From Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound:
After listening to the MrSpeakers new Ether planar headphones ($1499) with a well-regarded tube headphone amp, I switched to the Leto using the same WyWires Red series cable. The difference in spaciousness, air, and top-end transparency was astonishing. The sound was less between the ears and more convincingly on a dimensional stage at eye level.
From Jim Hannon, The Absolute Sound:
The Red Series had far better clarity, definition, and spaciousness than the stock cable in an A/B demo and sounded much more natural.

From Greg Weaver:
Dropping by the Daedalus Audio/ModWright Instruments/WyWires room was very rewarding…The entire system was wired end to end with WyWires cables. I found myself irresistibly drawn in by the articulate, coherent, and harmonically rich sound it generated.

Fritz/Wywires/Wyred4Sound room – by Mal Kenney, August 18, 2013
“Some of the credit here has to go to Alex Sventitsky’s WyWires for this. He brought his Power Broker to handle the power-strip duties, but he also brought his affordable line of Blue Series cables to match with this overachieving budget system.”
