XLR cables for component connections, or from preamp to powered subwoofer


I am shopping for my first XLR cables/connectors.  Is it "normal" that conductors within XLR cable are very fine, can be 22AWG ?  That seems so tiny!!  I understand they don't have to be 10 or 12 AWG but...

What are favorites??  I guess I should search again for existing threads but the AWG used in these types of cables still stands...

I prefer to make my own from pure silver and Neutrik with silver contacts.

Yes, it’s fine if the wires are very thin. The cable I’m recommending is very good but can be brittle. Cheap enough you can build a pair and compare to the Mogami/Neutrik Mike is recommending, above.
