Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

I think this topic deserves its own thread , where use double ic through y adapters , from source to preamp, Can’t connect it from Preamp to Amp...For me the result is huge, I can’t go back to single ic....

Thanks Doug , I think I will have Grannyring - Bill, make me up some with the Dueland wire . Don't worry . I will not be using them with the Exogal ion/comet I have . I take it you have not tried it with your Ion ? Or have you corresponded with the Exogal team about it ? Thanks,mike.

I have used the Exogal Comet alone with Schroeder Method several times, and in fact now it is in a system that has blown out of the water the previous conclusion of what that DAC can do. Some radical results happening lately. 

I have not tried doubling the umbilical between the Comet and Ion. Most definitely I would have to talk to Exogal first to see what they thought of it. I like the idea of extreme improvements, but I also like the idea of not blowing up stuff.

@douglas_schroeder  Would love to learn your results of doubling the umbilical between the Comet and Ion, should Exogal approve.

david_ten, yes, that would be fascinating, as the combo is superb even without the Schroeder Method. With it, I presume the results could be very disturbing for some extreme equipment manufacturers. 

I will contact Exogal about this.

As per conversation between Jeff Haagnestad of Exogal and myself he is strongly against doubling the umbilical between the Exogal products. He went into several technical reasons why it would not be good, and so I will not recommend it. I do not typically dismiss manufacturers' recommendations on such things.

I have been using the Comet alone with the Schroeder method ICs into various amps with terrific success. I am currently running sonicTransporter i7 and Signature Rendu SE into Comet and direct to various amps. Superb! (These have been reviewed for Dagogo.com)
