Splitting line level out from preamp, versus using 2nd set of outputs

I'd like to add a line lever splitter between my preamp and amplifier, close to the amp end on a set of 4 meter interconnects and send signals to two amplifiers that are located near to my speakers, versus buying another 4 meter interconnect to drive the second amp from the second set of line level outputs on my preamp. 

I'm considering asking the interconnect manufacturer to make me a set of female to 2 female splitters out of spare set of interconnects.  I'd use two one meter pairs of the same interconnects to feed the amplifiers.

These are RCA cables.

I know that it can be done, my question is, am I setting myself up for disappointment?

I'm 76, over the many years, I've used Y splitters for this and that, and it's never been discernable to me or my friends that help me listen for any problems/differences.

I just gave an old 4 way Video Switch to a friend, he used it backwards to select between two TTs, works great, no more switching cables manually.
