Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

To a close approximation doing that will double the cable capacitance that is seen by the component that is driving the cable, and it will cut the resistance and inductance in half. For a line-level interconnect conducting analog signals the most significant of those changes is almost certain to be the doubled capacitance. The resulting sonic difference, if any, will depend on the output impedance of the component driving the cable (especially its impedance at high frequencies), the length of the cable, and the characteristics of the particular cable type. And if there is a difference, it may or may not be for the better, depending on those variables, the sonics of the system as a whole, and listener preference.

what ic did you double through the y adapters?

P.S. to my previous post: There's one more possible effect I can think of that doing this may have in some systems. If the two components that are being connected are susceptible to ground loop issues (which might take the form of high frequency noise and/or a reduction of "background blackness," as well as or instead of low frequency hum), the lowered resistance of the ground connection between the components might reduce the severity of that issue to some degree.

I would like to add , you can’t use xlr ic as well, iam using Teo GC and Teo ultra, on my dac Gumby to preamp..On my other system, I use both Audioquest king cobra for my vynil set up, from tt to phono pre, again good result....

Have to concur, the results are quite spectacular with the use of two cable sets connected with splitters, and even more so when we terminated two cable assemblies into one plug to produce the Double Double.

The sound stage in this configuration is huge, dynamic slam increases, and while theory would predict a diminished high end response due to high capacitance the highs are actually more extended, detailed, and with no attendant harshness or listeners fatigue.

We have been playing this configuration for several weeks now and have had none of the issues that the theory quoted above seems to predict. That being said we still are being cautious because of those theoretical concerns, but so far the theory is having some serious trouble reconciling itself with the reality on the ground.
