Doug ,the one with splitters blue jeans LC 1double ic did very well on my tt to my preamp, the combo Teo Ultra and GC from my Gumby to preamp is good but I prefer the ultra alone, splitters did slow the system a bit, The ultra alone sounds like double ic to me, is excellent cables with very low noise floor...Anyone who would like to try Doug method at your own risk, I will recommend the conjoined ic, less hassle , it’s way much better in my system....music is being flesh out amazingly good, I can’t imagine a conjoin Teo Jr, how good it will be....
