Need 25 foot interconnects


I just moved around my equipment so that the rack with the preamp and digital sources is on the left side of the room and the monoblock amps are just behind the left speaker on a short platform on the floor.  I’m using a 15’ RCA interconnect right now, but want to move each monoblock to just behind each speaker — which means I need a longer cable.  The monoblocks are unbalanced RCA input only but my preamp can do balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA out.  Would a balanced XLR cable plus an XLR to RCA adapter work for this setup and be my best option?  Or should I just get a Belden (or similar) 25’ unbalanced RCA interconnect?  Or is there a better option?

This is exactly what I would do in his situation, balanced might be better if you have tons of noise from other equipment like recording studios do, but in the home environment it's unlikely, though it does happen every once and a while.

+1 for Erik's suggestion.  Probably not a noise problem in the listening room.

They sell a Rolls MB15b ProMatch that converts from rca to xlr nicely done.

These are exceptional  but the gold ones that are half the money are really decent  as well. These are really silent
