RCA / BALANCED OUTPUT


I am interested in purchasing a cd player with balanced only outputs. Everything else in my system is RCA inputs and outputs. Is there anyone running cables from a balanced output to RCA input. What are my options? Is there a cable you can recommend in the $100 to $300 range?

The easiest option is the XLR/RCA adapter like Elizabeth mentions. I also have an inexpensive pair ($100???) of interconnects that have XLR's on one end and RCA's on the other end. I tend to wind up using the XLR/RCA adapters more, because I don't really like the sound of that XLR/RCA interconnect that much. It's ok, but too warm for my system. If you're going to buy a special cable with XLR's on one end and RCA's on the other, you'd better be damn sure that you like how it sounds and then don't change AYNTHING!!!
