C-MARC bulk wire and cable

Date Added: 05/31/2021 
Making a magnificent DIY C-MARC headphone cable

After I upgraded all my interconnects to C-MARC and also exchanged most of the internal hook-up wire/signal cable in my Rogue Audio tube amps with success, I surely got magnificent and improved results.

I was looking for a new upgrade project for my head-fi, because quite often I use my Audeze LCD together with my Audiovalve tube amp. Sometimes I must be gentle and select quieter listing environment and I do want to listen without losing the same organic live sound as I do with my loudspeakers, without any lack of detail.

With headphones you get closer to the music. And the cable that comes with the headphones is rather good/ok but my idea was it could be yet further improved using C-MARC wiring. Since the LCD-3 has XLR mini plugs I could make a replica cable without opening the LCD-3, and make it longer. So I did. I used 8 meters (4x2m) of C-MARC Small hook-up wire purchased with unprepared ends and unterminated. Since I have been working with C-MARC wires/cables upgrades, I have learned the technique to prepared the ends by use of soldering pot and high temperature to burn off the lacquer and tinning them. If you's rather just want them already treated and finished in 4m lengths that's easy to order. One thing you don't have to worry about is using shielded wires over the pair. They are self-shielding by their very construction.

• Ok, after termination and soldering to a jack plug and the mini plugs I was very curious if there were going to be subtle changes or in some ways better. Immediately without burn-in time there were huge changes in sound. More organic, an ease of music flow, it was wider and deeper. All the instruments were better and real and I heard no coloration. Just closer to the music, and that's what we want, right?

• Again I am surprised what C-MARC can do and the changes they bring about. You can use them in power, signal paths, digital, low signal wires from PU to RIAA. I just love them!
