Sorry, but that's just not the case. I once had a splitter that was nothing but a piece of metal with no wires and it broke the jack into which it was plugged in two days. A splitter with two short (two- or three-inch) wires will place far less stress on the jack. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russ & Valerie" <valruss@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 10:15 AM Subject: [bookport] Re: Request: second headphone jack The smaller the profile of the splitter, the less leverage there is when a cord is pulled. Having a splitter that has a long throw and 2 long wires connecting to the earphone wires causes a large stresss on the receptacle. Find a low profile splitter that has no wires. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walt Smith" <walt@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, 27 April, 2006 18 14 Subject: [bookport] Re: Request: second headphone jack > Actually, I think that the physics of the thing would dictate that a > splitter that's nothing but a plug; as opposed to one with a couple of > short > cords; would place more stress on the jack. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Angie Matney" <armatney@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 6:10 PM > Subject: [bookport] Re: Request: second headphone jack > > > My DVD player has a second headphone jack, but I don't think I would use > one > on the BP.
