I am looking for recommendations and impressions of available balanced cables that work well with the Shure SE846 IEMs and figured I'd start a specific thread.
 
What's out there? What do you use? Thoughts? Impressions? Recommendations?
Put them here.

I was thrilled to find this thread... and then very disappointed, lol.
 
Apparently nobody uses balanced cables with their Shure se846...

Here is what I posted on the Shure SE846 Impressions thread:
 
I have a set of copper wire Exo cables from plusSound for my Shure SE846 that I really like that cost me about $150.  I got them with Pono balanced terminals.  The cables are attractive, very well made, and the Shure connectors fit tightly.  Many options to customize the cables to your liking.  See http://www.plussoundaudio.com/customcables/inearmonitor.html  Cheers!

I have a Ted Copper Litz MMCX to RSA - a Ted Silver Litz MMCX to RSA - my favorite is a Toxic Virus hybrid silver/copper Litz MMCX to RSA - I have found the 846 takes to a balanced signal like Paris Hilton to a cocktail.... intoxicating....
 
My UMPRO50 likes the above as well.....
 
I have listened through my ALO RxMK-3+, Cypher Labs Theorem 720, ALO International+,ALO The Island and RSA Intruder.... all a whole hell of a lot of fun....

Rather late then never. I bought the Fidue A83 MMCX balanced cable at Penon Audio a time ago, it's still available for $53. The sound is clear and open, bass wonderfull, for this price a real treat! Connect it with the Ibasso DX200 and you're in heaven.
