Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

Doug,

I now have the Schroeder Method on all 3 of my IC connections: Teo GC/ GC II ICs Modwright 5400 to TRL DUDE preamp, same combo ICs Whest .30 RDT SE phono pre to DUDE, and Schroeder Method JW Reference ICs DUDE to Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE w/ TDSS level 3 upgrades. In all 3 cases, the sound quality improved considerably in all ways with the doubling method. I used the JW on the preamp to amp ICs because I had a chance to hear my system before buying the ICs with another set of Teo’s and the JW’s. The JW’s brought more impact and initial strike to the music--more live, whereas the extra Teo was too much of a good thing in one direction. I have a chance to try this with double Amadi Maddie Signature ICs going from the preamp to the amp, also. Will report back IF this is even better sounding than using the JW’s at that same spot. What if this were even better? I LOVE the sound of my system at this point. I now have Clarity Audio Organic speaker cables and jumpers going to Vapor Audio Joule Black speakers. The analog section is a VERY upgraded Lenco 78, Pete Riggle Woody arm, and Benz Micro Ruby 3 w/ Soundsmith level 3 retip.

I am also using the SM on my connection between the TRL DUDE preamp and the Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps (class D) with no issues, but extreme listening pleasure.  I also use the SM on my MW 5400 CD and phono preamp to preamp with very noticeably improved sound in all ways.  The ICs going TO my DUDE are both Teo GC/ GC II combos.  From the DUDE to Ref 9's are JW Reference ICs.

@Doug Schroeder,

When you used the Audio Sensibility Impact SE splitters, did they have the directional arrow on the cable going from the single male RCA to the 2 female RCA’s? So that the arrow would be going the wrong direction on the splitters that are connecting to the second component? The sets I have are like this. They sound better used with Audioquest splitters with the AQ splitters being used on the second component and the AS splitters on the first.  When I used the AS splitters going between the same 2 components, the second splitter's direction was going the wrong way.

Just curious,
Bob

Thanks for the quick reply and info, Doug.
