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!

C-MARC Digital Cable

Hallo,
superschneller Versand, trotz Feiertag am ersten Arbeitstag danach hier angekommen.
Das Kabel selbst macht haptisch einen sehr guten Eindruck. Zu meinem bisher benutzten Oehlbach
Digitalkabel sind deutliche Zunahme an Details, feinste Strukturen sind hörbar, Dynamik und
Natürlichkeit auszumachen. Ich bin von diesem Kabel begeistert, danke!

Bindbreaker Vibration Control Equipment Foot

Date Added: 05/17/2021 by Stephen Braude
Because I was reorganizing my equipment rack, I did an extensive shootout between the Bindbreakers and several other serious footers, including the seemingly nifty MIG-SX footers from Synergistic Research. And I tried each type of footer in several different configurations under the component, because different positioning of the footers usually altered the sound considerably.

I tried the Bindbreakers and SR footers under several components and in every case the Bindbreakers were more detailed and musical. The sound with the Mig-SX had a seemingly ineliminable edge to it, and (I suppose not surprisingly) they sounded more metallic than the Bindbreakers. And since I had some Symposium Rollerblocks on hand, I also compared the Bindbreakers to them. Again, the sound with the Bindbreakers was more detailed and natural. This was not the first time I've compared the Bindbreakers to other footers. I've found them superior to Isoacoustics Orea Bordeaux, and vastly superior to Stillpoints minis. I've also found them to outperform (though not so dramatically) some expensive footers from Spira, which a friend loaned me to try.

So I contend that the innovative Bindbreakers are a LessLoss triumph. One of your greatest deals. Bravo!

Firewall Module

Date Added: 04/23/2021 by Jörg Stanislawski
A few days ago i received the new 640 x Firewall module that replaces the 64 x that i used
for my power distributor that only supports the phono amp and my Mc step-up transformer.

I listened to three tracks with the 64 X Module and then installed the new 640 X.
Right away this resulted in a clearly audible sound improvement.

To describe it briefly, i don't want to use the usual phrases. It's like reading a book without glasses and everything is blurry. You put the glasses on and everything comes into focus,
or equivalent, like using a magnifying glass. With the upgrade program there’s no need to think twice to order one.

I don't want to devalue the 64 x module with this, it's a great product, but it's once again incredible that it can still get much better. I'm already looking forward to the upgrade of the c-marc module.
In the meantime, I've reached the point where I can blindly buy any new product from Lessloss if it meets my needs and fits my budget. Fantastic product, again.

Delivery of my order had been perfect. After a very limited listening time I am convinced that upgrading from 64x to 640x BRINGS a very substantial improvement in the musicality of my system. Congratulations for this new success of LessLoss and a big thank to your team.

I received the FW 640x. Thanks for the super fast shipping.

It is better than the 64x, for sure. Well done! Better on every dimension, resolution and musicality!

The 640X is amazing. It is on my transport the place where your filters have had the least impact in the past compared to power amp and powered woofers. It is MUCH more transparent with a much lower noise floor and increased space and depth. Increased tonality as well. These changes pale in comparison to the sense of musical expression it allows-even with distortion and poor tone ie Woodstock Live it feels like the performers are in front of you blasting away. The micro-dynamics become macro-dynamics as the singer gains both nuance and dynamic power. Artistic intent to the max! Cannot wait to hear these on my power components.

Firewall Module

Firewall for Speakers replaced "black box" speaker filters costing twice as much and, after break-in, made my vintage Sound Lab speakers BLOSSOM to new heights and a never before attained enjoyment of my system.

C-MARC Classic loudspeaker cable, stereo pair

Replaced "Black Box" cables costing twice as much and being half as efficient in transporting my vintage Sound Labs to a new level.

Firewall Module

Date Added: 03/16/2021 by Chi Ng
Just added the speaker firewall in my system last week. For the first 24 hours sounded much quieter in noise than before, but at the same time sounded slightly muted and rolled off.

However after 2 days of on and off playing, the system simply blossomed. The soundstage is wider than it has ever been. My system was faster and also had much more noticeable detail then before. The improvement in my opinion is better than a component upgrade.

I am a purist audiophile. Was very sceptical about adding extra pieces of wire into the system. But after hearing the speaker firewall in my system, i cant live without them.
