Blackbody

Date Added: 08/04/2024 by Mac Finney
Initial impressions of the Blackbodies with DIY Blackgrounds reminds me of being at my favorite place to chill in the beautiful Maryland countryside which happens to be the gorgeous horse farm where I live. Imagine that it's a partly cloudy day, but as soon as the Sun emerges from behind a cloud, EVERYTHING POPS! You now feel more present and emotionally connected to your environment as a flood of color & detail washes over you. And that's a very good thing!

As I anxiously await a pair of Blackbodies & pair of DIY Blackgrounds with necessary cabling, I continue to be surprised by the improvements all the other LessLoss products have made. The following list reflects which LL product has had the largest positive impact to my listening experience & not the order I purchased them.

1 - 10x Blackground Power Base
2- Stellar Entropic Firewalls for Loudspeakers
3 - 8x Dual Channel Blackground Speaker Base
4 - Entropic Speaker cables + Entropic Jumpers
5 - Stellar Entropic Power Cables

Firewall Module

Date Added: 06/28/2024 by Joerg Meinhardt, Germany
Again a wonderful upgrade, this time the Firewall for Loudspeakers Stellar version.

Since 2019, I have the first version of the Firewalls for Loudspeakers with some upgrades to daisy chain on other loudspeakers with separated crossovers. Feel free to check the reviews from that time. I was very excited and up to just 3 weeks ago very happy with them.

Since 3 weeks now, I have the Stellar version in my system and am very happy and astonished of this improvement. Just switched back to to the “old” one, to check whether I was not remembering falsely. And yes, it was correct:

Just as always, everything is better, more natural and realistic, like:
- Stage wider in all directions
- Instruments and voices are better separated
- Background more silent then ever
- Attacks improved
- Bass have more structure
- Loudspeakers disappear … probably best what can be
- Better decryption of lyrics
…

Today, the “old” non Stellar are going back to LessLoss. Such a great way to upgrade with a good price and no worries about selling the old ones.

Thanks again, Louis and team, and gratulations for this new product. I love it!!

BlackGround voltage-ground interface; Blackbody

Date Added: 06/27/2024 by Drew from Portland, Oregon
This review is for both the BlackGround and Blackbody v2. I'm not going to re-state what has already been said. What I will say, is that I have recently become addicted to LessLoss products. After reading forums discussing what these devices have done for others systems, I pulled the trigger and bought one Blackbody. I hooked it up as soon as I pulled it out of its UPS package. It provided a noticeable upgrade in SQ. Since then I've added one more BB and two Blackgrounds. I just received my second BG yesterday. The improvements in SQ have me glued to my seat and shaking my head. The music sounds so good with anything I play. I stream Qobuz through Roon and it's like every track has been remastered to some super high resolution method yet unknown to mankind. My system consists of ethernet coming off my Orbi router with a Furutech cable to a FMC converter to optical, then Melco ethernet cable to a Sonnet Hermes streamer to a Sonnet Pasithia DAC via Melco cable. From there I run Jena Labs Pathfinder cables to a Whammerdyne hybrid amp driving Lii Audio Platinum 10's with a pair of REL G2 subs. I feed everything with DIY Furutech PC's using their DSP 4.1 cable and NCF connectors. I use 10ga Duelund wire. Prior to having these 4 LL there were certain songs I could play at higher volumes because they are recorded so well they simply deserve it. I tend to pick out an artist and hit play on the artist Radio Station so I can enjoy some variety. When doing this, most songs I can leave the volume up, and certain songs I have to tun it down, because something sticks out with the mastering that just doesn't sound right. I know my system is pretty good, but definitely not the last word in being resolved. Fast forward to today, I have have been streaming different genres, time periods, and formats i.e. FLAC, for several hours and I have not needed to turn the volume down. Everything played sounds great. Along with my system explained above, I have done room treatments, grounding blocks, updated my power supplies, done carbon stickers, among many other tweaks, all have had some level of positive impact on SQ, but nothing comes close to what I am experiencing. These four LL devises have been a revelation. I just placed an order for a set of Firewall for speakers, and I will continue down this path. Thank you team LessLoss for your hard work and bringing us products that truly make a difference.

Firewall Module

Stellar Firewalls for Loudspeakers are otherworldly!

I won’t apologize for sounding like a LessLoss fanboy! The Power Base, Speaker Base, Stellar Power Cables, 640x Entropic Power Modules, Standard Firewalls for Loudspeakers and Entropic Speaker Cable & jumpers I have in my setup combine synergistically to produce the most heavenly sound!

However, a recent upgrade from Standard Firewalls to the brand new Stellar edition have transformed my system from dreamy to otherworldly! Speakers vanish into blackness. Poof! Walls disappear. Poof! Music floats free & easy. Soundstage wide, tall & deep. More space around musicians & instruments. Their locations well defined. I’m able to see & hear behind each note played. Very holographic!

It’s as if I traded my very nice seats as an observer to become an active participant on stage in the making of music. The emotional attachment is intoxicating!

The LessLoss trade up program is both generous & easy. 2 stereo pairs of Standard Firewalls, 4 individual Firewalls per speaker, became Stellars configured in series, 2 red & 2 black per speaker. After 100hrs of run in time, this upgrade, combined with the other excellent LessLoss products in my system, represents a dramatic leap forward. I’ve never felt closer to the music than I do now!

Bravo Louis & LessLoss!

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

Date Added: 03/25/2024 by Michael Ross
I’ve had the the latest group of 4 C-MARC Stellar power cables for over a month now. Upgraded them all about 6 weeks ago. (Now, all my cables are the high end Stellar C-MARCs). Just thought I’d drop you my brief impressions after careful listening. 1) I’m delighted! 2) The thing that stands out is the sense of "being there”. Was it the old RCA records would advertise themselves as having “Living Presence”? That’s what I now have! A significant upgrade! I’m sure that if I were to go back to mu old cables (which I sent back to you) I’d immediately notice the difference! For the worst! Everything just seems more real, more live, and richer. Listening to the orchestral Debussy, for example, is a real treat! The textures are are richer, cleaner, and more detailed.

C-MARC Stellar Power Cable

Date Added: 03/25/2024 by Ken Sternberg
Everything I have liked about your Entropic Classic power cords is improved, particularly the lowered noise floor after the groaning ended upon completion of the prolonged struggle in close quarters removing all six Classics and replacing them with the Stellars ;-)

I agree with the user review comments of your other customers.
I could hear the improvements immediately.

Music first listened to …

“The Great Ray Charles” Atlantic SD-1259

The Ray Charles/Quincy Jones track “Undecided” is “rockin”.
There’s terrific drive I had not heard previously, & there’s great pace, fast transients, and the ambience/reverb of the double bass accompanying everyone is more noticeable. The tenor & baritone saxes, and muted and open trumpet are really live sounding, dynamic, with just beautiful tone.

A old standby recording that I’ve always gone back to listen to is Ben Webster’s “At The Renaissance”, when accessing system changes.

Here are a few observations I made in the first moments after installing the Stellars:

I think these power cords are bringing more presence & details into focus… the lows deeper, with spacial information definitely more discernible -
The audience clapping during “Georgia On My Mind” sounds like it in a different place than the musicians. Chattering of the players is heard better now.
The music’s more visceral, with quieter background.
Rowles’ piano tone is spot on.
Butler’s drum skins’ tone, and the irregular “off” or “accent” beats of his sticks on the cymbals, are just better. Jim Hall’s guitar’s bell tones float lightly above everything.

Good move, definitely, especially if things are going to get better from here on in!

I’m excited about hosting our Philadelphia Audio Group this September, and I will certainly encourage anyone interested in why everything is sounding so good to check out your website - particularly the video you recommend, and the “Best Steps Forward” article.

All the best!

C-MARC Stellar Power Cable

Date Added: 03/03/2024 by Sven Palvig
At last, my four LessLoss Stellar Entropic cables were delivered.
I have waited impatiently with the silver lining of practicing patience.
It takes 30 hours to produce a LessLoss Stellar Entropic cable of two meters. However, the cables are completely raw, and they have to be adapted through playing music, but that is part of the experience: Experiencing how the cables evolve with music - what a pleasure!
New details emerge from familiar music. Amazing!
I am thrilled and amazed at how it can improve the sound. This is astounding to me!
I had absolutely amazing sound before, but with these power cables both the cheap Prime and their top cable Stellar Entropic, just so much has happened! There's simply more to it all!
The music is opened up even more. Now, it’s real music. To the ear it’s real, live music.
LessLoss produces less noise. Less noise means a better chance for the devices to deliver exactly what they were built for. It’s a win-win. LessLoss means less loss. Less lost music! It makes you listen to the music more carefully. For example, listening to the Danish song “Den Lige Vej” with Kim Larsen sounds like the singer is right there in front of you singing live. Even the smallest mouth movements are now heard much better and more naturally.
I have also tested the cables with choral music: Himmelrand SACD from 2L. Great recording! With my old system, I could more or less pinpoint the individual singers, and I still can. But now, I can hear them standing up and singing naturally. The choir is singing here at its natural height, wide and deep.
Sounds in the background appear as well. Low sounds from drums far back, don’t drown out anymore. I hear the different touches of the drums. It is excellent! With a singer like Mari Boine Persen in "Eg veit i himmerik ei borg", you hear how her voice is graduated with detail, getting weaker and weaker until it’s silent.
You experience the silence in the room. This is huge! It is transformative! Silence in the music means more calmness, and the music becomes far more stress relieving.
Music can be wild, and Stellar Entropic allows it to be! With Stellar Entropic, there is dynamism, it’s terrific! With Stellar Entropic, there is silence in the music! When brass cymbals are struck, they sound metallic, as they should be! The treble is so clean and detailed! With drums, you hear the drum skin and the bang!
You experience things in the background where people are talking.
With Stellar Entropic, you can experience more of what LessLoss Prime provides. It’s what Bindbreaker also does, just far more!
Thank you for reading my experiences so far! I’ve had help with the translation to English, so please excuse any typos. There’s probably lots that I’ve forgotten to write here, so I may add more when I experience these cables further.
Thanks to Renè and Henrik for introducing me to LessLoss cables! My system has moved from awesome sound to even more lively and natural sound. With more wildness, dynamics and silence! These cables opened up the music so that my room appears bigger and deeper!
