    Default Phono Y splitter and running 2 amps , 4 speakers ?

    Hello Peeps .
    Not really sure this should be in here ,but its as good a place as any !!
    Been cobbling together a second system for my mancave. Despite it being cheap ,hopefully it will be as good as I need ,because I doubt my hearing is that good nowadays to worry about top end stuff!
    Also ,my other half will gut me if she knows I am spending too much
    I bought a 95 watt /channel SU -VX700 Technics a while back . I am very pleased with it really (although I swear it takes it a few minutes warming up , to sound right!) and I have added a Denon CD player and a tuner to go with the Sony Minidisc recorder , both are exactly what I need.
    Had a bit of a think about my Mission 752 speakers. Had them for 2 yrs or more ,and they are nice and musical , and since JacHawk gave me an old Rel Q50 sub (top man ) (respeakered it !) they have been ok , and now I upgraded the amp , even better somehow , despite me worrying that they are a tad too small. I never wanted a sub , but wow ,how it puts that extra whoomph into the room and on most forms of music , I can up the treble and lower the bass a bit ,Perfick!!

    Now then , when I bought the CD and Tuner ,I also had to buy the SU-V700 Tech/s amp and 2 Mission 733 speakers chucked in . The one bass cone had cracked badly on one side and the covers were hanging off at the top (like they always do when the plastic pegs snap off) So ,I repaired the cone for now with a strip of soft clear plastic and some wood glue ,and put black Velcroe on the covers. They sound nearly or as good as the 752's!!
    I wondered ,rather than putting the 4 speakers on the VX 700 , put the other v700 into the system and split the line output into the 2 amps and run one set of speakers on each?
    I know that you then need to match or play around with the volumes on each , try and keep the left /rights correct , but has anyone any comments ,other than I am mad ??

    Oh , and I need a cable , a phono splitter to allow me to share the line level output to the 2 amps?
    That shouldn't be a problem should it?

    Are there no pre-outs on the amps?
    Controlling the volume on two different amps may be fun.

    Don't know , will have a look!
    The reason for this was because I wanted to bi wire the 2 sets of speakers , but the 733's are single wired . Boo
    Perhaps I will find some 733i's. Better still just buy one set of nice speakers , I did bid on some Kef C80's a few days ago but they made too much !!
    And I would need to do it to each separate to split the feed


    Maybe I will cobble a lead up and try it just to satisfy my curiosity. The phasing will be all to cock ,I have been told

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
