Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

Back to your previous post, Doug, and not to nitpick, but expense and quality don't necessarily go hand in hand. I imagine many if us spent plenty of money on wires....and gear...with sometimes disappointing results.

Gabriel Gold and Twisted Pair Designs aren't overly expensive, but of considerable quality in design, construction, components and, most importantly, sonics. I've listened closely to many, many cables and can say that with some degree of confidence. Taking it personally would be too silly for words (ha!) - these are those rare cables that are worth the more than the price of admission for me and worth a listen anyway.

That said, I've listened to them in other's systems with variable results - and so it goes!

As they say YMMV. 
Just heard from a guy with Chord gear who tried Schroeder Method and is VERY happy.

Doug,

I now have the Schroeder Method on all 3 of my IC connections: Teo GC/ GC II ICs Modwright 5400 to TRL DUDE preamp, same combo ICs Whest .30 RDT SE phono pre to DUDE, and Schroeder Method JW Reference ICs DUDE to Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE w/ TDSS level 3 upgrades. In all 3 cases, the sound quality improved considerably in all ways with the doubling method. I used the JW on the preamp to amp ICs because I had a chance to hear my system before buying the ICs with another set of Teo’s and the JW’s. The JW’s brought more impact and initial strike to the music--more live, whereas the extra Teo was too much of a good thing in one direction. I have a chance to try this with double Amadi Maddie Signature ICs going from the preamp to the amp, also. Will report back IF this is even better sounding than using the JW’s at that same spot. What if this were even better? I LOVE the sound of my system at this point. I now have Clarity Audio Organic speaker cables and jumpers going to Vapor Audio Joule Black speakers. The analog section is a VERY upgraded Lenco 78, Pete Riggle Woody arm, and Benz Micro Ruby 3 w/ Soundsmith level 3 retip.

Just got a pair of the DSM Acoustic BBQ RCA 16g. What a great cable regardless of price! So natural, dynamic and sweet sounding. I might get cavities listening to them! Bettered the High Fidelity Cables and HiDiamond cables I had.

Very nice to see such success with Schroeder Method. When it takes out high priced ICs maybe some others will sit up and take notice. Doesn't surprise me as I've said the performance is a radical improvement.  :)
