Many custom cables intend to make the sound fuller by enhancing the bass quantity or warming up the sound, yet the 1960S MKII doesn’t take simple steps like that. The difference is that the 1960S MKII deepens the depth and thickens the tone color, making the IEMs sound much richer and more established. The ultra-lows and sub-bass gently increase in quantity with a much thicker tone and body. However, the bass doesn’t get any dull in technicality or muddy. Not only the bass but also the overall nuance retain more weight while keeping the sound crisp and agile.

Another strength of the 1960S MKII is its ability to utilize generous reverbs cleanly and naturally. It’s not about loosening up the tight sound or making things boomy. The 1960S MKII infuses natural resonance and reverbs in the music and IEM to create a much livelier, breathable sound. It’s basically breathing life into the IEMs. Vocals also gain quite a significant gain in scale and density, giving the similar fullness found from the bass. Interestingly, despite the cable’s dark, grand, and bass-enhancing nature, the vocals are surprisingly clean and clear. The smooth yet powerful dynamics are being poured out with fine grains and textures, giving a smooth, emo touch to the sound while significantly boosting the resolution.

The 1960S MKII is a cable that much respects the IEM’s intended sound. However, a unique lushness gets added to the tone, making the music much more enjoyable while retaining the charms that the IEMs already have. Highs pop out with stronger clarity yet fatigue-free. The 1960S MKII has a perfect white balance for the highs and achieves refreshing coolness without actually getting cold or overly bright. The treble tone gains a boost in clarity while staying thoroughly organic too. Needlessly to say, the 1960S MKII achieves a great soundstage – wide, deep, and vast.

As for the depth, the 1960S MKII not only dives deep towards the lower range but also reaches higher altitudes for the headroom, adding much more dynamics to the headroom. Overall, the 1960S MKII differs from many other cables in that the texture resolution and analyticity go along with the sound getting fuller – while most cables have to choose from either one. The 1960s MKII simply achieves both, reinforcing both analyticity and musicality.
