Wywires

Wywires is a small American cable company. Alex Sventitsky designs and hand builds all his cables. They were 8 years in design. They are superb. Reviews have all been exceptional. These are mid-priced cables that compete with the very best. Reviews can be read here.

Positive Feedback just names the Wywires Gold series interconnects their top pick in the under $2000.00 cable category.

All Wywires cables offer:
- Totally silent background between notes
- State of the art realism, especially vocals
- Greatly expanded soundstage in all dimensions including the vertical
- Take the edge off sibilance (SSS’s) while enhancing inner detail
- Present instruments in their lifelike scales
- The most natural rendering of tone, timbre, attack and decay
- State of the art definition and resolution of complex passages
- Excellent low-frequency performance that belies the size of your woofers
- Virtual elimination of irritation or listening fatigue


All Wywires cables share the same design principles of air, cotton and PTFE Teflon dielectrics along with our proprietary Litz wire formulae.

Blue vs Silver – The Blue is a trickle down design that takes the key element of the Silver but utilizes less costly components and a more economical assembly process. Although the conductors in the Blue and Silver are Litz, the actual configuration of Litz wire is different in the two product lines, where Blue uses a much less expensive combination of Litz wire than the Silver. Additional differences include the RCA and XLR connectors along with the outer sheathing. Blue uses Cardas RCA’s and Neutric XLR’s whereas the Silver uses the much more costly Xhadow connectors. The double outer sheathing in the Silver series is also more costly and offers a more luxurious “look and feel” than the single sheathing in the Blue. In sonic terms, both share a common signature discussed above but the silver offers a more refined sound with enhanced soundstage and image precision. How big the differences are really depends on the customer’s system. In a moderate system with a value of less than $10,000, the Blue is an excellent choice and will allow those components to perform at their optimum level. In a very revealing and expensive system, the differences will be more apparent as a more refined and clear representation of the recording with more details and a bigger, more intimate experience.

Silver vs Gold – Gold uses the same Litz wire as the Silver but utilizes Bybee Slipstream (Interconnects, Phono Cables and Digital Cables) and Quantum Purifiers in the Speaker Cables and Juice II Power cords. Additionally, the Gold uses larger diameter PTFE Teflon tubes and Xhadow RCA plugs with a larger diameter barrel. The Gold is easily identified with a black outer sheathing along with a sparkling gold underlayer visible. The Silver on the other hand, is dressed in light grey with a sparkling silver underlayer visible. Sonically, the Gold offers a significant improvement over the Silver in all parameters including detail retrieval, clarity, presence, image focus.


WyWires Silver series was the first line and is the classic line that started the revolution in air dielectric, Litz wire design. The Silver line embodies the Wywires design philosophy of less is more, yielding unprecedented electrical and sonic performance.

WyWires Gold series integrates Bybee Slipstream and Quantum purifiers into the silver cable for even higher levels of performance. The Gold line is based on the Silver but with enhanced insulation along with new larger Xhadow RCA and XLR connectors. Sonic performance of the Gold Series cables is perhaps unrivaled even at many times the asking price.

WyWires Blue series represents a trickle down approach, taking what was learned during the ongoing development of the Silver series of cables and applying that knowledge to offer a more economical product line. The Blue Series offers much of the performance attributes as the Silver albeit in a simplified and less luxurious offering at entry level pricing. Blue Series is superb value.
