt a bit of an obligation after having godfathered the name for them!).

I received the new devices the other day and wired a couple of them up to work on the AC for my system. Yesterday, I got a chance to try the BlackGrounds out - still not daring to expect much.

That was quite a WOW experience!

These are my initial impressions from my brief listening session yesterday with one BlackGround on Line and another on Neutral on the AC:
- System seemed to play louder! (no settings whatsoever were changed in the system)
- Reverb improved, both room wise and on instruments/voices
- Room description/ambience improved
- Layering and detailing improved

Even though these were not night and day changes, they were easily discernable and heightened the general performance of my system.

Once again, Louis put all my doubts to shame - phenomenal!

I received my 5 BlackGrounds today and hurried to build 4 of them into my homemade power distributor. It looks a lot more pretty with the lid on 😊 – but it works!
 
Immediate and huge improvement in detail, resolution, ambience and dynamics. Simply much more music! I have recently invested in many upgrades for my music system and none of them made this huge an improvement and those were all much more expensive. Very excited.

Just tonight it has developed much further compared to when I first wrote. Great product!

 
Best regards
Poul

BlackGround voltage-ground interface

Yesterday my first Blackground order has been delivered.

And of course I could not resist to prepare the setup connecting the Blackgrounds to the speaker terminals of my mono amps.

The first listening experience was very promising* ... and that with the smallest solution possible 😀

Instantaneously the idea arose to divert 2 additional Blackground 10x Power Base for this use case. But then I remembered that you wrote somewhere that you plan to launch another product (similar to the 10x Power Base) for that.

Best regards,
Jörg

* I didn't use my standard "test" LPs (like Sound of Jazz from Analog Productions) but a few that I hadn't listened to for a longer time and it was a gorgeous sound experience.

BlackGround voltage-ground interface

Hi everyone. I'm a longtime user of LessLoss products. So this time, after buying 5 of the Blackbodies V.2, I decided at Louis's suggestion, to purchase 5 Blackgrounds to properly ground them. I had already heard some subtle improvements with the V.2s alone, but because of past success with other Lessloss products, I bought 5 Blackgrounds. After getting some directions from Louis, I then played my system ..... What an improvement! More "Living Presence", more oomph to the sounds, like it was being pushed out of the speakers more powerfully. Just more power to the music.
The scientific explanation for this can be found on the LessLoss website. I recommend reading it. I'm very happy and plan to buy more Blackgrounds in future!

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

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.

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!

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!!!

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.
