Firewall Module

Date Added: 04/23/2020 by Brendan
I have the Firewall for Loudspeakers in my system for a few days now.

System consists of Innuos Zenith Mk3 ---- SoTM TX usb Utra ---- PS Audio Directstream Dac ---- Audio Flight FLS10 Int. amp. ---- Audiovector Avantgarde Speakers.

After a slight improvement in SQ in the initial few hours the Firewall for Loudspeakers have been a revelation after three days in the system.
The bass is way more solid and tight and treble is distinct without being in any sense bright.
Each instrument is now completely separate whereas before, there was a certain blending which I did not notice until it was gone.
I feel like a veil has been lifted from the speakers and they now are playing to their full potential.
I am so happy I purchased these unique little units.

Louis:
Thank you for your support and product. Nicely made, fairly priced and worth the wait. Paraphrasing and plagiarizing those with better ears I will use the terms, "more musical, less mechanical" and bringing a supple fluidity to brass and voice. Tone is more 'elastic' and 'sensual'. This took less time for my wife to appreciate, as is usually the case, but after 16-20 hrs my appreciation of your efforts aligned with those who have previously sent reviews. Not to the same degree but perhaps with more time and more wine... well done.

I’ve been running in the speaker Firewalls for about 3 weeks.

At this point, I'm very happy with the Firewalls — they were worth the cost. The difference they have made is an extension of the difference your other products have made — an even bigger, almost holographic soundstage (especially reaching out toward the listening chair), more air between instruments and more density to individual notes, less glare, an almost liquid presentation to whatever music I am playing.

It helped to adjust my speaker placement after breaking in the firewalls. Strikes me that it makes sense to do that any time you add something to your system.

C-MARC Classic loudspeaker cable, stereo pair; Firewall Module; C-MARC Classic RCA unbalanced signal cable, stereo pair

First of all, I would like to thank you for the excellent cable and speaker firewalls and for the excellent customer service.

Now the RCA and triaxial speaker cables are also playing in my music system.
Although the cables haven't yet played music for long, I am already enthusiastic about the musicality.
For me, the cables and speaker firewalls are an absolute must in my music system.
Without this, I miss the tonal substance, the timing, the fine details and the musical energy that are so important for my perception of authentic music.
The music now sounds even more powerful, dynamic and homogeneous.

With these unique cables and FireWalls I have the feeling that I can fully exploit the potential of my music system (LDMS server including Ideon Audio 3R Master Time, Lampizator SE GG 2.5 Pacific Edition including preamplifier, NAT transmitter, Harbeth 40.2, etc.).
In addition, the cables and firewalls are very meticulously and precisely manufactured.
My eyes are spoiled too.

I am very happy that I chose LessLoss!
Stay healthy.

Thank you very much and good luck.

Good day,
LessLoss firewalls for speakers are now playing in my music system.
I was convinced that the LessLoss products are very good.
A friend of mine has the cables in his music system and is also very enthusiastic.
Already the first few minutes, my Harbeth 40.2 equipped with the FireWall makes music like never before.
The music sounds very clean and transparent. But the music doesn't get annoying.
The music fascinates me a lot more now.
An excellent result that I did not expect.
For me, the firewall is essential.
I downsized my music system and no longer wanted to invest in high prices for cables and power cleaners.
Before the LessLoss products, various high-priced cables and cleaners from Schnerzinger, Stealth Audio Cables, Shunyata, Audience, Yamamura etc. were used in my previous music system.
Given the fantastic performance of the FireWalls, I no longer look back at the cables and cleaner I sold.
But on the contrary. I am very happy to now own the firewalls that are absolutely worth their price and offer excellent musicality.
I recommend every serious music lover to test the FireWalls in their music system.
I hope that the three-axis C-Marc speaker cable and the RCA cable I ordered will arrive soon so that.
It will be a feast for my hearing.
Thank you very much and good luck.

Firewall Module

Date Added: 03/15/2020 by Michael H
With now a complete system of Bakoon electronics and the Soundkaos open baffle Liberation speakers, I have achieved a sound that I have yet to find from anything else - and I've been to "most of the shows". And I've also played with / demoed this combination at shows like RMAF, Munich High-End, Gothenburg Audio show and Hifi-deluxe. So I know it's sound intimately and from many different settings.

This core setup already defies belief because there’s so much presence and incredible soundstaging going on - on a completely dark canvass/background.

But, I have been using Lessloss on and off (Homage to time loom + DFPC power cables) over the past many years - never letting go of my DFPCs. So I already had great respect for the brand, but it was still more out of "curiosity" and "pure fun" to see what could possibly be achieved with the Firewalls for Loudspeakers that I ordered them during the fall.

Immediately the Firewalls added “believability” / realism - where I honestly thought that I already had all of what could possibly be made in my setup. But no - with the Firewalls, I experienced more "organism" (not "body" in the usual musical terms, but instead more lifelike) to all layers in the music.

Taking them out of the system left me with a feeling of disappointment and disbelief - that something I knew so well (and had loved) could be given such a small tweak (both in size and cost) to make such a big difference. So of course it's there to stay. But it also means that there are more Lessloss products coming my way soon.

Firewall for Loudspeakers,
Ten days ago I received a speaker firewall. There's simply more music.
The stage is deeper with better bass, midde and high tones and more silence, the sound is excellent
Congratuations for the excellent product.

Ernie, from Hungary.

Nagyon jó, mindenkinek hallani kell! (Very good, everybody needs to hear!)

Echo's End

Date Added: 03/09/2020 by Joerg Meinhardt
Inspired by the review from Hifi Knights with comparison of the Echo’s End Original DAC (EE) to highest level Lampizator “Pacific” DAC, with all the previous experiences with LessLoss products, I quickly decided, that I had to have an EE. Well maybe being bored or nervous about the delay of the new C-MARC Entropic power cables :)

My DAC was a Lampizator “Baltic” at just 20% of the price of the Pacific, that Hifi Knights used. So almost identical price as the EE. So the EE should shine even more against the “small” Baltic (well, the body is rather large). Please consider, that this Baltic already had a great and pretty natural performance!!

The EE came in a sturdy flight case, so no worries about shipment damage. It looks nice and smelled very nice too.

Plugged it in, listened for a few minutes. Unplugged the Lampizator right away and never plugged it in again .. except for when the buyer wanted to see it … via WhatsApp, what a smart move :)

After now 400 hrs playing time (most of it at volume 0, of course) the rollercoaster burn-in seems to have come to a stable performance. Louis proposed to wait with final judgement at least 2 weeks, because it would still open up … and it surely did!!

The stage now goes way beyond the front and side walls with great separation of individual sound sources. So much more ambient information can be heard against the quiet background. Overall the space seems to leave my room, which brings up a more “I am there” feeling, than “They are here”. The big benefit … you do not have to kick the musicians out after their performance … just leave the event :)

Shape of space and environment change with the recordings, so I am not so stuck in my always same hifi corner.

Every sound now seems to have sort of a floating body. So many more details I never discovered before and all sounds belonging there. Such lowered distortion and clear voices without sounding anything flat or plasticky, but rather sweet and natural and separate very nicely from the rest … wonderful!! Sibilance, my enemy, better controlled and natural, than ever before.

Instruments timbres and textures are very natural … strongly improved. This fact, and the felt higher resolution reveal a lot of previously unnoticed instruments in complex arrangements.

Transients are not as distorted and give more room for enjoying the colours of the materials’ sounds until the decay. It gives me an overall happier and less fatiguing feeling without distorted slaps into the face.

As a normal change with LessLoss products, the bass is stronger but controlled with rich textures, the best I ever had.

And beyond official specs it plays up to DXD = 24 bit / 352.8 khz. Try it, you’ll like it!!

Highly recommended!!!

And thanks so much to Louis, Vil and the rest of the LessLoss team for making my listening happier than ever before!!
…. can’t wait for the C-MARC entropic power cables …

[Firewall for Loudspeakers]

OMG! After an overnight cook-in I just sat down to some serious listening of these new speaker doobies. Well, 'serious' didn't last long as I smiled and laughed increasingly to myself, or just sat there with my mouth open. To keep it brief, presence, clarity, space and imaging are the most obvious beneficiaries so far, but everything is better. It is indeed like a speaker upgrade, but all their virtues that I loved before I just adore now. Way more obvious to me than the effects of the FW 64x, which were pretty good but I felt took a while to really bed in. Most of my (extensive) LL cables were all bought used, and obvious upgrades each time.

There's some real filtering going on as some lesser quality tracks with more digititis are better listenable, with the added enhancements already mentioned. Garbage in, recycled out, perhaps?

There's a truism of course, that it's hard to envisage further improvements in one's system are possible until something great moves it to even greater heights. But then you remember, if you already know, how real instruments and voices sound and how far there still may be to go. These FWs beat my prior Bybee speaker bullets, and to my ears have given the greatest quantum improvement in my system , excepting one major source change 3 years ago. Just. And with a bit more time on these things that may change. Thanks Louis and team. You deserve your success.

C-MARC bulk wire and cable

Date Added: 03/01/2020 by Vladimir Markovic
Since I replaced my Cardas speaker cable by C-MARC wire, I am still in a state of shock.
It is simply a magical improvement.

I still did not get around to rewiring my amp and turntable with the remainder of the C-MARC bulk wire. I just HAD to continue listening to music ever since the C-MARC has been in my speaker system.
