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?

@ozzy if by matter do you mean, does it affect the sound of the cable? Yes, it most certainly does.

@ozzy everything matters, including things we don’t know how to control, or even check for.

Ted, do you need any Mad Scientists? I am available...
 

@ozzy as a matter of fact, I have something brand new I’d like you to hear. Not on the market yet.

@ozzy I don’t know how to send you a PM as I don’t see a link on your profile. Reach out to me through Facebook, and we can go from there.
