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....

Thanks Doug,

I was actually referring to a 20in BNC cable for a 10m clock, will report on that when I obtain the necessary y-adapters
On a whim I combined A23 ICs with Artisansilvercables pure silver cables via fixed y- adaptors between a Zodiac Platinum DAC and a Wavac EC300b amp. The result was a significant increase in spatial resolution with slightly increased treble. The A23 cables have great resolution with slight treble reticence. The pure silver cables have beautiful colour, especially on strings but with a slight sibilants and strident treble. The combo seems a happy marriage of the virtues while loosing the foibles. I fully endorse the method and will next try it on the Zodiac‘s 10m BNC clock cable
Short answer: it works. I managed replacing a very expensive Shunyata Sigma clock cable with two middling BNC cables without ANY loss in SQ. (hint: doubling up on the Shunyata for me was a bridge too far...) So pretty good vindication of the method, I guess. The cables were 30in long
