can rcas and xlr's mix in the same system

i use rca interconnects between my pre and power amps Classe Dr6 and Classe Ca 300 power. To make use of the bypass switch on the Dr6 pre amp it has to be set to balanced.My marantz sa1 has balanced outputs as well as Rcas.Before I purchase balanced interconnects I would like to find out can I use the rca's between pre and power,and balanced between Cd player and pre amp. I listen to jazz,Soul and Blues. Please help.

The answer is yes, but I would go all balanced , because most , if not all of Classe's products are internally truly balanced.

Actually I re thought your post. I would still go all balanced , but pertaining to your question, set your pre to balanced and make sure the rca outs are still active with another source ie. TV, VCR, Tape, Tuner whatever, you just want to make sure it does not disable the RCA outs.
