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)???


Most signals from a preamp or CD player are provided by a low impedance output
less than 600 ohms.

The usual minimum input Z of an amplifier is 10k, so two such
devices connected to the same 600 ohm outlet will not noticeably change the
signal level,
or its quality.
Higher input Z of other gear will have even less effect.

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

Remember MrG loves valves. Some valve pre-amps have a pretty high output
impedance.
