I would like to add , you can’t use xlr ic as well, iam using Teo GC and Teo ultra, on my dac Gumby to preamp..On my other system, I use both Audioquest king cobra for my vynil set up, from tt to phono pre, again good result....
|
Actually , I just added this thread, there is more info on the thread New Teo Audio ic, who has them? |
Tara’s 22 thank you for the update .....
|
Doug I have been thinking of puttting this thread, 2weeks ago, and Iam glad You and Tara’s chime in for more clarifications and information..I believe only few are aware about the double ic... |
Just today I added one more double ic on my vynil set up on my main system, this is my third set , the improvement is so consistent , music comes out effortlessly Live like....
|
Doug I tried Blue Jeans LC 1 on my TT music Hall 5 series $500 new 10 yrs plus old, to my Art audio preamp, my friend was so impress , the result is so good, more dynamics, Live Like too... |
Agree +1 Doug , audio improvement almost limitless, with good research , and knowledge , you can do it cheaper... |
Celander Iam fan of Canare as well, my guest the Dual Star Quad would sound good....Eliminating adapters cut cost, and eliminate any more xtra added sound ... price is reasonable.... |
Anyone tried the dual star quad assemblies aside from Celander? |
Doug I ordered Dual star Quad at HAVE inc, since I have old Norh Monos probably they are $200 now, I will use the starquad from Teac 301 to the Norh monos, speakers pioneer Sb 21 monitor speakers..See what happen? |
Celander thank you, Gary will ship my ic next week via fedex.... |
Doug thank you..for the info..,. |
Doug I will received my double quad recommended by Celander this week, made by Have inc. wire is canare...and I will post my impression here... |
|
Doug my double starquad came, out of the box , it sounds amazing, yup it works,I connected it from my Teac dac with vol control , directly to my Norh mono amps...CELANDDER thank you, this cable is very very good...
|
Doug the starquad or double ic canare without adapters, is very fast and with explosiveness quality, at times in my systems the adapters affects the speed of my system a bit, but without adapters my system speed is really fast...The sound it resembles the double ic with speed, huge soundstage, more depth, layering is superb, it has more effortless tight bass, this cable is so transparently balance with a fresh tone in it, micro and macro is very good, smooth just right...this just after 10hrs...Vocal is so palpable , Lyn Stanley’s voice is so right and natural on this cable....it’s mind boggling how good Double ic and this cable, I would prefer to audition Teo double ic if I can afford it but I can’t, this starquad is more than enough for me to enjoy the Doug method..... |
Celander I almost cancel my order, it took 2 weeks, because Gary told me ,many called in because of flu, wow Iam so glad I did not...it’s worth the wait, ordering one more set..... |
By the way I have no affiliation with this company, I found out about this company thru Celander...thanks again |
I did not ask for xlr, I only need rca, but He is willing to do it whatever request I want... |
Maxima95 , call Gary P I think he will do xlr for you if you decide....very nice guy
|
Doug without adapters the method is way way much better.. night and day in my system...
|
Doug ,the one with splitters blue jeans LC 1double ic did very well on my tt to my preamp, the combo Teo Ultra and GC from my Gumby to preamp is good but I prefer the ultra alone, splitters did slow the system a bit, The ultra alone sounds like double ic to me, is excellent cables with very low noise floor...Anyone who would like to try Doug method at your own risk, I will recommend the conjoined ic, less hassle , it’s way much better in my system....music is being flesh out amazingly good, I can’t imagine a conjoin Teo Jr, how good it will be.... |
Update on my starquad double ic canare, it improves more, after four days it’s fleshing out more music..maybe today I will put it on my other system to see if it will match my other system, this cable for the price I paid 4ft $175 shipped is a give away, I don’t believe HAVe inc, has 30 days free audition.... |
Taras22 thank you for the Teo junior conjoin info... |
I did connect it to my vpi tt to jolida 9 Mark 2, it’s way much better than my King cobra aq double ic with y adapters, So I confirm the conjoin is the way to go... speed and articulation is as good while I have it on dac to amp..
|
Taras22 I suspect the adapters are the one messing up the Teo ultra and GC performance, iam happy how good is the ultra alone.
|
Celander , my friend told me you can only use 75 ohm on rca not 110ohm, is there a risk using 110 ohm rca? |
Celander my impression to your response , no risk right, if I will try the rca like you have now, it’s my responsibility to take the risk, like Doug said try it at your own risk.....thank you
|
Thanks a lot Celander very good info.... |
Tuffy , Iam a Teo Cables fan , I do like their cables a lot, My system consist of Andra Eggleston , monoblock musical fidelity, art audio preamp, schiit Gumby Dac , marantz ah toeb transport, when I tried the GC and ultra combo, it took a while before I realise it was too slow, the speed and articulation wasn’t there. Until Davidten visited , He made a comment that my system is more alive when I switch to vynil, that confirmed my suspicion regarding speed, the moment I put the ultra alone. Music came alive Speed is back. Double IC doesn’t always work.i myself Wish the ultra And GC work.... |
Doug double Ic is good but those combo ultra and GC I did not find the synergy , in my main system. The Doug method works on my two vynil set up, and to my Teac dac direct to my Norh mono amps....
|
Doug maybe what I mean , when I say Double ic does not always work , I was thinking more of synergy, sorry for the confusion... |
Doug I hope you can convince the audio industry to implement your method, Teo and Have inc does, My starquad canare double ic is excellent, I will try to connect it to my system to see if I will synergies there...
|
Doug as good as the Doug Schroeder method, synergy is required to obtain the musicality and articulation Iam looking for my main system.why at times here at Agon many will share cables are system dependent...One day I would love to try conjoin Teo Jr .Teo Cables are excellent but in my main system with adapters the synergy wasn’t there...
|
Doug I did put Doug Schroeder Method on its own , so many will see it quickly , originally it’s embedded on the Teo thread, so those who are not interested on the Teo thread will not see it. My intension so many will have the chance to read it Because Iwas already benefited from the Audioquest King Combra combo double ic , before I tried the Teo Combo....
|
|
Wow Pixel, glad you are enjoying it, with an open mind.Doug one more happy audiophile😀 |
Doug onother success from my Yamaha sacd 1000 to my viva integrated, I use Cerious tech graphene ic and Teo GC ic, this combo is musical, fast, transient is there too, I use Audioquest adapters, one has tails, one doesn’t .this is my fourth success , on double ic...
|
Mr m I met Doug 2yrs ago very very nice guy, I do really thank Him telling us about his method, I was benefited on four sets now.With the right matching it’s hard to go back to single ic...Celander your assessment of the starquad double canare ic , it reflects mine, I love this cable a lot, it’s fantastic ic , I do own Teo ultra too..,
|
Ozzy Iam using double ic from tt to preamp , very very good result...Iam also using double ic from teac dac with volume control to Norh monoblock , no issue....iam also using double ic from Yamaha 1000 to viva integrated... all good |
Stringreen if you can afford Teo cables , they have conjoin ic , I bet those sound really good..if they match your system.... |
Stringreen I own Teo ultra and Teo GC , I used blue jeans LC1 double ic on my tt to preamp with an outstanding result, you never know until you try.ThAt said I own high fidelity cables, Nordost Heimdall Cables, Marigo, Audioquest Diamond, Sterling, But Iam open to try different cables..Iam a big fan of blue jeans cable as well.., |
|
Grannyring I can’t wait to hear your homemade SM, it should be good, if you think it’s good, let us know how much you are selling them... |
This Doug Method on My Sony 555es dvd,sacd, To Teac DAC 301 , to Norh Monoblock, using Aq king cobra After 2 weeks , the Holographic sound is much improve using aq adapters, Speakers Diapason Adamantes monitors..,The King cobra double ic is better than my Starquad from Have Inc in my system, in terms of bass , and tonal balance, and impact.,,
|
I hope Audioquest, Kimber, Caridas, and other Cables companies will utilize Doug Method, It WORKs , with proper matching and caution.... |
Doug you are absolutely right. |
Celander the KC I heard it’s the equal of the old model phyton aq $500 , truly good ic...The 4ft starquad $175 it has his musical chAracter as well..can’t go wrong with the starquad... |
Celander, I agree with you, . |
Celander the starquad is also excellent especially on turn table to phono preamp, on the same set up the starquad it has more dynamic , fast , vocal is with fresh tone. ... |
