Recommnedations for moderately price balanced IC's, and adaptors to an RCA end


The title of  the thread may be a bit unclear. However, I need recommendations for a "moderately" price balanced interconnects.  Also, are there quality adaptors to convert a balanced end into an RCA input or output without major signal loss??

I want to use my Rogue Sphinx hybrid integrated as a pre-amp because it has a variable output (pre-out) for an second amplifier, and connect it to a Balanced Audio Technology VK-200 amp that will  only accept balanced. IC's  

The Rogue integrated has all RCA input and outputs .Therefore, I also need a recommendation for two XLR to RCA adapters.   Eventually, I will buy a separate pre-amp, possibly the new Rogue RP-1.  

Thank you

Define "moderately".

If by that you mean as inexpensive as possible, you might want to go and check out a big musical instrument store, (around here we have "Guitar Center" stores).
These types of stores will have the cheaper types of adapters you are looking for.  They tend to sell professional equipment so they should be made decently, and yet cost just a few dollars.  (I have a pair of RCA to XLR adapters that were all metal, and sounded just fine.)
They have balanced cables too, but I have no idea on the quality of those, as I did not try those out.

My two cents worth.
Good luck in your search.
