Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

I have the Benchmark AHB2 and DAC3 and came across this IC method on the Benchmark AHB2 Impressions thread.  So I just ordered a set of balanced XLR Y-cables and IC's from Bluejeans Cables, as an experiment.  The Y-cables and IC's will all be 1 footers to keep the loom of spaghetti under control.  I went from a star quad cable to a lower capacitance Van Damme and immediately noticed a change in the sound that I liked so I am curious to see how the Schroeder Method works in my setup.

Are you saying the Y cables are going to be the same length as the ICs, at 1'? That would be a rather odd implementation of the Schroeder Method, with the Y cables the same length as the ICs. In almost every implementation I have done/seen, the ICs are much longer than the Y cables. 

Frankly, I'm not sure you will gain great benefit if you end up with two pair of ICs totalling 3'; the Y cables contributing 2', and the ICs themselves at 1' long. I really cannot tell you the outcome of that, as it is fairly the reverse of the intent of the Schroeder Method as implemented. I hope it works, but I would not be surprised if it did not work well. The idea is to maximize the contribution/length of the ICs versus the Y cables. 

OR, are you saying the entire doubled IC cable will be 1' long? Then you would have two Y cables at about 6", and the twin ICs at 6". 

Hello,

The minimum Y is 1’ at Blue Jeans so that means 2’ of Y and in order to minimize capacitance, I ordered 1’ IC’s. So the total length of my cable is 3’.  But the split happens at the Neutrik connector so while it is physically part of the Y assembly, it is just 2 cables coming from that connector, if that makes sense.

So you are saying this is not a good configuration. If not, I can still cancel my order.

Thank you for responding.

Full public disclosure more than a year ago means no patent potential though it could be tough to create a defensible patent for parallel wires.

I am relying upon the opinion of the IP Attorney i am partnering with for the patent.  :)

Adurerca, 
I have not seen anyone in the audio industry or community warn of capacitance issues at even 1m lengths,  even with a pair of Schroeder Method sets in a system. I have used two pair of 2m Schroeder Method ICs in systems on a regular basis, both XLR and RCA.

Imo, longer ICs and shorter Y cables would be better.  But, only direct comparison would tell. If Blue Jeans won't make shorter Y cables, get 2 foot ICs from Blue Jeans, and y cables from Audio Sensibility - unless you must have L/R leads so long.
