Reddit reviews Cable Electronics Labs AV 400 Prograde Composite A/V Distribution Amplifiers

You can just split the video from the Wii and run it into the capture card and TV. Then, on your PC you can mirror it directly to the projector as you usually would.

The problem with splitting the signal that way is that it usually does not degrade quality too much, but it will affect brightness. You can resolve this by using something similar to this to split the signal while amplifying it.

Here's how I do it. I have the N64 (or PS1, NES, SNES, whatever) AV output routed through a powered A/V splitter. It has to be powered or you'll get signal degradation/lag. Here's the one I use:

One output from the splitter gets routed into my Elgato Game Capture HD and my recording PC. Elgato software records it.

Second output from the splitter gets routed into my old school CRT television where I actually monitor and play the game. No lag or delay. Pristine signal. CRT goodness.

So this is kind of a tech question to go along with potential purchase advice. I have a Modi 2 Uber, and I want to send its audio output to multiple inputs. Two is fine, three would be ideal. Now, I've tried RCA splitters and piggyback cables, and they don't work when one of the cables is a 22AWG RCA to 3.5mm cable that I've gotten. They've worked fine with different cabling, but is it that:

• The 22AWG cable won't really work with splitters
  
• I need another similar 22AWG cable to have the splitter work properly, for impedance reasons?
  
  Now, I could just buy a Schiit Sys, I suppose, and be done with it, but I've been also thinking about picking up an audio distribution amplifier (http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Electronics-AV-400-Distribution/dp/B000BLJE8W), as then I could run cables to my desktop amp, an amp on my couch, and a cable to my 5.1 receiver, but it's not a hassle to use the couch cable into the receiver's front 3.5mm input.
  
  Any thoughts on a solution?

  Also, I have some Sennheiser HD 580 headphones coming in soon, and I'm probably gonna want new ear pads. Now, the official ear pads are...rather expensive. There are some unofficial options, are there any that y'all personally recommend? Was thinking about these: http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Sennheiser-Headphone-Cushion-Earpads/dp/B00TGCDG90/ – Brainwavz pads should work with some cutting, too, velour angled earpads possibly work without affecting the sound too much?
