C-MARC bulk wire and cable

Date Added: 01/08/2019 by Johnathan
Ok, where to begin. So, I was looking into upgrading my current system and I was searching for cables to enhance the sound of my system and to create a more black and noiseless sound. I was aware of LessLoss for a while, although I recently decided to read into the various technology that they implement into their cables and the reviews that customers and press are giving their cables. I was going through the reviews for the old DFPC cables and most were very positive, although one review in particular did catch my eye where someone was having a showdown between DFPC reference(~1,800$) & signature(~1,100$) cables, the Nordost Valhalla(~5,000 to 6,000$) & Odin(~19,000) cables and some other cables that were more expensive than the LessLoss cables. The reviewer's imipression of the DFPC Reference(~1,800$) was that it sounded better than the Nordost Odin(~19,000$) which blew me away and immediately I was interested in purchasing a DFPC cable. When I looked into purchasing a DFPC cable I saw that the entire DFPC lineup was being replaced by the c-marc cables and the LessLoss website specifically states that the c-marc cables are a step above the DFPC reference cables, so I decided to purchase the c-marc large bulk wire after realizing that I can replace the wiring inside my Philharmonic 3 speakers.

When the large bulk wires arrived I started by replacing the 2-3 feet of cabling(only one speaker) attached to the Raal tweeter and BG neo 8 planar mid at the top cabinet which attaches to the bottom cabinet through a binding post. I haven't at this point replaced the wiring for the mids and highs in the bottom cabinet going to the crossover and then going to the binding post in the back(where I place the speaker wire). I haven't changed the wiring for the woofer either.

I'm going to start off by saying that I was very much unprepared for the difference in sound that I heard between the couple feet of regular wiring and LessLoss c-marc wiring that I soldered to the mid & high frequency driver. I was impressed to NO END! In terms of sound quality, LessLoss c-marc reminds me of the AHB2 amplifier that I recently purchased from Benchmark Media, which are absolutely the highest SNR, lowest noise, most athletic and transparent amplifier I've ever heard, very highly recommended if you're looking for a stellar amp. I know it's probably odd to compare cables to an amplifier although these are the second product I purchased that I can honestly say I had to hold back tears of joy when I heard the difference it was making(lol, don't judge me). As I was listening to music in my Spotify account I immediately heard a much more real, convincing and "you are there" type of sound. To be honest, I'm not sure how to say this, but the music seemed so much more vivid to the point where I didn't just hear the music but I can almost feel the music. The resolution is much higher as i'm hearing a lot more low level details, all the various sounds in the sound stage are much more delineated and spaced apart and even the emotions in the singer's voices are brought out which was shocking to me. Many reviewers talk about a veil being lifted, well I have to tell you that with this cable, many veils are lifted and transparency is to the point where no joke these cables sound like there are no cables at all. The overall impression that I get from how the LessLoss cables physically handle the signal is that the cables transport the signal very faithfully and accurately and strip off insane amounts of noise to the point where the signal seemingly has no noise at all, while adding absolutely 0 color to the sound. In terms of the sound stage, it is definitely wider and deeper. This is my impression of the mid and highs. The only down side to this was that there was an audible difference between the bass frequencies and the mid/highs and there was a discrepancy between my now modded left speaker and my un-modded right speaker , although the next day I replaced all the cabling going from the binding post in the back going to the crossover and to the woofer and I definitely noticed how the woofer opened up just like the other drivers. The bass was more transparent, higher resolution/ delineation between sounds, tighter response and larger sound stage.

In conclusion I'd like to say that the c-marc cables without a doubt, have the highest SNR of any cable I have ever heard, are dead silent and achromatic! They are absolutely the most vivid, clear, accurate and lifelike sounding wires I've heard and they make my speakers sing! These are definitely my new favorite cables and will in time replace all my cabling in my audio system with LessLoss c-marc cables. If you're tired of your system sounding hifi and want your audio system to sound truly real and "you are there" please stop contemplating and purchase a c-marc cable right now! YES they will most certainly make a more audible difference than a whole lot of gear(and I'm not talking about other cables) that's on the market. If ever there were a perfect cable, MAKE NO MISTAKE this most certainly would be it!

ps. I will be making another review when I replace the wiring inside both speakers as well so please stay tuned!

C-MARC bulk wire and cable

Date Added: 05/30/2018 by Christian M.
Several times, I have purchased C-MARC hook-up wire, mostly the small size ($30/m), to build DIY cables (1m or 1.5m length) for power supply. I use such cables to connect DAC, Preamp, Tuner, and USB S/PDIF in my system. The power amps use the large size ($80/m). The idea is to lower the noise self-generated by the system components.

The result is exceptional. Each device is truly supply isolated. The soundstage is enormously large and deep, with dark silence as a backdrop for the music, and beautiful and musically intricate attacks and decays.

I also use the same DIY cables for my computer (USB, S/PDIF) and my streaming device, isolating such devices as computer, screen, router, switches, NAS etc... The result is so exceptional that there are no more errors on streaming music provided by the computer or streamed from my NAS. The level of detail is outstanding.

The result is also quite astonishing on SMPS devices (even iFi audio devices - very low noise on output side) suppressing the noise on the main supply side.

By using these C-MARC based DIY cables, the noise level (generated by the devices themselves) between the devices has completely vanished.

I use one C-MARC power cable followed by a Firewall 5X for the power coming from the wall. This filters the noise coming from outside my system.

So I think people can really get a lot out of your technology and there are many more applications to consider.

Happy to inspire you to consider expanding your assortment.

C-MARC bulk wire and cable

In such a moment I am happy to not be a cable company. I consider this wire to be a major problem for them. There seems to be so much right about it. Congratulations on this superbly intelligent design.
