Replacment Ground Cable for Turntable / Tune-Up, [moved from Audio Hardware] Options

[mccarthyk]

I recently purchased a Technics turntable on eBay. It is in working condition and sounds really good, but the stock cables are really old and feel like they are going to just fall apart.

I was wondering - for the ground wire - if it matters what awg wire I use. I think the one that is on the player now is about 24awg or so. Should I replace it with the same awg wire, or is it ok if I use some 14awg wire I have laying around.
