WHy not use an RCA "Y" Adpter? Under $2.00


You can, providing that the impedance of the line out is high enough
to tolerate the loading, or the circuit is short protected. Low
impedance outputs will merrily self-destruct when shorted. The other
disadvantage is that the output of one channel may affect the feedback
in the other channel if it uses op amps.

Better safe than sorry, and the sound will be cleaner.

The minimal extra effort required seems well justified IMO.

You mean the impedance of the input you are feeding is high enough not to
load down the cd player's line output? If you are plugging into an RCA type
connector chances are it is high impedance.

I agree, do not do this at 600 Ohms. Use a combining network.
