Wireworld Series 10 cables

Wireworld is heading to Maryland. The Florida-based cable specialist will be at Capital Audiofest 2026 this weekend, from November 13 to 15 at the Hilton Rockville. Visitors will find Wireworld at Capital Audiofest in its own room, and its cables will also be connecting systems in five other rooms around the show.

For Wireworld, Capital Audiofest is “one of our favorite events in the audio industry”. The company describes it as a show that is large enough to attract respected brands from around the world, yet small enough for meaningful conversations with industry experts.

  • Wireworld at Capital Audiofest: Room 728
  • Wireworld cables in five more rooms
  • New: Chroma 8 USB 2.0 with USB-C
  • More than a show for Wireworld at Capital Audiofest
  • Pricing and availability
  • Key specifications

Wireworld at Capital Audiofest: Room 728

Wireworld will be represented by founder David Salz and Larry Smith. You can find them in Room 728, where they will be happy to talk about cable design and the brand’s latest products.

David Salz is the engineer behind Wireworld’s cable designs, so a visit to the room is a rare chance to ask your questions directly to the person who developed them.

Wireworld cables in five more rooms

Visitors looking for Wireworld at Capital Audiofest will also find the brand’s cables in other systems at the show. Wireworld products will be on display with:

  • Audio Thesis – Room 321
  • Cambridge Audio – Room 605
  • Command Performance – Room 305
  • DC Hi-Fi Group – Room 706
  • Lone Mountain Audio – Room 851

That makes six rooms in total where you can hear Wireworld at Capital Audiofest, which says a lot about how widely the cables are used by other brands and dealers.

New: Chroma 8 USB 2.0 with USB-C

In the same newsletter, Wireworld introduces two new plug configurations for its Chroma 8 USB 2.0 cable: A to C and C to C. A to C connects a computer to a USB-C DAC, for example, while C to C links a streamer or computer to a USB-C equipped DAC. Wireworld calls it “the biggest bang-for-the-buck” for USB 2.0 applications. Read more in our article on the Wireworld Chroma 8 USB 2.0 with USB-C.

More than a show for Wireworld at Capital Audiofest

Capital Audiofest offers more than listening rooms. There is a busy marketplace, “a dream for vinyl lovers” according to Wireworld, plus seminars, demonstrations, live music after the show closes and after-hours listening parties. Wireworld is not the only brand making a big effort this year: SVS will also have its biggest Capital Audiofest presence ever, and Nordost uses the show to present its new Norse 3 cables.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
