[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 894504, member: 555320"] Using a y-splitter on the RCA's would result in a voltage loss of, at worst, a few tenths of a volt. Nothing major, nothing to even concern yourself with, and it would be 100% inaudible and would not affect a single thing. Using a line driver or equalizer simply to add more preouts to your system would actually be a worse idea than simply using y-splitters. Why? For one, it would be much more expensive (since you would want to use atleast a decent unit; so you are looking a $50-$75 at best). 2nd, running another component in the signal chain has a [B]much, much[/B] higher chance of inducing noise into the system then splitting the RCA's does. Remember, each additional component adds it's own little piece of noise to the system [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Not to mention it dramatically increases your chances of ground loops/alt whine/etc etc. The y-splitters basically have a ZERO chance of adding noise to your system. All in all, y-splitters are a MUCH better option. [/QUOTE]
