Can balanced cables be linked together?

Has anyone tried linking two balaced cables together to get the length one needs? Would there be a sonic dedregation with linked cables as opposed to buying one long interconnect the same length?

Bare in mind that each connection will cause signal loss to occur. To top it off, one can run into some weird impedances when linking multiple cables of different designs together. As such, you are best off to use the same cable ( if possible ) and to keep the connections down to a minimum. Sean >
