RCA versus XLR interconnects

For short distances (less than 3 ft) which is better, RCA or XLR for interconnects (source to preamp and preamp to amp)?  I know the XLR's are balanced but it seems like that only helps with longer distances.

Listen to @ghdprentice.  He speaks the truth. XLR work on a higher voltage and will give you a slight increase in volume, but for a one meter IC, I doubt either of us will hear any other details.

All the best.
