I made what turned out to be a pretty nice hybrid balanced cable for my HiFiMan HE-500 headphones using very high quality Canare L-4E6S Star Quad cable. The details of the build are here: http://robrobinette.com/HeadphoneMods.htm#HE-500 I say "hybrid" because the cable's star quad wrap and braided shield provide RFI protection to the earcup split, then the conductors are braided in a 4-wire round braid for 3 inches, then the conductor pairs are twisted to the earcup SMC connectors.
