C-MARC loudspeaker cable, stereo pair

Date Added: 06/30/2018 by Phil
I have owned many of the great cables over the past 25 years. 1st was the Randal Research cables, then Ed Meitner cables back in the early 80's and from their Transparent, MIT both reference and Oracle, and many others that were good cables with a list too long to mention, some were way overpriced for the performance and sound quality, all pushed either the top end or bottom end forward which impacted the mid-range some more than others. Some were enjoyable, some I sold within a few months, none really bad but all had defects in reproduction or colorations if you will.

I purchased my 1st LessLoss power cord when they first came out and over the many years, I've owned every one of their cables at some point.

The new design C-MARC cables are the best design yet. They are so musical, open, dynamic and best of all the natural detail, and sounding. No one area of reproduction is highlighted, and their sound is so natural it throws you at first. Once broken in they become better and what you will find is you relax and you just enjoy the performance, I mean your whole body and mind relax due to the even presentation and not having to work to pick up the small details.

When I received the cables I thought, wow, not much to them. Light, thin, easy to handle and very flexible, the speaker cable really threw me after using garden hose sizes in the past and some with those huge boxes. To be honest, I was turned off on them at first, I said, no way these can do bottom end right. So I was somewhat prejudiced to start.

Well, I got the interconnects and speaker wire hooked up and sat down to listen. 1st day, rather soft sounding, 2nd day, more open but a bit zippy in the highs, then around day four things started to settle in from the bottom up and then the fun began.

I love all types of well-recorded music, the medium does not matter, recording quality does. From Big Band to Prince, Elvis to Sinatra, Bille Holliday to Diane Krall, Blues, Folk, Classical, I gave them all a spin. And on each and every one, it was like I never heard them sound so good, so totally correct, and right. Right is the word that always comes into my mind, you feel the performance and intent of the recording and production.

I have a friend who is an audiophile and I told him to try at least the interconnects, so he purchased a set and wrote me that one pair alone gave him a 40% improvement in his system. He uses the Anchorwave on his source which he loves there. He about had the same impressions as I did on what this design does.

You will read reviews that say I cannot tell you how this will sound in your system, and that may be true for those cables, but I am very assured in saying these cables will make any system sound better because what they do what no other cable I've owned has been able to do and some cost 4-5 figures.

These cables have made my system more enjoyable and that is what our hobby is about, the enjoyment of music. Don't hesitate to give them a try, after your initial shock of their design and weight your next shock will be the sound of your system.

These are great cables at a more than fair price, and in our hobby nowadays that is rare where most gear is focused on the top 5% of wage earners. Great job, Louis. You've made another customer more than happy.

C-MARC 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!
