Need a quality Y-adapter for bi-amping


Where I can I find a quality Y-adpater to use for bi-amping? My pre-amp only has one set of outputs. Looking for something alot better than some inexpensive Monster cable thing.

Is it better to get a Y-adpater that I would fit my existing interconncet into, or is it better to just have new interconnects made that start with one connection and split immediately into 2 interconnects? Like a one meter long y interconnect (rather than an adapter). I hope I'm being clear.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Any Y-adapter will always add extra reactance from itself + extra reactive loads from each amplifier into one output of your preamp. The result will be extraneous harmonic distortions Algthough you will win in dynamics if you feel you havn't enough.
The best Y-adapter for me is no Y-adapter at all. There are preamps designed to work with two amplifiers for example using tape monitoring function along with tape output. For this you only need to plug in your source into the tape input and you'll automatically get output signal from two pairs of output sockets - main and tape...
