XLR interconnects


I read that XLR interconnects can maintain the signal over longer distances therefore it is ideal to use an XLR interconnect over rca unbalanced cables. Why then do you see cable manufacture companies produce 0.5 m, 1m, 2m, 3m interconnects for audio gear? What is difference over a 1m, 2m, 3m rca unbalanced cable? Is there any sound differences?

i noticed a difference in XLR's ...  lowered the noise floor, quieter background noise....  can't hear a thing in my system... my components are balanced as well though... even if your components isn't balanced, XLR still helps...  not all XLR interconnects are true balance design... if it doesn't say they are in the description then you better ask the manufacturer ....
