| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I think we’re losing some of the tree species of this vast forest, in terms of proper comparators. The SM is best analyzed using the same topology and brand of IC. The comparators are the single-run counter parts versus the SM paralleled version, ... | |
| More discrete R2R dac's, Cyan 3 different models. George, have you auditioned any of these products? Thoughts? | |
| Have transports improved for Redbook CD playback? The NuPrime CDT-8 Pro transport claims to have ultra low jitter. A NuPrime Support Manager reported by email to me that the CDT-8 Pro output circuit jitter measures at 120 psec. That’s not exactly ultra low jitter. Hell, my 20-year old CAL Delta t... | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG Check the “Doug Schroeder Method Double IC” cable thread (page 4). He was last seen to post there. You can pm him from there. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I suspect the dielectric properties of these paralleled IC assemblies might offer the surprisingly unexpected benefits extending beyond the predicted theoretical advantages owing to simply adding additional conductors in a larger twist or wrap. Wh... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? I posted the Colorado State Attorney General info in a post of this thread. I recommend someone local in the US contact them for guidance. Please share here. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic And I do understand the aversion towards using a shield for designers building an IC from scratch using a set of proprietary or specialty conductors. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic My HAVE contact told me that some folks who order standard RCA-terminated audio IC’s using the Canare StarQuad wire sometimes request to have the Shield connected to the ground conductors at one terminus. They didn’t have any explanation for it, a... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic The HAVE folks make their standard Canare StarQuad RCA-terminated audio IC’s with the braided shield spliced together with the two blue conductors. The specification I asked them to follow for the Dual Canare StarQuad assemblies includes fully-con... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic If you prefer unshielded IC’s, then this method isn’t for you. But your question has been asked and answered in this thread. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Maxima95, All of the Teo Audio “Double Double” IC’s are assemblies in which 2 IC’s are spliced together in parallel without external splitters being used. Same applies to the Dual Canare assemblies I’ve spec’ed from HAVE, Inc. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic The valid comparator is the Schroeder, parallelled version (whether by using splitters or constructing an assembly without splitters) versus the single-run counterpart. The Schroeder paralleled version trounces the single-run version every time—an... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Tuffy, I was thinking the same thing. Where is Mark’s update about the sale? Kemper threw CPT under the bus in his last post. Doesn’t Mark have the decency to defend his defunct company? Mark: come out, come out, wherever you are. Crickets.... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I agree with Doug about not mixing brands, models or lengths of IC’s in a particular paralleled assembly of his method with splitters. It’s just not right. 😂😂 | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I would follow the advice of Teo_Audio and use the cables upstream of the preamp. I have used both passive and active pre’s with the cables. No issues. |
