The Science of Cables
Elizabeth, while celander provided the answer, I thought I would respond as well. While a particular IC may may have multiple conductors, Schroeder Method specifically pairs full cables, which means paired ground wires as well. celander likes the ...

I will summarize the results seen so far; the Schroeder Method has been used now in dozens of systems and has resulted in 2 instances, both with headphone setups, where the outcome was considered  marginal, but users still chose to use it over sin...

Would any of our skeptics like to try the Schroeder Method of Interconnect Placement?

I tried the Schroeder Method once with XLR cables acting as AES/EBU between a Musical Fidelity transport and a DAC. It was very good. It certainly did not seem to exhibit any issues due to doubling the IC. The sound quality was holistically superi...

I am happy to report that the review of the ANTICABLES Reference series products is now published at dagogo.comSee also the manufacturer's comments at the end of the article. Pertinent here is the fact that Paul Speltz is now offering ANTICABLES I...

Put up a system using  two sets of Schroeder Method ICs with double speaker cables. I LIKE! :)  This could become addictive.  ;)  
What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ?
"law of diminishing returns" = wallet painJust wanted to clarify how I interpret "diminishing returns". Ergo, discussing generally a nebulous supposed universal phenomenon called "diminishing returns" with a subset of the population having a wide ...

twoleftears, I see you have the Belles ARIA components; very nice! I wrote them up for Dagogo.com recently. They are a wonderfully sensible and good performing series. They sound even better with Schroeder method between the ARIA pre and the ARIA ...

rechsm, so you have made a quad version of Schroeder Method IC? Four discrete runs in one plug? Wow! This demonstrates imo unequivocally the importance of the method, and of AWG in the quality. Very nice summary; thanks for sharing this! I am elat... 
Electrostatic pros and cons.
Being an owner of ESL speakers for several years, and having used and reviewed others and these in many systems, I disagree with several of the generalities associated with ESL speakers. I do not find ESL inherently superior in terms of cleanness,... 
Do you listen to equipment or music.
Happiness comes when you don't give a rip what others think about how you listen.  :)

Thomas, I am very happy that you like Schroeder Method; it's quite powerful. You are showing others that a person has to try different things in order to find the best result. That is how I go about tuning systems. When the right combination is fo... 
Why the facination with integrated amps?
Typical misconception based on lack of experience by OP.

shkong78, you are encountering the questions that happen when you upgrade and mix cables; some of the results may sound superior with a part of your collection, and some results may sound relatively inferior. I say "relatively�" because the result...

shkong78, it's obvious you are taking this very seriously, and you will get very serious results, the kind of results that do not come to casual audiophiles. dgarretson, No surprise that the connectors make a big difference. It also makes perfect ...
