I have 2 pairs of DPA Black Slink interconnect which I would like to try to connect between pre and power amp.Has anyone tried this?
Follow Ups:
My friend is always experimenting and recently for S and G's he took two analogue ICs paralleled them and used them as a digital wire between his transport and DAC. The result? Absolutely amazing! The sonics have never sounded better and the soundstage is wide and as deep as I've ever heard to the point of being eerie at times.There's no absolutes in audio, PERIOD! I remember once I had to place a tweeter next to a "full-range" driver not above, but directly to the outside and even with it horizontally. Everyone I told started clamoring about lobbing and other bad effects this would cause. However strangely enough it worked perfectly in my room. In fact, friends would get up and walk from one side of the room to the other and claim the sound and soundstage seemed to remain almost the same no matter where they stood. It seemed to perplex most folks, so go figure!?!?!?
I say try it and see how it sounds to you. If you like what you're hearing better than what you had before, you'll be ahead of the game.

...mid-1980s - MIT Shotgun interconnects were considered to be SOTA by TAS.
Two pair "shotgunned" together.
They gradually faded from favor...
Your listed system shows that you use a passive attenuator for a volume control.
Adding a second pair of ICs will increase the high frequency loss that you may already be suffering from by doubling the shunt capacitance.
What is the resistive value of your attenuators?
How many pF per foot are your cables and how long are they?
The HF loss can be calculated.

You'll get a resultant interconnect with half the resistance, Half the inductance and double the capacitance. Whether this will result in a sound you like is up to you.

Do you mean that you would be using four Y-connectors to hook up these interconnects? That's a lot of additional connections to mess with the signal but you may like it.
Since my front channel speakers have holes for two wires seem to handle whatever power I can manage to send over to them I have two 12 gauge wires in parallel going to them. I couldn't tell a difference in sound but left the second cable there anyway.
I have not tried - and I am not sure what could entice me to try -
What are you hoping to achieve?
I would think that the ground loop created would defeat any advantage....
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks for your reply.Aiming for a fuller sound.Ground loops can be dealt with.
Why would paralleling ICs give you a fuller sound???
Are you thinking that more copper enables the signal to flow better?
(This may be true for speaker cable, where amps of current are involved, but ICs carry milliamps (or maybe even microamps) so I can't see it doing anything?)
