Vertical Bi-Amp Wiring

Cvoeb, I beg to differ, I don't think the Y-dapter you suggest will improve upon things. The Quads are immensely revealing, and I tried it with all sorts of music, with no difference between the two versions.So why run a double strand of interconnects, when one strand will do ? Besides, Robert Stein of the Cable Company, who is highly knowledgeable in all questions of wiring, was of the same opinion as I am ....and mind you, he could have made more money in selling me two pairs of interconnects instead of one only. I also miss the reason in your post, why you suggest that version one would be the better one. Perhaps you could give more "corroberative evidence"?

I think option one would be better. You can use something like this:

It is better than a regular y splitter cable.

Rap, I'm using your second configuration from a Gryphon Electra to 2 pairs of Gryphon Ref. monos. The wire is XLO Sig. balanced. Tried first with a Y connector at the preamp end and two runs of XLO. Could not discern any difference either way sonically (Speakers were Quads) and so of course chose the cheaper version. Cheers,
