@ozzy I should've explain better in my last paragraph, that gauge 18 would be even fine even for the speaker cable, while for ICs it doesn't make any difference. Gauge of IC wire should be thick enough for easy handling. That's perhaps why Acoustic Zen selected AWG 20. Capacitance is directly proportional to dielectric constant. Selecting Teflon (k=2) instead of PVC (k=4) lowers capacitance by factor of two. Using oversized tubes reduces it even more.
Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects?
I am thinking of trying my hand on building some DIY interconnects. It will be balanced (XLR) and 10 feet long. I have seen interconnects made with thin 30 gauge wire, is there an advantage using super thin gauge wire?
I was thinking of using 20 gauge but is that too thick for interconnects?
