Can a balanced cable be terminated with rca's

All adaptors have an affect on the sound. Why complicate things with adaptors? Keeping it simple usually results in better sound.

I am looking at mogami wiring cut to foot . The stuff is sold with xlr in the stores . They do not state if they are dual purpose . rca or xlr . basically looking for the technical aspect . I only have unbalanced equipment , but would like to hear mogami . Hence the need to reterminate .

Yes, as Earndog replied, balanced cables can be run with RCA connectors.

You can order Mogami 2534 cable, which is perhaps their most widely used model in balanced XLR applications, terminated with RCA connectors and in various lengths and colors, from Markertek.

I have done that, with excellent results in my system.
