Joining in (pics later). My 3 main phones HE-500, Signature Pro and JH13 are all balanced with 40" TWau Reference terminated in Kobicon. Various TWag Reference pig tails to other terminations including a 48" one with 2 x 3-pin xlr for the home amp. Amps are SR-71B for the portable rig and RudiStor RPX-100 for home rig. Source is a balanced Audiolab 8200CD cd player and dac.

  My cables are all made by 
 
Toxic Cables
Forza Audio Works
 
And just recently @cCasper TFG .
 
All are made to the highest standard but at very affordable rates.

Thank you for the information I placed an order with cCasper TFG. thanks Hifimanrookie for suggesting Toxic Cable I have "Silver Poison" but I can't deal with the wait process. I will post pictures when I have the product.

I'm in. My rig consists of:
- Lynx Hilo as a DAC and monitor controller
- Yamaha HS8 monitors with Presonus Temblor T10 sub (all balanced)
- Violectric V281 headphone amp 
- Sennheiser HD800 / Beyerdynamic T5p / AKG Q701 headphones (all balanced)
I tend to do all my mods and cabling myself.
Pics will follow later.

  I'm finally running a balanced setup. I modded my T90 to balanced by installing a 4 pin mini XLR chassis connector into them and running them with my ALO The International.
 
The mini XLR pins are:
 
1: left pos.
2: left neg.
3: right neg.
4: right pos. 
 
I also made a single ended adapter for them for use with mini-mini cables and my V-Moda Boom Pro mic cable for gaming.
 

 
 
 

 
Everything seems so much more separated in balanced that single ended, its awesome. The bass decay is so much quicker too. I am very happy with what I am hearing.

Yeah i'am a construction worker so i travel all over the country and i did some work overseas few in the US.

 

[PETEREK]

That is pretty cool! That's one thing I want to do someday is travel a lot, not necessarily as my job though. It's awesome that you are getting paid for it though!

 

[i luvmusic 2]

I've doing it for 19 years it is difficult

 

[PETEREK]

Wow man, commitment!

 

[i luvmusic 2]

I took jobs months at a time some of my previous jobs lasted years(overseas)things we do to survive in this world/Audiophile world
And if i'am backhome i'am off for months so i can relax.

Yeah I know man, don't make me think about it. I spend probably 1/3 of my time per week working just so the other 2/3's of my life don't suck miserably.
