Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

herndonb

Doubling up on the wire from amp to speaker made a huge improvement on my system. Perhaps, because the speakers are 4 ohm, but it sounded dramatically better. I was quite certain I wouldn't hear anything, but it was the opposite. TRY IT. :-)
Amazing!

Congratulations to those who have tried and found out. :)  

Thanks to everyone for your help! -:)  

I purchased 2 from Audio Sensibility and love the detail, especially in the midrange. More clarity and solid bass. I'm thinking these are keepers!

Bringing this thread back up as I never seen or heard of it before and just read about the S.M. for the first time when i was looking at the Anticables website and it was mentioned.... I am curious as to the systems of posters who are using this method. Reference? Mid fi?

Is there any chance of damaging very expensive components? Can it overload the circuit or the equipment in let’s say a phono stage to the preamp?
Thank you.

I tried it on my jolida phono stage from my music  hall going to my art audio preamp it works, no damage was done.i also tried if from my Yamaha sacd s1000 going to my viva integrated 300b it works...Read Doug post on this thread , for safe use, or pm Him.very nice guy.

vinylshadow, thanks for asking; this is intended as a premium, HiFi activity. I intend it for use on the best systems available. I believe the Method is beneficial for all systems, but in particular I intend it for high end rigs. 

I have continued to use my method in a variety of systems with no ill effects, and always very nice improvement in sound quality. Recently, I have been reviewing a premium tube output DAC that responds beautifully to the Schroeder Method of IC Placement. 

I have also tried it with yet another set of cables (also under review, and again have success. I have not signed off on use of my method with passively networked cables. I don't much care for them anyway. As prior, until it is demonstrated to be benign to nearly any conceivable system or with particular cables, it is a "do at your own risk" activity. But, again, I have not heard of a single instance of trouble.
