not what i meant. stock cables are SE. a recabling job for a good number of headphones will be as much or more than the headphone itself (assuming you can't diy). a big expenditure to go from SE to SE where improvements like cables are not going to be huge. but if you use a balanced system, you need a balanced cable as well, thus giving you a legitimate and necessary reason other than sonic improvements for the recabling. however, i would add that if you are using a top end system involving a SE amp, then recabling to add that last bit to the equation makes sense, but this generally is not the norm.
