XLR to RCA plugs or cable

I need to be able to plug the output from a phono stage in balanced mode (XLR plugs) into a single ended (RCA plugs) amp. My options are:

1. Buy Neutrik converter plugs (solid and good value)

2. Buy Cardas converter plugs 6 times neutrik price

3. buy a custom XLR to rca cable?

I can solder small stuff and have done many speaker wire terminations.I do model trains and the decoders inside them now with LED lighting and resistors takes a learning curve. I was just trying to point out that it is not for everyone, but manufacturers can do it! I agree the less stuff the better and I especially dislike adapters. I will run my ethernet straight through the wall vs using a cheap plate that installers love so much. TAKE CARE! KEN.
