Too bad Nordost doesn't make a balanced version, though.
How did the BH fit the insert in the cans?
Blue Heaven isn't balanced but Heimdal 2 is balanced with a kit to go to 1/4" & mini

As others have replied, Heimdall only comes with balanced XLR with a pair of cumbersome and heavy pig tail 1/4" and 3.5mm single ended connectors

From RMAF I read that Kimber makes an Axios version for the Elear.
Probably very expensive when terminated with a 4pin XLR.
I have not seen it in shops yet (preorder).


We have most Kimber Axios models in stock

Wywires offers their red cable with 3.5 and balanced or 1/4. I bought 5ft with 3.5 and 4 pin xlr for $299, for my Sony Z7 should work for Elear too.
Very nice cable IMHO .

I am not sure if this implies that you have this cable for order?
You can call Wayne @ 800-700-7029 to be sure we have the exact version and confirm the price for you. We generally have most versions in stock

We've had people insist on doing over the phone but we don't feel it's safe. Being that PayPal is a secured website we feel it's a safer transaction. Our E commerce site is about to go live and it uses PayPal as a secured method of processing your payments.

The most secure, hardened government sites can be hacked, nothing is really secure, the phone is by far and away the most secure process as long as the staff don't write the number down.

Agreed.  There is far less probability of a credit card number being stolen when you give it to a vendor in person or over than phone than when you enter it into a website.  In the first scenario, you're trusting one person to do a good job protecting the information, while in the second scenario you're trusting thousands of people to do a good job.  And in the first scenario, you only need to worry about one person who might steal the information, while in the second scenario the number of people trying to steal the information is endless.
 
And regardless, what's the worst that can happen when it is stolen?  Having gone through it several times, it's just a little inconvenient - but less inconvenient than going around life worrying about it being stolen.  Credit card companies have accepted the risk so that you won't be afraid to use your credit card, and their interest rates and fees are adjusted to cover the costs of that risk.
 
Having worked 15+ years in cyber security and risk management, I get paid to think through such scenarios and make decisions best for my employer - though I'm protecting information from foreign nation states looking to gain a military advantage.
