I have used both cables, single ended not balanced. They are very smooth, with a sweet top end and nice pitch in the lower octaves that I initially really liked, I am referring to the 1011. It put you in the middle to back half of the concert hall, could be a little too laid back, after a while could become boring.
The 1016 has very similar traits but with added warmth, just as Kimber claims. Too much for me. No doubt these cables are for systems with a little forward character or slightly lean sound. I also preferred the sound with the older WBT's to the next gen rca's. My experience - worth a listen.
