TONEARM REWIREE - DUMB QUESTION

I am thiking about re-wiring an arm myself from cartridge tags to phono plugs.

My questions are:

1. after exiting the arm does one solder a heavier gauge of cable to beef up the smaller cable

2. does one simply shield the cable on exiting the arm

3. any wire recommendations other than cardas which i understand are quite stiff

It's copper. i am not pro-copper/pro-silver - I am wondering if the gauge is too small to run to the RCA plugs.
