I certainly would Not recommend using both RCA and XLR simultaneously!  
Pure Audio Project Loudspeaker with Voxativ driver option
To get a little of the effect of bigger speaker, put your 10 on about 1 foot stands or platforms. You'll see what it does to soundstage.  Bass with 15" versus 10" is, imo, a completely different event.  I would not be able to easily move down to 1... 
Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?
Waste of time to debate it with someone of dubious experience.  :)

Wonderful results with AES/EBU to Exogal Comet DAC. Further testing will see if other DACS sound as.good with coax or AES.

jayctoy, yes, the effect is cumulative with successive additions. Agreed; the sense of the music being more lifelike, whether a studio or live recording, is powerful. The characteristics of a particular interconnect's properties is intensified and...

One last point which I do not believe has been emphasized enough is that the longer the interconnects, the lower the characteristic impedance of the cable. Doubling a cable halves the impedance, and I have been avoiding longer cables (i.e. I have ...

I will share hear what I just posted in the comments section of my article which is linked above. I wish to add to the body of knowledge about the Schroeder Method, as well as clarify some misinformation that is forming around it. I have found als... 
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?
Testing is ongoing... have yet to hear a detrimental result with the Schroeder Method. I have done perhaps six systems and all have been uniformly impressive in terms of degree of change and quality of change.  
New Source; what is the best match
This is not surprising. Any particular collection of gear may not impress initially. This is nothing to worry about; it just means you need to make some adjustments and that may yield your preferred result. Putting a new source into a rig is essen... 
How Long Should One Wait Before Switching When A/B ing
Ah, one of the classic divergences of opinion. Good thing it's the only one in audio! ;)

Very nice things happening. Several additional iterations all confirm the efficacy of the Schroeder Method. Gear performing at an unprecedented level.   
Vandersteen 5a vs Genesis 5.3 ?
Don't be fooled; they are the same speaker. They used a different cabinet, drivers and color to fool people.

Just to be sure, t_ramey, when you begin cooking up your own designs you are doubly into the "do at your own risk" arena. I doubt TEO wants to be responsible for home made cables and outcomes. I can see perfectly why they would not wish to divulge...

Yeah, like the Heimlich Maneuver, only not quite as important, especially if someone is choking.  
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?
Yes, the Schroeder Method works. I was shocked the first time I tried it how much information was revealed to have been blocked/lost by using a single interconnect. There will be those who because of theory disdain, or even outright ridicule the M...
