The Science of Cables
Elizabeth, I invite you to try it; then we may not be able to get you to shut up about it. :) If you have a better cable method or technology that pertains to the question of this thread, "The Science of Cables," feel free to promote/discuss it at...

I will be interested when jhills reports back on his discovery in trying Schroeder Method ICs. When I spoke with him he indicated that he had the interconnects and would only need connectors. Some are not impressed by the use of connectors such as... 
Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place?
Very polarizing topic.  
The Science of Cables
rocknss, it's been quite a while since I did that review, and not all the trials made it into the article. I do not recall switching the power cords on the amps. I do recall conducting more than one comparison between power cords on the amps. Thes... 
Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic
It has been some time since we had an update. Has anyone new tried Schroeder Method. I'm especially curious if skeptics have tried it and been won over by it.  
The Science of Cables
Prof, testing for power cord was with system identical throughout, using two identical stereo amps, and different power cords on amps. Only variable is power cord on amp. blupson, I like that! Good joke! What was the phrase years ago, "Four door, ...

Now to go listen to this new preamp under review; it's INCREDIBLE! It blows the doors off all the others! The sound is AMAZING. It is 50% BETTER than anything out there... But not as good as Schroeder Method.  LOL  ;)

BTW, I did NOT invite NASA to my testing.  ;)

prof, yes, I was able to discern power cables as well. I will not pretend I have super hearing. The cables were not easy at all to discern at matched level. They seemed much closer in sound characteristics when ABX and matched level than when in n... 
The Science of Cables
Prof, yes; I voluntarily reviewed AVA's ABX Comparator (review is found at dagogo.com) with the express intent of 1. Seeing what an unusual device it is and how I would appreciate it, and 2. ABXing my ability to discern various products. I was awa...

glupson, just a mild point to interject. I'm not interested in jousting with you verbally. I find that is not productive for us, nor the community. There is a range, a spectrum of performance, you might agree. A panoply of words can be used to des... 
The Science of Cables
glupson, thank you for your reasonable discussion. I have tried most of the attempts that you have, and imo the Schroeder Method is more profound in effect than any of them. You have chosen a zero sum position, and I can respect that, as you seem ... 
The Science of Cables
Prof, thank you for your response. I used a thorough, but simple comparison, so your first conclusion was correct when you said:"IF you mean to level charges of hypocrisy and inconsistency in the audiophile world, you will certainly find large tar...

Ok, let's give some credit where credit is due; Jim has said here he will try Schroeder Method, and I think that is an impressive gesture of willingness to humble one's self. As a former cable skeptic I know the difficulty in humbling one's self t...

Jim, I'm glad I took the time to chat further and earn your trust enough for you to try it. I look forward to your input. :)I am going to contact you via PM system.
