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....

twoleftears, I see you have the Belles ARIA components; very nice! I wrote them up for Dagogo.com recently. They are a wonderfully sensible and good performing series.

They sound even better with Schroeder method between the ARIA pre and the ARIA Monos. Also, do not fail to give them a good power cord. They have a lot more to give in sound quality when set up properly. Dave Belles was the first manufacturer to give me permission to hook up preamp and amp(s) in Schroeder Method, and I will always be thankful to him for that. The result was splendid, and showed that Pre to Amp is a highly efficacious connection for Schroeder Method ICs. That setup was proof of method for pre to amp.

I guess the jury's still out on the double run from preamp (or anything) to a Class D amp.

Maxima95, this thread addressed the concern about connecting SM assemblies to a class D amp. See above taras22 post regarding Red Dragon amps. No issues.

Speaker cables configured in a double run, aka shotgun cables, have been around for decades. Nobody thought it would work for IC’s.

taras22's post re: Red Dragon amps was on 2-3-19 at 1:48 PM

"For what its worth have used our cables with Red Dragon amps and had no trouble. "

Subsequently, you asked:
2-3-19     9:07 PM
"Taras22, have you or Ken tried any of your double double IC assemblies with a class D amp?"

douglas_schroder then responded:

"Yes, the Red Dragon is class D; I reviewed it for Dagogo.com and it sounds like they tried the Double Double with it." 

taras22 did not respond to your question above; doug schroder did, saying that it ' sounds like ' they tried the double double.

I did not read this as taras22 saying that he tried the double double with the Red Dragon without issue.
