Re: How to split a bog-standard analogue stereo signal without distortion

["theboyguk5" <ukha_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

None of yer resistor talk here m'lad - all gibberish to me :-)

What I need is a product that I can exchange for hard cash to sort this out
methinks. Something automatic or 'dumb'

I'm just taking the Wii analogue signal, splitting it, and then passing
each feed to the 2 home cinema amps. For sure, something's not right when
both are connected.
