Balanced cables


Do different brands/levels of balanced XLR ended cables going to and from differentially balanced components make a difference?

HELP - pls:
I have a preamp w/XLR and RCA outputs, new tube amps in transit that have only RCA inputs and existing balanced (Transparent w/box) ICs previously used w/ARC 210 tube amps.  I have Cardas XLR>RCA adapters on the way too. The distance from preamp > amp is about 1 meter)
I've read all of this thread (lots over my head) but am left with the question of whether using the adapters (to avoid more cable cost) is liable to hurt/help/or be null.  Please advise/inform me.
Thanks
THEN (initforthemusic) if I use the XLR>RCA adaptors from the RCA output of the Krell preamp to the PrimaLuna amp's RCA inputs will all be OK?  I am using ;balanced cables.
Thanks upfront to all who help,
Dave
