I've just changed my mind from an Alpine amp to a Zapco amp that uses Symbilink only. My problem is that I just bought my rca's from Knukonceptz.com and they have already arrived. Would I get any benifit from using the rca's then using a female to female converter into the Symbilink balanced line transmitter which then plugs into the amp. Or do I have to plug the BLT into the HU and buy Symbilink cables back to the amp and just be out the money I spent on the rca's.

You should be able to use adapters with no issues at all. There will be no benefit or detriment to your system either way you go. As long as you are paying careful attention to your installation, there won't be any difference either way...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

So do the Symbilink cables have any benifits at all?

The benefit to them, is balanced connections between Zapco components. The benefit to balanced connections is no chance of induced noice entering the system through signal cables. That is all. Detriments include DRAMATICALLY increased cost, as you must use Zapco Symbi-link cables, and you must use Zapco components throughout the system.
