Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

You can lead a horse to water...but don’t expect that horse to drink while you’re around.

I got hooked from reading this thread. Grannyring supplied me a beautiful pair of RCAs which I received yesterday. I'll be back in a few days.

I’ll be posting a sales ad for a set of 4 solid Y-splitters on the market site today if folks want to try the SM on the cheap. Consider this a PSA of a future event.

Refresher: the Schroeder Method (“SM”) of interconnect cabling a system refers to taking 2 similar or dissimilar brands of interconnects and connecting them in parallel. Y-splitters can be used for native interconnects. One can also use manufactured assemblies in which the separate interconnects (typically of the same brand and type of core cabling) are configured in parallel and terminated with the desired connectors (RCA, BNC, XLR or AES/EBU).

The main cable forum thread here is the following:
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/doug-schroeder-method-double-ic

In that forum thread are 2 further links to Teo_Audio threads that describe possible mode of action behind the method. Those are essential reading as to the underlying principles that really aren’t addressed in the above thread. Commentary at the end of Schroeder’s Audio Blast article cited above also provides insight.
