Is there any advantage going Balanced-to-Unbalanced?

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

My preamp has a set of XLR outputs, but none of my other equipment have balanced connection provisions. Is there any advantage to using balanced-to-unbalanced (XLR to RCA) cables to connect to my power amplifier? I've built all my analog IC's using Mogami Neglex and Canare RCA's and am satisfied with the results. I have no hum or EMI problems.
