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....

Atmosphere....kindly post your findings.....I have a balanced system, am using Doug's system with no Y connectors made by AudioSensibilies, and have experienced a great improvement from regular XLR's

I will. BTW I'm pretty sure the Aesthetix preamps don't support AES48, so your experience makes sense.

I wait for Ralph's results, as well.

I just finished building a pair of Doug S. double balanced ICs using Connex/DH-Labs BL-Ag solid silver bulk cable, and compared that to a single run of the same cable.  It's not a fair comparison, as I also replaced standard Neutrik connectors with premium Bocchino XLRs with solderless terminations.  After a few hours break-in the improvement is spectacular-- detailed, smooth on top, organic mids and LF, and a deep wide soundstage.  The application is a 2M balanced run between an Esoteric K-01X and an Atmasphere MP-1 preamp.  I'll be curious for Ralph's findings as well.
