RCA to XLR adapters?

I currently have a complete single end (RCA) input system but was possibly looking at other amps that are fully balanced and accept only balanced or XLR connections. My question is will these adaptors give you the full benefit of a balanced amp or preamp? Or will it simply was work ok? I have expensive cable that I will not replace but is terminated with RCA's.

I've found using transformers sound and work the best. I've tried Lundahls and Jensens. I use it for a balanced out on the linestage into the SE input of the power amp.

The Jensen PI-2XR worked great and Lundahl 1544a sounded fine too.

Martykl, yes, we are all usually out on the lake ice fishing every weekend starting about September or so. I'll ask them next time I see them but I heard that Dean was injured up north recently so I may not see him very soon. Apparently he was near a penguin farm when they got loose and he was nearly waddled to death.

Mary Tyler Moore calls it 'upstate' but we call it up north. Northern Minnesota, with its vast penguin ranches.
