Of course I did. And the HFC article.I don't think you read the thread with due attention.
And perhaps not even the last phrase of the OP...
The elementary point that seems beyond you remains. If balanced sounds worse then it is due to inadequate equipment rather than the nature of the connection. In the general domestic case they should sound identical.
It's simple. If you hear a difference and SE is preferred then you have inadequate equipment. If balanced is preferred with a short connection then you may have a signal 0v problem or earth loop.
