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 Platinum series interconnects their top pick in the under $2000.00 cable category. Platinum has replaced the Gold series and is a nice step up for less money.
Here is a user email feedback on the entry level Blue speaker cables:
Walter, I want to thank you for your communications, and for having such a good ear and picking out such great product lines. I was really expecting very little with my "starter" cables from Wywires. After all, they're being hooked up to the Elac UF5 speakers that you sell, through a crummy AV pre/pro and an Emotiva amp. But whoa. Not only was there no overhang to the notes, but they took care of the electronic "chunkiness" I had on lead transients, and cleared up the soundfield. Bass was laughably better. I have tried several times to listen to music on my system, but kept looking at my watch. Now I can listen through. It's true that this is not my old "audiophile" system, hooking up Emerald Physics speakers with a great pre/DAC and nice Rogue amps, but at least it can be listened to. How a pair of "skinny" wires can do that, I don't know. I only wish I'd bought a third cable for my center channel!
Aloha, and thanks again, Walter. Just a great experience.

Headphone cables
Platinum From $599.00
RED From $349.00
Platinum formula headphone cable highlights:
Upgraded benefits of the foundation RED formula, with greatly reduced inductance, resulting in higher resolution and better transient response. The Platinum cable has a proprietary carbon/graphine compound to absorb and dissipate high frequency electromagnetic interference, housed in a small protective tube.
WyWires RED series is only entry level in price. It was the first series for the personal listening market, including headphones cables and extension cables. RED cables are compatible with a variety of headphone and amplifier options. We designed a new Litz wire formula and cable to be flexible, lightweight, durable and non-microphonic. RED is also our thinnest cable line to date, in keeping with our less-is-more philosophy. RED is identified by red body, with white pigtails that connect to the headphone. Red starts at $349.00 for a 5 foot pair. Here is a user quote from a customer who is also a reviewer:
Hey Walter, You need to push these WyWire cables harder. I got 75 hours on these things right now, but out of the box the difference was immediate and intense. I honestly question why Audeze evens bothers including their own cable. They should just recommend this thing. At 0 hours there was an immediate sense of air and greater bass. At 75 hours, the midrange is liquid, the bass is violently powerful and taught, and the highs sparkle. I actually feel the midrange right now. There is literally a tactile sensation with each pluck of this Spanish guitar. It's amazing.
Quite frankly WyWires is the best cable upgrade I have ever made. I plan on outfitting my entire system with this stuff.
If this is budget level sound, you can probably only legally sell the platinum grade pipes in Colorado or California.
I was honestly hesitant to spend a few hundred on cables without first listening, but as usual, you had the right answers that gave me the best result. Seriously, thank you. It's pretty refreshing to have a dealer on which you can rely.
Thanks for the excellent recommendation. I'm a WyWires fan for life.
Regards, Mike
Interconnects from $799.00
Speaker cable from $1199.00
Power cords from $499.00
Juice II Digital Power Cord – For all digital devices; DAC’s CD players, music servers. Changes in shielding and ground architecture, along with the addition of carbon-infused foam, result in improved resolution, a tidier, more organized soundstage, stereo imaging stability and better bass tones. $499
WyWires Silver series is the classic line that started the revolution in air dielectric, Litz wire design. The Silver line embodies our design philosophy of ”less is more,” yielding unprecedented electrical and sonic performance. Identified by gray/silver outer sheathing.
Blue
Interconnects from $299.00
Speaker cable from $549.00
Power Cords from $329.00
WyWires Blue series represents a “trickle down” approach, taking what we have 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. Identified by royal blue label and black sheathing.
Platinum
Interconnects from $1799.00
Speaker cables from $2999.00
Power Cords from $999.00
Platinumn amed 2016 Editors Choice in Positive Feedback for Interconnect, speaker cable & power cords
Platinum, that replaces Gold, is a recently-developed series that takes most of the elements of the Silver and adds additional conductor material of varying gauges of Litz wire to accomplish the goals of higher bandwidth and greater frequency extension especially at the low end of the spectrum with increased dynamic range and “slam”. In addition, the Platinum adds greater dimensional information along with more separation of instruments and performers within the soundstage. Identified by brilliant white outer sheathing/sparkling silver underlayer.
Here are the Platinum advantages over Silver:
1) Platinum offer better resolution from bass thru treble
2) Platinum has better separation & deliniation of instruments and performers
3) Soundstage is wider and deeper
4) Better micro & macro dynamics especially with large scale classical
5) Greater frequency extension in the bass and treble
6) Mush lower noise for blacker backgrounds & a more vivid presentation
7) More emotion is presented especially in vocals
Diamond
Interconnects from $4495.00
Speaker cables from $7995.00
Positive Feedback summed on the Diamond phono cables:
"WyWires Diamonds are forever in my system. Expensive, rather, but actually custom made to your needs. You buy exactly precisely what you need from the inventor and music lover, personally. You can also spend a lot more and get less if you stay with only national brands and pay for their advertising. I know of cables at $10,000 per meter ($9999) that I wish I had, though I am truly not sure I would like them better than the Diamonds. The WyWires Diamonds, phono cables and interconnects are that crazy good!"

In the audiobeatnik review they said the following:
"I will soon be writing a “Milestones” post about cables, but let me share here quickly my priorities for cables. In short, I have learned that power cables are the most important cables in a system, especially in a digital system. So while the WyWires Diamond power cables are a big step up in price from their Platinum power cables, I would make this investment before upgrading any other cables in my system."
Diamond is the newest cable in the lineup (October 2014). Diamond is a brand new design, taking all that They have learned to create a new concept in Litz wire air dielectric design. Diamond cables contain a complex combination of different conductor and dielectric materials, optimized to provide a neutral and well-balanced tone, along with detail retrieval that goes beyond what we’ve been able to do in the past. Additionally, They have been able to achieve a superior level of transparency and dynamics for the ultimate music enjoyment experience. Identified by purple label and a bluish-silver sheen.
