piouser, nice to have you on board on the thread, and nice to hear from someone who was motivated to try Schroeder Method. Looking forward to the discussion. :)
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....

Refresher: the Schroeder Method (“SM”) of interconnect cabling a system refers to taking 2 similar or dissimilar brands of interconnects and connecting them in parallel. Y-splitters can be used for native interconnects. One can also use manufactured assemblies in which the separate interconnects (typically of the same brand and type of core cabling) are configured in parallel and terminated with the desired connectors (RCA, BNC, XLR or AES/EBU). Douglas Schroeder posted the original article here: https://www.dagogo.com/audio-blast-schroeder-method-interconnect-placement/ The main cable forum thread here is the following: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/doug-schroeder-method-double-ic In that forum thread are 2 further links to Teo_Audio threads that describe possible mode of action behind the method. Those are essential reading as to the underlying principles that really aren’t addressed in the above thread. Commentary at the end of Schroeder’s Audio Blast article cited above also provides insight. |
Has anyone who has tried this first with splitters reterminated the parallel runs so there is only one set of RCAs and no need for splitters? What I mean is that you'll still have double the amount of interconnect cable, but the "normal" amount of RCA connectors. The splitters and all the extra RCAs can't be doing any good. |
