XLR to RCA adaptor


So I have a new integrated Decware tube amp coming and its inputs are RCA. All my current sources gear has both XLR and RCA outputs, however I have been using XLR interconnects in the current system. Because I'm cheap, and don't want to spend 2000 dollars to get the same cable in RCA format, can I just get an adaptor that will allow me to go from female xlr to male RCA. I know they make them, I'm more concerned about will I damage the equipment?

no damage, but might change the sound. you should be able to sell your XLR's for the same price as buying RCA's. XLR cables tend to cost same as RCA and sometimes a little or a lot more for same model...
actually, there might be certain conditions that may make that less than ideal, check some old threads for comments by Almarg - this is a topic brought up fairly often. Both my friends and I have used an adapter many times without issue, but only until our new used cables arrived...
