In Reply to: RE: Wire size for audio out posted by acass on January 06, 2015 at 21:08:59
per the attached wire information:
http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm
number 20 wire can carry 11 amps "within a chassis" and "transmit" 1.5 amps. Should be fine for audio work.

When Ben Jacoby rebuilt a VTL preamp for me he used very fine hookup wire and it sounds great. I've always used fairly heavy wire, but I guess those electrons are pretty small, and there may be advantages to small wire for low amperage applications.

On the 717 or almost any pre amp level output, the is almost no current flow, so a large gauge wire is not needed.
For sound quality try using some Mogami console wire model 2977. It will be much better than the stock wire.
