Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

I'm wondering what you mean. Are you simply suggesting use of Y cables for XLR applications versus splitters? That has already been done, and I have reported on it.

I was thinking of dual input connections... Another thing to try would be if running single ended, to put the signal through one cable and the ground through the other, with the shields only connected at the source end.

The additional capacitance of the extra cable seems counter-intuitive, so my musing was looking for a different explanation.

I received Zenwave D4 trial cable with courtesy of Dave today.


With combination of Zenwave D4 and Crystal Cable using Y splitter, it sound so detailed, focused with natural dynamics, it is the best interconnect that I had tried in my 40 years of audio history.

Eva Cassidy sounds spooky as if she is just in front of you.

I had gone through more than 15 famous brands of cables.

Of course, with mixture of two different IC, I can not tell the contribution of each cables

But as long as it sound good , I do not care.

Next Monday, I expect to get Teo Audio GCII

I doubt Teo can be better than this combination.

I can also try combination of Teo and Crystral Cable.

But who knows, I will keep update the progress.

shkong78, I am not surprised at your conclusion that it is better than 15 brands and 40 years of trials. Congratulations on trying it! You are demonstrating that Schroeder Method works not simply because of doubling a single brand of cables, but because of the advantage of using parallel interconnects, regardless of the brand/model. It seems to be a sensible tentative conclusion, but will bear further exploration by myself and others. That is valuable information. 

Never doubt it can get better. You are not at the pinnacle of your system's capacity. There are always means to improve an audio system, regardless of the pedigree and perceived quality of sound. 

You will likely end up with several combinations, and you may like a couple of them equally well. Then you have a nice alternative whenever you wish.  :)

The SQ should improve once each IC is broken in. 

Doug I tried Teo GC and Audience au24 ic , from dac teac 301 with vol control, to my Norh le amp monos, using Elac B6 speakers, this combo did match well, the sound stage open up, the music is so effortless.....
