Firewall 640X - Entropic Process

Featuring the latest and most advanced LessLoss Skin-filtering technology, the Firewall Module blocks noise pollution to levels traditional capacitor and coil-based solutions can only hope to approach. Developed from our critically acclaimed DFPC (Dynamic Filtering Power Cable), the LessLoss Firewall Module reveals hidden subtleties of the entire audio event as it eliminates the widespread negative effects of high frequency noise pollution. Use the Firewall module with any equipment so that its potential performance can be realized in today's over-polluted electro-magnetic atmosphere.

Entropic Process: a most profound LessLoss technology

We investigated the mysterious burn-in phenomena over 20 years, following it very closely, and learning ever more about it, until we figured out a way to actually use it in design of actual product. This has been on our creative minds ever since day one when we first experienced it decades ago. But it remained elusive to us, until now! 

This does not mean we have abolished all initial changes in sound quality. It only means we developed means and methods to accelerate it, pre-prime it, so to speak, to the point where in your first two weeks of listening you might go through, say, some 200 years of regular burn-in. The burn-in process has not been downtrodden by us, but put on steroids to serve us even better! This is the genius of the new Entropic Process. 

Prerequisites in order to comprehend this.

If you have never experienced any strange burn-in effects, you will not yet know whereof we speak. The strange burn-in effect remains undoubtedly, the most mysterious of all aspects involved in high end audio. Appreciated, experienced, and tolerated by thousands, understood by none, it remains an uncracked code of mystery which has represented a strange bottleneck to designers until now. Sometimes it is a cause of ridicule, but sooner or later everyone experiences it and tones down their cynicism. 

What is burn-in?

Burn-in is a strange phenomenon in which newly made gear, or cables, go through a series of inexplicable initial transitional phases in terms of performance. One day the sound may be brittle and course, and another day the sound may be rubbery and elastic. One may experience phases of bass-heavy submersion as if one is under water, and then periods where one feels the woofers are too weak in balance with the mids and treble. Eventually these two extremes converge into a balanced, stable performance, a mature and pleasant tonal balance. This process is dependent on two things. 

First, it depends on what the total system transparency is. If the system has deep flaws, such as being located in a room with ceramic tiles and many exposed glass windows, of course this acoustic echo chamber will mask such effects greatly. But if the system is set up well in an acoustically well organized space, you'll easily hear them. 

Secondly, it depends on how sonically neutral the fresh product actually is. If it is severely skewed in some arbitrary tonal direction, it will be more difficult to sense just what is going on in terms of this burn-in process. An example of this is found in multi-strand copper conductors with silver plating. But if the product is a sonic giant in terms of its ability to portray just what is going on in the recording, without editorializing, one will hear huge burn-in swings initially. 

It is most likely that LessLoss products portray exactly the same changes that any new wire goes though. The only difference is that C-MARC has such a fantasically low noise floor, that one can more readily perceive and experience these large burn-in swings because so much more detail is exposed to the listener than usual. It goes without saying that you simply can't have it both ways: you cannot expect a totally transparent cable to reveal real data on a recording that won't simultaneously also reveal a much deeper underlying physical aspect of burn-in as it matures and settles in performance. The performance is the ability to show ever more minute change in signal. This also must mean, at the same time, that it will show ever more minute changes in whatever actually constitutes burn-in (molecular structure re-aligning or whatever it is). 

And a mystery it is and remains.
