Internal wiring
I am planning to unite the 'contents' of a power supply box and a valve amplifier box into a single box so there will be some need to renew/extend the internal wiring.
What wire do I use and because of the need for a number of colours where can I buy a handy package of perhaps 3m lengths of a variety of colours?

Never thought to look under automotive wires.Originally Posted by struth
Is it normal to use solid core or multi strand in an amplifier?
Good, but shorter lengths would be better as I only plan to do this one job.

Think either would do. Maybe pop into maplins or look online. They used to do cabling

Will any of these wires be carrying B+?
Be mindful of voltages, and ensure it's suitable for the task.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

I'd use good quality mains two core + earth solid core cable. Just strip out the black wire and mark each end with a short bit of sleeving to colour code. Packs of short length multi-coloured heat shrink sleeving are available. Cheap solution. Buy in B&Q.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Good tip, I have lots of mains lighting cable and shrink wrap stuff.

There you go. Sorted, cheap.
I did one of my old Leak Stereo 20 amps with that years ago.
