Keith,
I am one of the dudes Doug mentioned in his post on the Schroeder method of the double Teo's for ICs--he ran into a friend of mine and myself at last years Axpona. We were outside the Teo room and Taras of Teo Audio came out and joined our conversation. Doug told us of the results of the double ICs used with Audioquest splitters along with warning us of using them to connect to an amp or integrated amp. My friend Scott had an extra set of Teo GC ICs and he decided to try this in his system. His results paralleled Doug's. He brought his extra set of GC's to my house about a month later. The single Teo ICs made a very noticeable difference in sound to my all silver wired system when we demoed it a few months ago. The double Teo GCs made an even bigger difference in sound improvement in all ways to a very transparent, detailed, and dynamic system that I had loved prior. By the way, I used to have 2 different sets of Morrow ICs--the MA-3 and MA-4's prior to using Darwin or Amadi silver cables. The silver cables were the first ICs to make a significant difference in sound to lower cost copper cables.
Personally, for me, I don't really care if you try this double IC or not. I will most likely never know most of the posters in the forum because of location. Those who don't try this are just plain missing out on WAY more excellent and realistic sound. If you get your Teo cables used, you can do this at mid priced cost for sure. Taras says that GC II Jr., their current lowest cost cables, doubled up will sound better than many of their costlier cables in single form. My opinion of Morrow is it is very tough to tell any sound improvement as you go up the line--impressive marketing however.
My system is VMPS RM40 BCSE MLS speakers, TRL DUDE preamp, Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps with TDSS level 3 upgrades, fully upgraded Modwright 5400 Signature Truth, Lenco TT with most of Jean Nantais' mods or upgrades, Pete Riggle Woody arm, Benz Micro Ruby 3, and Whest 3.0 RDT SE phono pre. All have been modded with SR Blue fuses, some with Audio Magic Pulse Gen ZX's, upgraded tubes, and Star Sound's trans mod with Audio Points. The differences in already very good components was obvious to anyone who was there to hear. We loved it. Did I want to spend the money to buy the extra cables? NO! Can I tell you technically anything of importance? NO! I was a PE teacher and coach for 38 years--BUT...I can definitely hear. I bought my buddies extra pair on the spot at used prices. He keeps wanting to have me move up the Teo line and double those. Tried it, the rule of less improvement as you pay more kicked in.
