I am in the UK. Would I get appreciable signal loss (e.g. equivalent to 0.5 of a REN or more) if I use several adaptors on my landline phone?
By "adaptor" I mean the sort of 2 (or 3) into one adaptor. See image at:

For most of the time the adaptors would not actually have any extra devices attached.
Stefan: If the adapters are in good condition and properly working there will be negligible loss.
Dan is right. The ringer impedance is at least in the 10s of ohms, and the adapters should introduce a fraction of an ohm if the connections are normal/ok.

I don't know:) with the money you've spent on all those adapters you could've bought some bell wire and placed a telephone outlet just where you need it instead of extending the line around.
all you need is a drill, =BCin long bit to go through walls, wiretacker, wire and a tel/outlet from the 99=A2 store.
