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....

Dear OP

Ultra is comparable to Zenwave D4 on price.

So it will be fair to compare those two.

But at Audiogon site, only balanced Ultra is listed not RCA.

I made another 2M Schroeder balanced IC, this time using Oyaide Focus 1 XLRs(instead of Bocchino) with a double run of Connex/DH Labs BL-Ag, between AtmaSphere MP-1 preamp output and Merlin BBAM line-level equalizer into modified VSM-MX speakers.  This is a clear improvement relative to Neutrik XLRs using a single run of BL-Ag. In additional to the customary audiophile plaudits w/r resolution, warmth, bass extension, et al., there is correction to tone and timbre to die for.  Next experiment I need to minimize the variable of the XLR connectors and drill down on the double runs.

shkong78, it's obvious you are taking this very seriously, and you will get very serious results, the kind of results that do not come to casual audiophiles.

dgarretson, No surprise that the connectors make a big difference. It also makes perfect sense that the line-level EQ would be influenced dramatically by the Schroeder Method. To my ear there is not a tonal shift by moving to dual ICs, but instead a deepening, or intensifying of the tonal character, like a deeper shade of a color of paint. Absolutely it sounds far more real. Of course, the tonality would shift with every different pair of Schroeder Method ICs. I do that consistently in my rig.

One can always pm Teo_Audio (Ken) or taras22 (Taras) and inquire about pricing on their products not listed on the market site. I strongly suspect their prices, risk-free audition period and warranty are the same as list previously on the market site. Or just pm them via one of their listed ads on the market site.
