Pretty damn close. It's almost universal that phono plugs are RCA. They need to be short but since they are often truly balanced, you'd think that the standard would go to at least mini-XLR plugs or something. That is, the phono catridge usually has a coil, and you get both ends of that coil, so it really IS a balanced source.
Anyway, I doubt you'd hear much of a difference just using an adapter. They're cheap to experiment with. So long as you don't show your friends you'll be golden. Honestly though I'd consider just trading yours in. You might even find some one on AGon who has the same pair with RCA ends who would trade.
Best,
Erik
