C-MARC RCA unbalanced signal cable, stereo pair

Date Added: 01/02/2018 by Ken Sternberg
Quiet, relaxed, with a sense of ease, and with a slightly distant presentation of the soundstage, with timing & dynamics that are more natural than hyped. Music becomes emotionally, as well as intellectually involving. Detail is present, in proper context. In other words, instruments and voices sound real, with all the details balanced, and heard as part of the fabric of the whole.

Perhaps even better than another very quick set of cables that I use presently, there is immediacy in the strike & start-up of transients, with long trailing decays.

Not so much about creating excitement, but rather showing off realistically what is so easily missed; it is the more musically satisfying approach.

C-MARC Classic loudspeaker cable, stereo pair

Date Added: 01/01/2018 by Jörg Stanislawski
The generous offer with the introduction of the new cable line made me order a new set of speaker cables. I wasn’t sure what to expect, would the difference be big enough to make the purchase reasonable?

When the cables arrived, the first thing that I noticed when I first touched it, was a fabulous feeling, very soft and nice, that is totally different to most other cables with their outside, mostly made of plastic in what form ever.

This is the most flexible cable that I ever had in my hands. I can’t think of any problems to place the cable, even in sparse and cramped places. If you use cable lifters/supporters, you may need twice the quantity than usual.

I tried to borrow an expensive cable set from a nearby dealer, or to make a comparison directly at the shop. That was not possible, as they didn’t have the time before christmas, nor had they any cables left to lend. So I can only report my own findings. By now the cables have a run time of approximately 140 hours or more. But right from the start the cables clearly outperformed my Zu cables. Actually I had a feeling as if these cables squeeze out the last drop of information from the signal that is running through it.

Everything improved to an extensive degree. The imaging of the room information in depth and width now reaches far beyond the sides of the speakers. Instruments and voices got a much better separation, it is as if the imaging of the 3D picture of the sound gotvcompletely newly arranged. Acoustical instruments sound unbelievably realistic. Bass has an impressive clarity, punch and depth now.
There is a big quantity of additional information that I hear with every played record, CD or file, that was simply not there before.

What really astonished me is, that the records or CDs that sounded excellent so far, where I didn’t expect a big improvement, reached new heights with the C-MARC cables that seemed impossible.

And the best compliment to make is that the C-MARC speaker cables have a fantastic musicality. There are so much more information to detect, but these won’t come in a technical sort of way, I don’t hear any aggressive high frequencies, some records become much more listenable, as their sharpness is completely gone without the loss of any details. (Instead there is so much more detail.) That is simply wonderful.

Fantastic cables, thank you!

C-MARC Classic Power Cable

Date Added: 12/27/2017 by Jeff W
I just got my upgraded C-MARC AC cables. I must remember that all my previous Less Loss products have taken 6-10 WEEKS to fully break in. Given that reality I am very impressed at how wonderful these wires are. I will ignore tonality for now as that will improve quite a bit going forward ( some pluses and some minuses vs previous cables for now but that is meaningless).

The most impressive and important difference (my first edition C-MARC cables were already a huge upgrade over AC cables that cost $4K and are widely lauded) is the pace and musical communication these wires allow. I feel like I have a top notch analog system for the first time (it's all digital). Even listening from two rooms away I am drawn to the music and must discipline myself to go back to typing this. The momentum and the fluidity of microsecond changes in volume and emphasis causes me to imagine a 100 pound turntable in the other room. It is just so SOLID and unstoppable!

Imaging is magical. Even studio effects are captivating as things bounce around in three dimensional space. Acoustic recordings sound very present and real. I have been startled in a way I have not experienced from a stereo system by sudden sounds and the tail of sounds as they diminish are highly audible and very natural.

Different recordings sound much more different from one another. I prefer to listen to what I like rather than to audiophile discs. Mediocre to bad recordings that I am very familiar with ( The Who Sell Out for example) provide utterly transformed listening experiences. It's not the relatively trivial "I hear things I never heard before". It's the much more profound experience of discovering musically meaningful instrumental lines that you never noticed with other cables in place the first 100 times you listened to this CD.

I struggle to imagine what this will be like in six weeks but for now I am experiencing an upgrade that I would have thought possible only by changing out all my equipment for gear of triple the cost.

Bindbreaker Vibration Control Equipment Foot

Date Added: 12/26/2017 by Ken Sternberg
This is how I use the first set of BindBreakers; they are resting on a Silent Running Audio Ohio IsoBase, supporting the upgraded TW Raven Black Night Feet of the TW Raven GT turntable. Yes, they even improve the isolation further... and I thought everything was already maxed out!

There's more detail & warmth & ambience, and more room to put stuff under the turntable, too - like my new Miyajima Mono Step Up Transformer.

;-)

C-MARC XLR balanced signal cable, stereo pair

Date Added: 12/26/2017 by Joseph L G, Los Angeles
Over the past few weeks I have auditioned your C-MARC XLR Interconnects in my audio system and am very impressed with what I am hearing. In fact, the C-MARCs have supplanted my venerable reference cables that cost 5 times as much. Your C-MARC XLR cable beats my priciest XLR interconnects: Jorma Origo, Von Schweikert Master Built, and Stealth Metacarbon.

The C-MARCs have an open, balanced and vibrant sound that is clear, full-bodied and non-fatiguing. With the C-MARCs everything sounds more realistic and present, without being in-your-face or impolite. It is rare for a cable to be both highly resolving and musical. Compared to the C-MARCs, my heretofore reference cables sound dull and like they are missing information. The C-MARCs not only handily beat much more expensive cables; they complement and play nicely with equipment and other cables in my audio chain. The C-MARC interconnects have made a positive difference that I can easily hear and appreciate. Thank you.

C-MARC XLR balanced signal cable, stereo pair

Date Added: 12/06/2017 by mdc
I wanted to inform you that during the listening sessions of the Accuphase CD player and amplifier that I recently purchased, the audition took place with a very expensive, top-of-the-line Acrolink loom.

I took my C-MARC XLR cable with me and it clearly sounded better than the Acrolink interconnect.
Considering the price of the Acrolink (close to $2,000), this says a lot about the C-MARC cable!

Firewall Module

Date Added: 11/23/2017 by Apirameth
With the LessLoss power distributor (with 36 Firewall module) & C-MARC power cables, they significantly reduce HF noises generated from my audio system (normally I could not listen to music from my system longer than 2 hours). After I use the LessLoss power distributor & power cable in the system, it was so unbelievable that I could listen more than 4 hours with the new experience of music from my audio equipment. It is far, very far beyond my expectation. It's just simply PERFECT for me!

C-MARC bulk wire and cable

Date Added: 11/16/2017 by Sven Boenicke
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.

Firewall Module

Date Added: 10/06/2017 by Hans Martin Lie, Norway
I also built a home made power filter using two stacks of 3 'naked' Firewall boards each, and got the plug-and-play Firewall 5X and one USB Firewall Key. I also got one DFPC Signature mains cable for the Firewall filter. They all work perfectly together and give a huge improvement in more silent background, a bigger soundstage, clearer and deeper bass, and an increase of the organic natural aspects of the sound. All this is achieved by killing noise. I simply can't listen without this product in my setup. This is an unbelievable high-end extension in so many ways!

I am deeply impressed by Your knowledge and development of noise and electro magnetic radiation suppression. Your products are truly superb. Yes it costs some money but I personally do not regret it. This is my best additional high-end investment!

C-MARC RCA unbalanced signal cable, stereo pair

Date Added: 10/05/2017 by Hans Martin Lie, Norway
Before summer I had an audio session with some of my best audio friends. One of my my friends brought a pair of the new C-MARC RCA Interconnects. we tried it out in many position in my audio rig and we heard right from the start this was a good high end cable with great natural timbre, better holographic and more organic sound. For fun we also tried a single RCA as a digital 75 Ohm cable with great results. It simply blew away all my other digital cables. I emailed Louis and got an Early Bird offer and ordered a pair of C-MARC RCA cables and one single run for S/PDIF. This is a well made, nice, flexible and incredible design. I do not understand how it is possible to produce this complex "Litz." It is a fantastic hum bucking cable that truly works.
