Hi! I just received my ESP-95X, which is a fantastic pair of electrostatic cans powered by an energizer with a 3.5mm input and only one RCA input, which is problematic. It's problematic because I have two sources--a turntable and a Schiit Modi 2 Uber, both of which produce RCA outputs. Why not use splitter cables? The reason is that I also use an RFTLYS eA1A tube amplifier, which has two RCA inputs and a 6.5mm output (for headphones).
I switch between my sources and between headphones and speakers fairly often, so plugging and unplugging is not a viable solution. I just want to ask, is it a good idea to route the signal from the headphone output of the amplifier into the energizer? Or is it better to use splitter cables? I'm just wondering if it is good practice to use the headphone output as an auxiliary signal, since it's already amplified for headphone use.
