Wireworld Cable Solstice 10 phono cable DIN - 2x XLR

WireWorld Solstice 10 – Tonearm cable for detail-oriented vinyl lovers

Not every cable needs to trigger a fundamental discussion about sound philosophies. Sometimes a solid, well-designed product that simply works is enough – reliably and with audible effect. This is precisely where the WireWorld Solstice 10 tonearm cable comes in. It features a well-thought-out construction that is specifically tailored to the needs of vinyl listeners without going overboard.

This model is aimed at anyone who values quality in the connection between tonearm and phono input, but doesn't want to venture into unrealistic price territory. The Solstice 10 combines high-quality materials with a practical design – and offers several connection options.

Practical diversity with a clear focus

WireWorld offers the Solstice 10 tonearm cable in various versions for different setups. Whether it's a classic DIN to 2x RCA connection , a balanced DIN to 2x XLR connection , or a direct 2x RCA plus ground cable – the flexibility is guaranteed. This allows the cable to be easily integrated into a wide variety of systems, regardless of whether you work with a classic SME connection or prefer modern balanced connections.

The focus here isn't on exotic solutions, but on proven technology with impeccable workmanship. The contacts are carefully gold-plated, which prevents corrosion and maintains high conductivity. Furthermore, the appropriate strain relief ensures a long-lasting connection, especially with the typically sensitive DIN socket on the tonearm.

A crucial detail lies inside the cable. WireWorld uses the company's proprietary Tri DNA Helix™ geometry , a structured conductor design designed to specifically reduce signal interference. This is combined with Composilex 5 insulation . This plastic was specifically developed to minimize electrical interference within the cable while dampening mechanical resonances.

The conductor material also deserves attention. Instead of relying on exotic alloys, WireWorld uses silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) – a solid choice when it comes to clean signal transmission with a slight emphasis on clarity in the upper frequency range. Especially in the phono range, where the smallest voltages are crucial, such differences certainly make an audible impression.

Without much noise, the Solstice 10 delivers a clean, uncluttered presentation that pushes background noise into the background. Bass reproduction remains precise, vocals retain their natural character, and the overall soundstage is pleasantly cohesive—not overly analytical, but significantly more nuanced than with a standard cable.

Another plus: The workmanship is consistently of a high standard. The cable isn't unnecessarily stiff, is easy to install, and appears robust overall. So, anyone looking for a well-designed tonearm cable with reliable sound characteristics will find a product here that does its job with quiet ease.
