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....

I had received 6$ Y splitter from Amazon one hour ago.

I am trying with Crystal Cable and Silnote Morpheus RCA cables.

The soundstage seems to get wider.

But I need two or more days to give any definite opinion.
After few hour’s of listening, I found this method to have potential improvement over single IC cable.

I am using 6$ splitter for RCA IC cables.

Can anybody recommend better quality splitter under 150$?

thanks in advance

With connecting two different cables using Y splitter, it is easier to compare the cables with each other by taking one of cables out.

My Crystal cable give refined sound but less weight.

By combining Crystal cable and Silnote morphius cable, I can get balanced sound with refined detail and enough weight.

I will get Zenwave D4 IC cable tomorrow and expect to get Teo Audio GCII next Monday.

I look forward to having lot of fun with IC cables for three weeks.


So how do you discern which cable is responsible for the perceived SQ in the Schroeder Method? It seems as though you are changing two variables at once. In one case, you have only one cable total in the splitter configuration. In the other case, you have two different cables in a parallel configuration.

It seems that the Schroeder Method might exaggerate or reveal the SQ differences between IC’s when two different sets of IC’s are used, such as 2 Teo Audio IC’s in a first SM assembly compared to 2 Audioquest IC’s in a second SM assembly. But I’m less certain that a SM assembly having a mixed set of IC’s would be terribly revealing as to which IC was responsible for the effect in SQ. 

Am I missing something?
