Splitter


Just put AQ double connector on the output of my phono section in order to record to a newly acquired reel to reel.  I seem to be gearing an increase in upper mids...a little brightness I could do without.
Is it all in my head?  Can anyone suggest a reason why there might be a change in tonal balance? This seems to happen even when the signal is not passing through the decks circuitry; so it's flowing the same path as always.  Solid metal (no cable) splitter have a substantial effect?

Al, thanks. 
I understand now, how the the change came about.  I'm thinking a quality switch would be a better choice for my system, so there'd be only one interconnect and device being driven at a time. 
I hope I can find a 1 in-2out switch. Haven't seen one yet.

Thanks Al, major help and much appreciated.   I'll give the db systems switch a try,  seems like the right way to go.  

Trying to avoid frequently making and breaking connections.  Hard on the cables.  Also I like to add to an ongoing mix as a track comes on and fits.
