Straight XLR vs XLR to RCA adapter

Thanks for everyone's responses.  I don't know if theses facts make any difference but let me put them out there.  My preamp is the Jaton  RC 2000P   Operetta . Amp is   Audio-GD SA-300 SE.    Speakers are Monitor  audio silver RS 6  

I was able to speak to  both King Wa of Audio GD and  George of Jaton.
George says of the RC 2000P that from their test the XLR measures a 6db lower noise floor.  When I asked  King Wa he just said I could expect a 15%  improvement in sound.  Lower noise floor here as well?   He did not elaborate. It is with  these things in mind that Make me want to try the XLR connection. Having said that it would seem that the only way to see any Apple to apple comparison is to get a the GA-0 in XLR As currently I halve the RCA version.

Using RCA/XLR adapters on regular RCA cables makes no sense whatsoever.

Agreed. Did not work at all for me.

Make a cable consisting of ONLY dozens of RCA/XLR adapters stuck together...may sound like crap, but it's interesting and allows all options...custom instantly adjustable length, satisfies your Leggo compulsions, helps train you in child anti choking first aid skills, and just shows you care. Also...this thread reminded me of a horrible Mogami Gold XLR cable experience...I can't talk about it...it was horrible *shudders*. I now use AQ Diamondback XLRs.

Wolf are you OK? I did LOL about the connector cable but in truth it may be just as effective as some of the other fantastic cable "solutions/inventions."
