Is there a cable maven in the house?


I own active (powered) speakers which have "balanced" XLR inputs. My preamp, used to control volume, is "unbalanced" RCA out-only. What is the best way to accomplish the connection?

There are ways described above will work, but to have a true balanced chain I'd replace preamp(which I did myself a while ago). The ideal case when you have directly coupled balanced (no transformer no capacitor) connection between components to have minimum noise and maximum transparency.
Among the choices above I'd choose Jensen transformers that would actually convert your signal to balanced.
