doubt any of those would have an actual balun type of transformer in
them. At the price they show, I would give them a try, especially
looking at the ones that do not hae the word balun in the description.

They probably use the word balun to describe going from a ballanced 2
wire system to one that is not balanced.


These *are* transformer-based devices and not designed for any level of current other than AV signal currents.

Apart from all that, using an RCA jack or plug for the stated purpose is just not a very good solution in the first place.
