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.
Yes, I was looking at the Audioquest M-22-F/FLX Y-Adapters which appear to do this.

Some other posts suggest that the best method is to use an active crossover which is probably the 100% solution, but wondered if the Y cable solution is "good enough" for most.
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.
Please explain vertical and horizontal bi amping? What if the amps are NOT the same?

Thanks.
