    FYI: Lessloss Blackground Power Base - a filter for atmospheric radiation noise

    Mack, glad you resolved your problem and are now back listening to music! They are great speaker cables :)

    I have always found out of phase sounds diffuse with less bass, but the effects can vary.

    Yes by phase I did mean the keeping red, black connections the same for both speakers. There are test CD's /downloads you can use to test this.

    Maybe out of phase? I've had no such problems with LessLoss speaker cable, even straight out of the box. True they go from OK to muddy, to bright etc but after about 48 hrs they are fine.

    MacF, we have just upgraded one of our LessLoss mains cables to the new LessLoss C-MARC Stellar Entropic mains cable in their 'Early Bird' offer. Can't wait to try it out!

    Hi DeYoung, we think you are going to like them quite a lot! We also wish we'd discovered LessLoss many years ago, we've yet to buy one of their products that did not make our system sound better. In addition to the Blackground 10x Power Base & the Blackground 8x Speaker Base, we have their...

    Found my bliss with Shindo Vosne-Romanee (+ Nagra 300p)

    Hi essrand, always nice to meet a fellow Nagra 300 lover :) With the provisos that our JJ tubes were probably not at their best, we'd highly recommend the upgrade to the ELROGs. Just more of everything and a lovely Thoriated tungsten glow. Sorry about the slightly blurry image. Downsides are...

    Found my bliss with Shindo Vosne-Romanee (+ Nagra 300p)

    I have not heard your Shindo preamp, but we do have the Nagra 300i (Integrated version) with recently fitted (450hr) matched quad of Elrog 300B's fed by a totaldac d1 tube DAC mk2 and I have to say the sound is very good indeed, at least to my ear in our room. I am glad you are enjoying yours!

    Toward a Better WBF…

    Whilst we are trying to make this forum a better place, can we please drop the 'wife acceptance factor' line. Perhaps both partners have a love of music and interest in HiFi and perhaps both partners are also interested in design and style... just saying.

    Indeed interesting, it is always so difficult when dealing with terms as naming or describing things is very hard and very subjective. Certainly, we don't think the sound was artificial or etched in any way, perhaps the exact opposite (MacF may agree?). In our experience, many of the LessLoss...

    Hi MacF, I don't really have any more info over my previous email. We like the sound, how about you?

    FYI: Lessloss Blackground Power Base - a filter for atmospheric radiation noise

    Hi MacF, maybe better late than never? ... again I am no writer, but here goes: As mentioned in a previous post we really liked the LessLoss x 10 Power base even though it took some time to burn-in in our system, perhaps because it was not near the source equipment. Adding the LessLoss x8...

    MacF I have not forgotten, but life intervened and I've not had much chance to listen. I certainly agree with your comments on a brief listen... but hopefully I will have some more to say in a few days when I've had a chance to listen properly.

    Hi MacF, our Speaker Base arrived on Friday, but the cables were shipped separately and arrived yesterday. Hopefully we will be to set it up today and will report back. We've already moved the ComDevs' to the speaker crossover input in anticipation :)
  15. AudioBear

    FYI: Lessloss Blackground Power Base - a filter for atmospheric radiation noise

    OK got it. I'm not sure we would not connect the Speaker base to the mains via a prime cable if we were already connecting it to the Power Base with the C-MARC jumpers. Just my opinion based on the diagrams on the LessLoss website. We could of course be completely wrong and cannot test as we...
