Mix of RCA Balanced Cables. Is it ok?


I have been advised against using RCA and Balanced cables both in the same system. I was told that unless you have balanced cables all round, you are wasting your money. How true is this?

Does anyone know if RCA to Balance converters actually work? I think there are 2 types, one is the little plug kind and the other is a chassis kind. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The above advice is good - if it is a long run cable then balanced will help with picking up noise along the way and sometimes it will add some gain to the situation which may benefit your components - otherwise it is just one of those extra deal/cost things.
