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....

Celander this is my experience single Cerious Tech ic vs KC in SM method, I prefer the KC SM method , on my Teac 301 dac to my Norh monos.On vynil from TT to phono preamp going to my viva 300b integrated the starquad is better than KC on SM method music is flesh out more...
Doug Iam not sure if SM can also be apply on digital cables From transport to DAC.
I bought a Marantz sacd  sa 10 player , I felt that it’s fleshing out a lot of music more than an ic can accommodate, I have feeling the double will be a good option, I will need a balance configurations, Iam not sure if that’s posible .Right now I have the 4 ft rca double ic , I will try to connect it see what will happen . Doug any input here?
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.....
Shkhong you will never know until you try, I even tried four different kinds and length of speaker cables, 2 yrs ago it works...they are still connected because they did match my system perfectly...
Skhong the ultra is way better than GC, it’s plays complex music at ease..I don’t have gc2.
Skhong I connected blue jeans cable to my Audioquest speaker cables , the result is unbelievable...I also connected my aq argent with the aq sterling even much better....
Skhong78 have you tried Marigo apparition Digital Cable? This is a very good digital cable....
Skhong  I agree, time to enjoy, I have five system to compare and learn from them.I don’t sell why I aacumulated a lot of gear, I kept my Andra 1 from at least 15 yrs now...
Doug thank you for the clarification, I misread it, thank you for the welcome invitation as well, I know if ever I will visit you and listen to your system , I will learn a lot, 
 Celander Doug is from Wisconsin , we are from Illinois , we live close to Him, I would like to attend the shootout..,
I tried it on my jolida phono stage from my music  hall going to my art audio preamp it works, no damage was done.i also tried if from my Yamaha sacd s1000 going to my viva integrated 300b it works...Read Doug post on this thread , for safe use, or pm Him.very nice guy.
Doug I have been reading this thread, I think Iam the OP on this thread correct? Go check it?
If I memember I have used double ic from tt to phono preamp , sacd players  to preamps , preamps to amps, tubes and ss. Without any problem on my systems.
Doug before I bought my Marantz Sacd player , Iam using yamaha sacd s1000 , And Marantz 8005 sacd players still do I have 3 systems .iam very familiar how this two players perform in term of how much they dissect info out of the disc, compare to my SA10 they don’t come close in terms of how good this player dissect music.why I thought double ic is needed using xlr, that’s what I mean.Celander mentioned this double ic starquad from HAVE Inc, which I bought , it’s rca , which is excellent, but now I will need xlr double ic, Now I know it’s possible to have SM in xlr .thanks
