{"product_id":"lessloss-c-marc-classic-netzkabel","title":"LessLoss C-MARC Classic Power Cable Schuko\/IEC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe LessLoss C-MARC Classic is a high-end power cable that, with double the strand cross-section and noise-cancelling C-MARC geometry, supplies amplifiers in particular with clean, powerful power. It's the cable that made LessLoss's name in the trade press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the Prime is designed for sources, the Classic plays to its strengths where real current flows. Honestly: a good power amp on the stock cable is a bit like a sports car on economy tyres – it runs, but you can tell there's more in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the C-MARC Classic?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Classic uses 384 individually lacquered copper strands of 0.125mm per pole, counter-wound in spirals around a cotton core, with mercerised cotton between the layers as well. For every clockwise winding there's an exactly mirrored counterpart – common-mode interference picked up cancels itself out as a result. With a total cross-section of 14.14mm², it offers double the copper of the Prime without becoming stiff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypical for the Classic are a calmer, blacker background, more authority in the bass, and a flowing, effortless midrange. The trade press sees it similarly:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"C-Marc is a complex, but smooth fusion of evolution and revolution, that rivals upper echelon performance at non-expected value given their price.\" – Mono \u0026amp; Stereo, February 2019 (awarded \"Highly Recommended Product\" and \"Best Buy\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"C-MARC is quite the upgrade.\" – Positive Feedback, July 2018 (rated A+++)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho's the C-MARC Classic for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor integrated amplifiers, power amps, and power filters – anywhere current is needed in larger amounts. Also for anyone who wants to cable their whole system consistently. Honestly: on a frugal streamer, the Prime is often already sufficient – there, the Classic isn't strictly necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Classic is the heart of the C-MARC family and, for most amplifiers, the most sensible point in the price-performance ratio. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we see it as the level where you rarely feel you've invested too little – or too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: high-end power cable, terminated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology: C-MARC (Common-Mode Auto-Rejecting), counter-wound strands in a two-stage fractal braid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConductor: 384 individually lacquered copper strands of 0.125mm per pole, cotton core, interlayers of mercerised cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal conductor cross-section: 14.14mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulation: thin-walled, transparent polyolefin membrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter braid: abrasion-resistant PET monofilament braid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains plug: IeGO Dreamworks Ti2400(M) Schuko (CEE 7\/4), 16A \/ 250V, gold-plated tellurium copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevice connector: IeGO Dreamworks IEC C13; IEC C19 (Furutech FI-31(G)) on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLengths: 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m, 3m; other lengths on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: LessLoss, Lithuania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between C-MARC Prime and Classic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Classic has double the copper cross-section of the Prime at 14.14mm², plus additional cotton interlayers. It's designed primarily for current-hungry devices such as amplifiers. The Prime is the more affordable choice for sources with low current draw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Classic Entropic Process worth it over the Classic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction and cross-section are identical; the Entropic Process version additionally goes through LessLoss's own break-in process and, according to the manufacturer, sounds more mature from the start. Whether that's worth the extra cost to you depends on your system and your ears – we're happy to advise you on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Schuko plug fit a Swiss outlet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot directly into a Swiss type T13 wall outlet. The Schuko plug is designed for Schuko sockets, as found on many high-quality hi-fi power strips and power filters. If your device connects directly to the wall, talk to us – we'll check with the Swiss distributor which plug variant is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the LessLoss C-MARC Classic at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we see the power supply as part of the whole system, not as a separate item. We'll tell you which device benefits most from the Classic, clarify plug, length, and combination with a power strip or filter, and help with installation.
