Sound impression – Paired with Shozy Pola: If Pola feels to be a bit plain on the upper frequencies for your taste, Brandy would be a good option. Brandy neatly opens up the upper frequencies with a lot of air going on, presenting a truly analytical detail from the electrostatic drivers that were somewhat hidden with the stock cable. There are sure other cables that would also open up the upper frequencies for Pola, but not so much as Brandy does. There are elements that Brandy differentiates from other cables, the first being the texture. While most SPC or pure-silver cables would put a stronger highlight on the high ends, matching with Pola easily resulted in the vocals being dry and quite soulless. Along with that, although those cables would pull up the brightness, the sound loses its dynamics and sound a bit further away.


In contrast, Brandy opens up the treble details and energy without exaggeration and most importantly, the vocals would step in closer with an even fuller and clearer body. The right portion of gold added to the sound appropriately moisturizes the sound, keeping the sound sweet and organic. Speaking of sweetness, vocals would also gain a glimpse of sweetness and creaminess with a micro touch of resonance, making the vocals sound more realistic and refreshing. Not to forget mentioning that the bass thuds stay just as heavy, deep, and moist. Without killing the bass quality rather makes the bass response faster and tighter, creating a cleaner atmosphere. This is very ideal if your bass feels to be muddy and especially appreciable for Pola. Powered with Brandy, Pola now sounds uncomparably clean, airy, and lively, while carrying the same weighty and full-bodied bass and mids. Matching with these would be a definite way to prove that an IEM could be brought up to the next level by pairing the right cable.

Sound impression – Paired with Unique Melody Maven: What I appreciate from Brandy is that it adds body to the sound so naturally with delicacy. Matching Maven with Brandy like scratching that itchy spot, to say the very least. The bass gets deepen with the overall sound gaining a fuller body and larger imaging. The tone stays near exactly identical as original while deepening the color and clarity of the texture. The already large mids are now straight out massive and the highs now floating in the air with liveliness and boldness. I would like to highlight that mids get fuller without loosening with reverbs, staying just as tight and dense. The meaty, dense bass strikes with speed and depth.
