I'm starting on my Vacuum Tube Audio PH16 today. I was told by Roy that he includes wire and cable with the kit, but he DIDN'T. Which gauge should I be using? On my Bugle, I used 24 awg CAT5 individual pairs for the signal path, and I think 18 awg for the leads coming in from the seperate power supply. I'm referencing John Elison's PH16 photo and i'm trying to guess at the size of the red and green twisted pairs. Should I use stranded or solid, or doesn't it matter? Having trouble sourcing smaller gauge wire from the local hardwares store.
