Ah, but I did not say "impedance matched" (as in equal source-output/load-input impedances), but "impedance balanced" - meaning equal positive and negative signal line impedances to ground. This fact, along with the third line in the balanced connection that connects chassis grounds (thus letting inter-chassis currents travel on this line, instead of on a signal line) I think must account for the sound/performance difference from balanced connections.
