Y-cords. Safe? (was Re: OT: Note for mono Electrix users)

[sine@zerocrossing.net]

Is the summing of two signals with a simple Y cable putting too small of a
load on the op amps of the sending device?  I was always taught never to
do something like this.  Can current componants handle the smaller
impedance?
