Instead it also runs up the other branch of the Y into the other output, causing at least distortion, and possibly damage.

So yes, Mike; no one has ever done that before. Your success with the experiment will assure your undying fame in the annals of Axiom.


You assume too much John. The Axiom forums are not my only source of reading material. My question was specific to using a Y off an output, not to combine two outputs. I have read that that is not a good idea. Two outputs into a Y would make no sense, in any application. So what’s with the condescending tone anyway?

Peter - Thanks. That's what I thought, but wanted to verify.
