Best RCA to 1/4" TS adapter plugs?

Found a few threads on this topic, but non really answered the question.

I don't really want to have custom rca to 1/4" interconnects made at this time, just looking to utilize my Audioquest Diamondbacks and/or King Cobra's. Unfortunately, I need RCA to 1/4" adapters. 

 

Does anyone have recommendations on decent brands, or does it even matter? I'm hoping I don't lose too much signal quality by going this route as opposed to just having some interconnects made for me...

 

Will something like this do the job?

Yeah, something like that would do. But, if you want to go overboard and get something that's more audiophile, then you could consider these: http://www.hndme.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=2644&idcategory=

Monoprice has gold plated ones for 39 cents each.  I've bought lots of these (for hooking RCA cables to pro audio gear) and they are great.

These definitely look interesting. I'll do a little homework on them. Kinda thinking at this pricepoint, however, I may as well get some $100 custom interconnects made though. But thank you for the suggestion.

I actually have a few of these lying around the house. Not the monoprice ones, but some that are very similar.

 

A big thank you to both of you. I really appreciate the input. Was kinda hoping to find something that was in-between both your suggestions. $20-$30 for some decently priced audiophile-ish adapters. I'll keep looking.

 

Once again, thank you both for your recommendations.
