Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic


I think this topic deserves its own thread , where use double ic through y adapters , from source to preamp, Can’t connect it from Preamp to Amp...For me the result is huge, I can’t go back to single ic....

Without trying to read through this entire thread is the SM simply building a set of ICs with the internal wiring reflecting two individual ICs with one set of connectors. For example, a twisted pair RCA IC build would simply have two twisted pairs of internal conductors terminated to an individual RCA on each end. Two conductors soldered to the center pin and two conductors soldered to the outer shell. That’s it right? This is disruptive? Seems we are just doubling up the conductors. This has been done and is currently being done. I must be missing something here? Kimber and Canare make ICs with doubled up conductors. 

The above example is for an unshielded set of ICs using the SM. I prefer the sound of unshielded ICs when possible. For shielded ICs I assume each of the two twisted pairs are individually shielded.
If you prefer unshielded IC’s, then this method isn’t for you. But your question has been asked and answered in this thread. 
Sorry to disagree but the TEO cables are not shielded ( btw we are very much in the non-shielded camp ) and they work quite wonderfully in both the splitter way to produce a double IC and the co-joined method ( our Double Double series ).  
Just wanted to acknowledge all positives about the doubled IC method. I had an original Monster (not the newer ebay ones) splitter and then bought another identical one from ebay. Scary to turn on the power, but WOW, just tremendous sound improvement, as a supercharger sound improvement!And yes, I've had some discussions with flat earther's whose mantra seems to be "if it can't be measured, it can't be heard". Well, hearing is believing. If having an open mind allows an open set of ears, then bring it on!
