Mix of RCA Balanced Cables. Is it ok?


I have been advised against using RCA and Balanced cables both in the same system. I was told that unless you have balanced cables all round, you are wasting your money. How true is this?

Does anyone know if RCA to Balance converters actually work? I think there are 2 types, one is the little plug kind and the other is a chassis kind. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks pple, for your contributions so far. Is it wise then to convert from RCA to balanced?
At this point, I feel that I have come to recognise that as Jfrech has said, it is really neither life or death and using a mix of cables shouldn't have an effect on daily enjoyment of music as pointed out by Detlof. Thanks for all who have contributed. I really appreciate your inputs. Cheers and have a nice day. By the way, I'm gonna get my first balanced cables. :)
