1/4" stereo y-cables for Rocktron Patchmate

[Ozz666]

I've been thinking about going true stereo on my rack. My Prophesy preamp, BBE 422A, Rocktron ProQ and VHT 2150 are all true stereo. The only thing is I'm using a Rocktron Patchmate switcher and they say to use a stereo Y-cable to run out of the last loop into your stereo power amp. Is this the best way to run everything?
Any ideas where to get some high quality Y-cables? I'm using George L's for everything and wanna keep the signal nice and transparent.

Thanks,

Re: 1/4" stereo y-cables for Rocktron Patchmate

Joel I used to use a Y cable from the 3+ to my 20/20 and it would sound fine. When I got the ProQ I let the ProQ split the signal instead of using the Y cable. There was no difference in tone or noise at all using the Y. With that said it may not be the case with your rig. I am using a Rapco Neutrik connector Y cable and have no complaints. Here is where I got it. This place has tons of cables so I would call and ask their opinion on what the best noise free instrument Y cable they have available is.

Also if you find the Y cable solution to noisy try Mario at:

He has a splitter that will turn the signal stereo for you with little if any noise. And it has a bonus 3rd buffered split output you can run to a tuner.
