Use of RCA Y Splitters?


Anyone had any experiences (good or bad) in using RCA Y splitters at the pre-amp output to go to two power amps?

Thanks.

Some cable manufacturers will make up y cables, two full cables terminated in one RCA at the pre-amp end. Best way to go, IMO.
the use of an active c-over would be appropriate if you wanted to use two diff amps to horizontally bi-amp AND neither one had any gain control. when I vertically bi-amped with two identical amps (of course they would have to be to vertically bi-amp) I used Y cables. The advantage of y cables over a y adapter is that you eliminate a pair of cable junctions.
