Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

Connecting the shield to the source or sending end is to reduce noise. Any noise picked up by the shield won’t be carried over to the next component. 

And I do understand the aversion towards using a shield for designers building an IC from scratch using a set of proprietary or specialty conductors.

I ordered some cable to try it out.....we'll see

I suspect the dielectric properties of these paralleled IC assemblies might offer the surprisingly unexpected benefits extending beyond the predicted theoretical advantages owing to simply adding additional conductors in a larger twist or wrap. Whether it’s the additional jackets or air in the assemblies, or something else, it’s clear the paralleled assemblies are offering something unique in terms of SQ improvement.

This Doug Method on My Sony 555es dvd,sacd, To Teac DAC 301 , to Norh Monoblock, using Aq king cobra   After 2 weeks , the Holographic sound is much improve using aq adapters, Speakers Diapason Adamantes monitors..,The King cobra double ic is better than my Starquad from Have Inc in my system, in terms of bass , and tonal balance, and impact.,,
