Like FraGGLeR I didn't notice a significant difference balanced / single ended though there seems to be a slight advantage to running balanced.  The caveat is that it's hard to do a back to back comparison, and I haven't be willing to do the work for a blind A/B comparison.  I also have little motivation since my HD800 is already balanced for my GS-Xmk2 to it's easier for me to stay balanced.

+1 I have a 4 XLR female to 1/4 adapter which helps me switch when needed which helps. Now I have to figure out if I like my ALO MKIII-B vs the M8. Have not listened extensively but plan to over the weekend.

On another note I guess I got lucky because I got mine new from hifiheavn on ebay and it arrived in two days. Buy it now on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday and have been enjoying them.

I really wouldn't be surprised if yours was already shipped, they just haven't sent you the tracking number yet. As I said, I got my email on Friday, but the shipment was initiated on Wednesday.
 
Unfortunately, I have to wait until tomorrow to get my unit since FedEx already loaded it onto the delivery vehicle yesterday even though I asked them to hold it for pick up. Could'a had is yesterday...
 
Oh well, should make Monday all the better.
