Splitting turntable signal

The best way to do it is to go out of the tape outputs on the back of one of the amps into the aux input on the other one. Then you can play whatever is connected to the amp. The cable length should'nt be a problem. You can't really split the phono signal because it is too small.

The output of your phono preamp is at line level, so you can split the signal after the phono preamp as you have asked. A switch will be preferable. If you do not use a switch, the phono preamp will see the impedances of both preamps, this can end up being a complex interaction with the output impedance of the phono preamp not being low enough to drive the impedance presented by the combined input impedances of the two preamps. I think that Radio Shack has a basic switch that should be of help. You will still have the long cables loading down the phono preamp, but you would have had that either way.

Ok thanks guys, what about the option presented here first, run from the phono to the phono pre-amp and then to one of the receivers and then from the tape out of the first receiver run to the second receiver?

Now the issue is that I imagined the turntable sitting in between the two rooms where this would be, so now the question is would it work to run from one receiver to the other one a long(er) cable? Assume the following:

(a) recv 1 ---- 15 ft cable ---- turntable + preamp + splitter/switch ---- 20 ft cable ---- recv 2

versus

(b) turntable + preamp + splitter/switch ---- 15 ft cable ---- recv 1 ---- 35!!!! ft cable ---- recv 2

Wouldn't the long cable create a problem? I would go with this solution if it doesn't since it's cleaner and I don't have to load the preamp.

THANKS!
