Hi all,

I'm going to be adding an Outlaw 755 amp and an SVS sub to my system and will need to split the signal coming from my Denon receiver's front pre-outs (I'll be running the amp AND the SVS from them).

I've been looking at various 90-degree MALE RCA-->2 FEMALE RCA adapters and was wondering if anyone's had good or bad experiences with any of the following (or any other brands):

AudioQuest $10.00 (http://www.audioadvisor.com/store/productdetail.asp?sku=AQM22F/HRD&product_name=Male%20RCA%20to%20Two%20Female%20RCA% 20Adapters)

Parts Express Gold $4.45 (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=091-515)

Phoenix $7.75 (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=263-754)

StreetWires $12.89 (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=263-754)


Thanks for any input.

PS I prefer to run my subs from the pre-outs rather than the dedicated sub channel. Even if someone thinks the other way is better, I'd still like to hear opinions on the y-adapters. Thanks.

I have a pair of Cardas, and a pair of Radio Shack RCA Y connectors. Build quality is very similar, I'm sure you can imagine which cost the most. If you want to experiment, these may be another option:

You could try Vampire Wire's models. Excellent build quality at $20.50 a pair. (I own a couple different pairs of theirs.)
