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

BlackGround Power Base

Date Added: 04/18/2024 by Zoltan
I ordered this "box" with trepidation. Over the years, I have spent a lot of time and energy trying to get the right power cables to my devices. After reading the reviews I had rather high expectations and was afraid of being disappointed.

But the very first second blew away all my doubts. I didn't have to look for the difference as it slaps me in the my face immediately.
However, I also read that it is worth the wait, because the effect would mature over time.

I've been using it for over a week now and I think it was one of the best investments I made. Not only one tiny detail of the sound picture has improved.
Everything has become much more precise, tighter, but at the same time the music has not lost its sensuality, it has also brought out its emotion and passion.
The presence of a stage has become more noticeable and deeper. The experience is more immersive than ever.
Yesterday I sat listening to music for hours with a grin on my face, without getting tired.
I think I have arrived. I've wanted to come here for years.

Congratulations and thank you.

C-MARC Stellar Power Cable; Firewall Module; Power Distributor; BlackGround 6x/10x Power Base; BlackGround 8x/10x Speaker Base

Date Added: 01/09/2024 by KH
I have been a supporter and believer of LessLoss product since 2023.

I am currently using BlackGround 10x Power Base, BlackGround 8x Speaker Base, Firewall 640x and also 5 Stellar power cords….

I took the opportunity of the upgrade program to upgrade 5 pcs of Entropic Classic power cords to Stellar.

My setup is streaming based and I was using the Entropic Classic to connect to LessLoss power distributor, streamer, usb regenerator, network switch and 10x Power Base.

When I initially switched from my old power cords to Entropic Classic, the experience was a revelation..the feeling of “live” performance..the background is so quiet yet lively at the same time..the other improvement were increase in depth and width of music..and big reduction in digititis…please note that I am only streaming music through tidal and I am already getting this much of satisfaction.

Now, upgrading from Entropic Classic to Stellar power cord, what I experienced is a definite improvement over Entropic Classic..the improvement I experience in Entropic Classic applies here and are further amplified.. I also experienced increase in dynamics and increase in bass quality and bass output..the increase in bass feels like I have upgraded my amplifier or speaker. What really impress me is on vocal..vocal is much much improved over Entropic Classic..to the point there is really no listening fatigue. The glare that I normally experience in digital setup is gone. Previously there are certain artist which I find it hard to listen to, such as Celine Dion Immortality..i had to lower the volume when the songs reaches chorus/climaxes as its too piercing to my ear.. but with Stellar, I no longer need to lower the volume..in fact, I can increase the volume now and hear even more details than before.

All in all, the upgrade to Stellar was a worthwhile one and I greatly recommend this product.

BlackGround Power Base

Date Added: 12/17/2023 by Claudius
The BlackGround 10x Power Base is in the system for maybe 45 Minutes. The last 10 Minutes I had goosebumps straight.

This is absolutely ridiculous. A single piano tone just moved me to tears.

Thank you.

I am absolutely speechless.

BlackGround Power Base

Date Added: 11/15/2023 by Colin Gray
The BlackGround 6x has been in my system for nearly 2 months now and, despite all other LessLoss products in my system, the 6x has brought about the most enjoyable upgrade. What I mean by that is that the system sounds more real and the vocals display more emotion – therefore I feel more emotional whilst listening. My (50+ years) enjoyment of music centres around vocals (and the lyrics).

My DIY ‘speaker design is 2-way active with everything above 200Hz coming from a single-point source (the Manger driver) to maximise the illusion of the vocals. Everything below 200Hz comes from twin 12” Acoustic Elegance dipole drivers - open-baffle, actively driven, therefore no passive crossover components nor ‘speaker boxes to destroy the illusion.

The previous best addition to my system were the Firewalls for Loudspeakers, but the 6x surpasses even that.

I’m getting close to the point where my LessLoss components cost as much as my systems ‘normal’ components!

And that leads me to the one serious problem with having purchased the 6x, against my better judgement of the post-Brexit 20% surcharge – IT IS ADDICTIVE – I NEED MORE!!

Now considering:

1. A better mains cable for the 6x
2. Adding the 8x for ‘speakers.

I was concerned that having the Firewalls for Speakers and Svens’ purpose-made-for-me special edition of his Comdevs with internal resonators to compensate for my ‘speakers not being his design, that the 8x might be overkill. However, reading Dawyd Grzyb’s review reminded me that he too uses both the Firewalls and the Comdevs and that is with Sven’s ‘speakers.

Many thanks again for such a brilliant product and elevating my nightly listening sessions to a new level of enjoyment.

Best regards,

Colin Gray

BlackGround Power Base

Date Added: 08/12/2023 by Jeff
I am very happy with this unit and would like to offer two tips. Yes AC cord quality counts quite a bit. On the level of a better power cord to your amp. However the biggest SQ improvement is realized by DE-STATTING the unit. Although it is humid here now and I de-stat my electronics weekly, the gain in musical detail and flow from de stating the Power Base is enormous.Had not done it in a couple of months and WOW! Went from listening to recordings to attending a performance! No exaggeration. Must do.

BlackGround Power Base; BlackGround 8x/10x Speaker Base

Date Added: 05/10/2023 by Mac Finney, Baltimore, Maryland
We'll, I must admit I wasn't prepared for how much the Blackground 8x Dual Channel Speaker Base would contribute to the already spectacular 10x Power Base. From the moment I heard the first track, I knew I was in for treat. It's as if you're able to reach out and hold each note & vocal in your hands. Never has the listening experience felt so tactile. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pick up my jaw from off the floor!

BlackGround Power Base

Date Added: 04/15/2023 by Mac Finney
My impressions of the Blackground 10x Power Base...
Yes I am enjoying the LLBG10x very much. Most notably it's much easier to imagine the room in which the recording was made. This may be attributed to more precise layering of instruments & vocals and that lends itself to a deepening of the soundstage. Enhanced reverb adds to decay lingering longer. PB also creates a more revealing stereo presentation. I'm now able to hear details in my favorite tracks that I never heard before. Finally, and perhaps the first thing I noticed, bass from the REL became dominant and had to be backed down, however, the subwoofer sounded more nuanced and musical. In short, these changes were not subtle at all and improved SQ beyond my expectations. I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm gobsmacked! Mac F.

BlackGround Power Base

Date Added: 04/11/2023 by Richard Stanton
When I first installed the BlackGround 10x Power Base in my system, my first thought was: surely, I'm hallucinating! The enhanced detail revelation, the positive timbral changes and the expansion of the soundstage in three dimensions, all added up to a surreal representation of music I had heard many times. Surreal on FEB 23rd, the new normal on APR 11th. I intended to remove the product and wait two days to confirm my impressions, but I cannot do it. Sorry!

I've read all of the reviews for this product, both professional and user. They all ring true, not one seems like hyperbole.

BlackGround Power Base

Date Added: 03/30/2023 by YW
To summarize my impression of the BlackGround 10x Power Base:

1. Great elimination of background noise, not dead but lively. Like a thick veil (not realized before) removed.

2. Transparency greatly improved

3. As a result of 1 and 2, microdynamics hugely improved. Subtle and far away instruments never that clearly heard. Nuances in recording venue not noticed before.

4. Whole range much faster.

5. Deeper and wider sound stage. No limit.

6. Vocal just more presence and intimate, in your room feeling.


Thanks and regards,
YW
