XLR waste of time ?

would it be worth it to use a set of cardas adapters, rca to xlr , in order to run my simaudio lp3 into my ayre K5x-e balanced preamp xlr input instead of the rca input im currently using ? thanks .

If your phono stage was fully-balanced, and your tonearm cable was fully-balanced, then it would be advantageous to used balanced interconnects.
