Default 2 way split?

Anybody know what happens if you split the signal from a source 2 ways
(to 2 amplifiers) with a '1 goes into 2' RCA phono adaptor??

Is the signal weaker? Does it matter if the signal is a) only being used
by one amp or b) used by both amps at the same time (unlikely)???

Apologies if this sounds dim, but I have no real idea and I have the
adaptors and the need....




If you are using a splitter and only feeding one amplifier and the other
destination plug unconnected then no difference. If you are using both
destination amps then it depends on the input impedance of the destination
amplifiers as to if it loads the source too much, under these conditions
you may end up with a weaker signal. Suck it and see :-))




OK Mike, it is being sucked and seen - seems to be OK. (Tuner shared between
two amps.) Doesn't seem to be making a lot of difference??
