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...

128x128hz79hc

IF your equipment utilizes the official balanced wiring scheme (AES47), balanced cables should exhibit little coloration, so there shouldn't be much difference between brands.

I got some inexpensive cables from Ralph Karsten. I think they were Mogami. I needed 25 feet or so.

Years later, I tried some Audioquest- at a much higher cost, only to find they sounded almost identical.

YMMV
