I am looking to buy an adapter kit which will handle most situations at a reasonable cost and having good quality components. Can anyone recommend a specific kit? B&H has a kit by "Comprehensive" which sells for $149, but that is the only one I could find.

Remote Audio also has various kits.

Thanks guys, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I am interested in a kit also, but I took a look at the kit in the link and could not determine if the any of the unbalanced to balanced adapters are transformer coupled. (See the note at Rane Audio http://www.rane.com/note110.html.) I would not want to lose the advantages of having a balanced cable run at the adapter!

My guess from looking at the items in the kit in the link is that they are simple connection adapters without any balun. That means using one to connect a balanced cable to an unbalanced device will unbalance the cable.
