[sdiy] Thanks and one more wire question: 22 gauge v. 24 gauge

[David Ingebretsen]

Thanks to all for the advice on ground wires and shielding. 

One more question, is there an advantage to using 22 gauge versus 24 gauge?
The 24 gauge is rated 60 volts, 4.3 amps, and I have a boat load of 24 gauge
hook-up wire I'd like to use. And, it is easier to work with especially in
densely populated panels. However, in a kit I am building, the instructions
say to use 22 gauge wire to hook up the jacks/pots. Why?
