Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

@maxima95 

Too busy filling orders right now, but can easily do it.  It is a very simple build really.  I can do XLR or RCA.   I could use 16 or 20 gauge.  I just built a usb cable using this idea.  Interesting and more difficult to do right.  

ozzy, I am working with Audio Sensibility to explore Schroeder Method in different permutations, to get a handle on comparative cables, i.e. single vs. Schroeder Method doubled manufactured. 

Steve at Audio Sensibility can make up the doubled XLR ICs, even though not on the website. Steve has been testing the Schroeder Method and has been impressed enough to make up cables for me to continue to review and assess. I very much appreciate his involvement, but I am not surprised at all that he is motivated, given the results that happen when doubling interconnects.

Good for you.  Whenever you get around to it, it would be nice to know your observations.

I got a double Schroeder balanced interconnect and have been using it for a couple of days now.   What I find really interesting is how it changes as its breaking in.  The first place I put it was between the CD player and the dedicated headphone amp.  I couldn't believe the dynamic contrasts of the music I was hearing.  ...not as to how loud it got, but rather it seemed to allow the after beat from the drummer to really stand out rather than sound "lazy" in comparison.  I have a Purist Audio break in disc and played it through....you can't listen to it...its only noise.  Anyway I got brave and connected the power amp and speakers.  That dynamic that I liked seemed to lesson somewhat, but the speakers absolutely disappeared.  The walls in the front of the room vanished.  The instruments appeared not only with depth that I had with the older cables,  but each instruments was suspended in its own space closer, and farther away.  In a Niel Diamond record, a scratch guarro, sounded like someone was playing it not in the house, but way out to the right on the patio of the pool.  The instruments and singer are now smaller and set in their own space.  The cable just became better and better....the definition increased, so that listening to lyrics is now much easier.  I could understand much of Elton John, but with this new cable I can relax and just let the understanding of what he's saying come through.  As far as tonality is concerned Schroeder's cable sounds very, very similar to my expensive silver interconnects....but its as though a pretty girl has had a pro makeup person bring out the very best for a Robb Report centerfold.  I'll get more cable for the long run from preamp to amp....I'll suppose there will be more to say.   Thanks Doug

So let’s see. We have Teo Audio, HAVE, Audio Sensibility, and perhaps some custom DYI’ers like grannyring who are willing to make paralleled SM IC assemblies without requiring external splitters. The SM movement is gaining some traction.
