+2 for the Audio Sensibility Impact SE. Recently bought one (also balanced) expecting a minor improvement over the Jelco 506 Balanced tonearm cable I was using and was shocked at how much better it was than the Jelco.
The Jelco had (like the Audio Sensibility) also been cryoed and burned in so it has more to do with the wire and/or connectors that Steve is using. And the Jelco was no slouch; it replaced and bettered a custom tonearm cable that Gene at Takefive Audio built for me using Cardas wire and a Cardas DIN and Vampire XLR's I believe.
The Audio Sensibility is ridiculously good for the price. I just ordered another one for the mono half of my setup.
