Have you ever changed speakers to expereince a different "soundscape" or presentation??
When I reviewed the Pathos Classic One (I actually worked with all three versions of it), Gianni Borinato when asked about which tube he thought would make the Classic One sound the most beautiful said, "Tubes are like women, they are all beautifu...

in_shore, please discuss the Schroeder Method with equipment manufacturers prior to trying. Responses may range from horror to curiosity, from an abject rejection of it as though it could harm the gear, to confidence that the gear will be unaffect... 
3 best 10k speakers now imho
I thoroughly enjoyed the PureAudioProject Trio15 Horn 1 when I reviewed it for Dagogo.com, and it is under $10K. Its configurability makes it a compelling option. I have pics of it in my virtual system.  
Are there really a bad misfits in the hifijungle out there
One man's bad combination is another man's glory. I've given up trying to understand how some people justify what is plainly to me abysmal sound.  :)  
Are subs worth the price for music?
There are very, very few speakers under $100K that would not benefit significantly from subs. So, if your 3's are under $100K, then you could use subs.  :)

I knew we could count on Al for a thorough workup of the technical aspects.  Thank you!

For those new to the thread/discussion of the Schroeder Method I will add to celander's informative post that consideration must be given to the halving of the impedance of the cables. Previously discussion in my original article as well as in thr...

mmcentyre, thanks for the feedback! I had not heard of the Schroeder Being tried with Duelund ICs adds to the body of knowledge of successful implementation. I have not heard yet of any instance where the result was not deemed a success by the per...

I think I had a memory failure; I seem to recall that I requested the XLR splitters be built by Audioquest rather than select them from the website. Sorry for the misdirection. They are Audioquest and I worked with them to select the particular pr...

Highstream, I have some Audioquest XLR splitters (conventional, as sold on their website, not "reverse" splitters). I had to go to a guitar/music center to find the appropriate reverse 2 to 1 XLR splitters. They can also be found on Amazon, but ar...

Has anyone else taken upon themselves the do at your own risk adventure of the Schroeder Method interconnects? I know of at least one person who was using it since my article first appeared and is pleased.  
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money

Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
Looking for 90%...Aren't we all.Some work harder for it than others. I assure you it's a chimera to think you will stumble into it.Give it sevaral years with diligent work and expense and you will get closer..  :)

Ozzy, please pay heed to the recommendations in my article and notes. While it may work, I do not recommend mixing the cables. I'm not saying it won't  work, but i am not publically endorsing it. I would think that might be a concern best avoided.

A couple thoughts interjected... No one as of yet knows why the Schroeder Method works, least of all me! I claim no pedigree, only curiosity leading to the discovery and implementation. Speculation would be expected until such time as a cable manu...
