Love my KCY cables!! I've never had a problem with them being unbalanced.

Do you think you would ever want to get a wider split with the mic capsules? If so another option is to get KC5 cables and chop them and terminate them in PFAs.
I have some KC5s but haven't chopped them. They're nice but keeping them from getting tangled is hard for me.
I tend to use CMC6 bodies most of the time now but the KCY is great and any time a small rig i can run in ORTF or DIN is called for it's the way to go.

I am going to be primarily running MK41s at first and don't expect to run a wider split but a very good point.

Me either, and Ive had [2] different Schoeps KCY's[still have 1], and I have an NBob KCY now too! Never had an issue with either being unbalanced, so no way I would ditch the KCY to go to KC5's :) The single cable is sooo quick and convenient! Just icing on the cake IMO 8) But I do prefer the balanced connectors better, and was another reason why I wanted to sell my M10 stuff and get another 70d, so that I was DONE with 1/8" plugs for now 8) But everyone has different needs and expectations :)

I bought a KCY and love it! Setup and tear-down is so easy without a tangled mess.

I have both, and I use the KCY much more often. I will use KC5>CMC6 for mission-critical applications, but I've never had an issue with the KCY>PFA except for one time when the temperature was in excess of 100 degrees indoors.

Just out of curiosity, why is the performance of the KCY>PFA setup temperature-dependent?
