RCA to XLR Adapter

I have a Herron pre amp that has only RCA outputs.  I'm considering buying a pair of used Merrill Audio Veritas Monoblocks that only have XLR inputs. I found these Cardas female RCA to male XLR adapters that would allow me to make the connection.  Are there any downsides to using adapters such as these?

Moon-Audio's site says, "Balanced adapters are always a bad idea for single-ended cables because they can damage your gear."

I'll take their word for it and avoid going that route.
