Wat's more, unless you are plugging the same low-impedance devices into both Y outputs, _and_ the source is impedance matched, you would not split the power equally. I don't know what you want to do with the second output, but it's more than likely a relatively high impedance, so it would not load the circuit at all. I could be wrong, but it seems logical to me. --doug
