| Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions? Thanks for the comments, aberyclarck and tobes, good info. Any amp can be made to sound relatively more or less sterile; so much depends upon the rest of the system. As well, one man’s sterile is another’s "accurate", etc. However, the amp is quit... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions? Thanks, yyzsantabarbara, for the recommendation of the review. Persons who ignore my advice regarding cables will have diminished sound quality, especially if they ignore aftermarket power cords and USB cable. It is critical to explore the three g... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic stringreen, you have a beautiful system, kudos. It is a do at your own risk activity, as I'm sure you are aware. I have had no complications in about ten systems I have set up so far with both RCA and XLR. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic stringreen, Steve mentioned your order in an email today. You will be one of the first to get an Audio Sensibility cable with Schroeder Method construction. I will look forward to your impressions. Mind if I ask what components in your system you ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic A person can put together a Schroeder Method set of ICs on the cheap, and they should expect lovely results. However, as with all wiring, better cables will provide superior results. All of the testing I have done so far confirms this. So, if chea... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Yes, that is correct. You will find that precious few XLR makers have the second version, the double female to single male. I found one online that was cheap, but sounds poor, and another that was marginally better for pro sound applications. Nei... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic celander, yes, there are differences in spacing between L/R outputs on preamps and amps, but I have yet to use one that cannot accommodate the Audioquest RCA Splitters. The splitters are no wider than the standard RCA cable. If a person has challe... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic aolmrd1241, yes it is a most interesting thread, especially when the result is heard! The Schroeder Method became VERY interesting when it worked superbly well the first time I tried it! It continues to gather momentum among those who are trying i... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Once the potential of Schroeder Method is learned, the initial proper comparison between an identical single versus a double IC becomes expected. The real excitement is comparison beyond, to find the relative strength of the Method in building sys... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic jayctoy, you may be the first person to substantiate an improvement with the splitters in use over a manufactured double IC. That is not surprising to me at all. The quality/characteristics of the cabling is fundamental to the outcome. I would exp... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I believe the Schroeder Method has the potential to be disruptive in several respects, including the scenario stringreen has suggested. That scenario I would not think a suitable template to suggest that any cheap cables in Schroeder Method could ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Correction to my post above, which I noticed absentmindedly referred to "integrated preamps". The quote is, "At the same time, David Belles, who I discussed this with in depth while in the Belles Audio ARIA Preamp and Mono Amp review, was quite co... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic BTW, David Belles I think would have been Ok with introducing the Schroeder Method discussion into the review of the ARIA components. It was in a word glorious. But, I chose not to detract from the focus on this components. You can bet I'm using S... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic I have not advocated mixing brands/models of cables, though I'm sure it would be fascinating to try. I would think the results might be unpredictable, good or bad. All iterations of the Schroeder Method I have done with two identical cables have b... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic mr_m, I don't take your comment with offense. No, it does not look like rocket science, but it sure sounds like it was developed with rocket science! :) |
