Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

Its been years since I last posted here but I would like to share my experiences with using double ic's.
For the past four days I have been listening to my audio system with dual ic's per both channels utilizing inexpensive RCA splitters. The two sets of ic's are constructed of Duelund tin plated copper 20awg wire with Valab-Star-Tellurium Copper Gold Plated RCA connectors from eBay (eBay seller Valab). The ic's are connected to my Gustard X-12 DAC to my Yaqin MC-13S Integrated Amp., tubed, modified with Russian PIO caps and better quality pot. 

My final impressions are very positive. Listening to files streamed via Tidal and a nude SATA external HD with a Elfidelity power filter the sound/music is all enveloping. The first thing I noticed was the music was more dynamic with more presence and clarity. I listen mainly to classical, jazz, and blues music. The stage for classical music has finally opened up and expanded. There is a more defined space around each instrument front to back. Yep, several blankets have been removed from my system and I'm verrrry happy with it. I'm glad I kept an open mind. My next step is to replace the RCA splitters with solid copper/bronze gold plated ones.

I have a toe tapping audio system with PRAT. I'd say that's quite an accomplishment.

Thank you Douglas for the kind words. I should receive some Monster splitters next Tuesday. After listening to those splitters if my RCA connectors have the space for two sets of wire I'll solder up a set of double ic's.

Well I was blown away by using cheap RCA splitters and two sets of ic’s constructed of Duelund tin plated copper 20awg wire with Valab-Star-Tellurium Copper Gold Plated RCA connectors from eBay (eBay seller Valab). I do have on order two sets of Monster solid RCA splitters to replace the cheapies but got impatient and combined the two sets of ic’s into one. HOLLY S---! What a quantum leap in performance. The first thing I noticed after installing the ic’s and booting up the system was clarity and purity of sound. It is so clean. Playing the test files I always use was like hearing different files. So much new information to my ears and all for the better. My speakers (Def Tech Mythos STS towers with powered subs) bass have always been impressive but now they really sound, for lack of a better word correct. I’m hearing my music at a whole different level now. What a wonderful improvement. No voodo nor snake oil just some extra wire.
Thank you Douglas Schroeder

I belong to another audio forum/(cables) and there is a thread started a week or so ago on the Schroeder Method with two members who have actually tryed the Method. The rest are closed minded about it. Some of them seem to think they have all the answers regarding ic's. I feel fortunate I stumbled onto this thread and actually built double ic's and discovered that it works. Keep an opened mind.
