Wireworld Cable Micro Platinum Eclipse 10 phono cable DIN - 2x RCA

WireWorld Micro Platinum Eclipse 10 – Signal transmission at a high level

In the signal path between the cartridge and the phono preamplifier, the interconnect cable plays a crucial role. Especially at very fine levels—typical of moving coil systems—low-interference transmission and well-matched capacitance are essential. This is where the WireWorld Micro Platinum Eclipse 10 phono cable comes in. It was developed for users who prefer a stable, technically clean connection—without any unnecessary gimmicks.

This model sits at the top of the tonearm cable hierarchy within the WireWorld series. The focus is on transmitting analog music signals with as little loss as possible, without altering the character of the source. Not spectacular, but functionally well-thought-out – that's the direction we're going for.

Structure and materials – reduced to the essentials

The basis here is also the Tri DNA Helix design with three symmetrical conductor groups. Each of these groups consists of 13 individual wires with a cross-section of 26 AWG, corresponding to a cross-section of 0.13 mm². This design pursues a clear goal: uniform signal routing with minimal resistance and high installation flexibility.

A striking detail is the use of OCC-7N solid silver as the conductor material. This is ultra-pure monocrystalline silver with a purity of 99.99999%. This material was chosen not for a specific sound profile, but because of its extremely high conductivity. Whether this difference is clearly audible in everyday use ultimately depends on the overall system – but technically, there are many advantages to this solution.

Three variants for maximum connection freedom

In practice, compatibility often determines the use of a tonearm cable. The WireWorld Micro Platinum Eclipse 10 offers three common configurations:

DIN to 2x RCA

DIN to 2x XLR

2x RCA + Ground

This allows for flexible connection of both traditional and symmetrical systems. Even older drives with DIN connectors can be seamlessly integrated into modern systems. The separate ground cable also ensures stable grounding – important for preventing hum or noise.

Plug and insulation – solid, not overloaded

WireWorld uses a carbon housing with so-called silver tube contacts for the connectors. The shape is functional, handling is simple, and the connection is stable. Even with frequent reconnection, everything stays neatly in place. This isn't just for show, but rather a practical solution that doesn't attract negative attention during use—and that's essentially a quality feature.

The insulation is made of Composilex 5, a material specially developed to suppress electromagnetic interference. At the same time, the cable remains flexible enough for tight setups. Anyone who has ever had to run a stiff cable behind a turntable will appreciate this point.

Clear claim – no effects, no show

The WireWorld Micro Platinum Eclipse 10 phono cable isn't aimed at listeners seeking dramatic changes in the soundstage. It's designed for those who want to complement an already finely tuned system with a high-quality interconnect cable. In well-designed setups, it won't dominate, but rather transmit the existing potential stably and reliably. The high build quality, sophisticated design, and connectivity speak for themselves – without any fuss.
