hum may be a problem with litz or solid if you run 4 foot long ...and solid core will almost certanly break as has been said
a copper braid from the botom of the tone arm over the externals -- may help protect and shield the external wires
the sound the 2 wire types offer is slightly differant...and you may want to try both ...solid silver wire is the best i have heard ...but its not as flexable as the stranded types ...so it depends a lot on the tone arm what is the best internal wire to use
28-33ga or 0.25-0.75mm of wire is approx correct thickness
the thinner wires are much harder to solder

Hmm,
good litz wire is not cheap. Lots of people make a voodoo cult around some...
You might get 95% of best performance with solid core laquered copper wire, but don't use thinner than 0.01mm with MC-carts.
A lot better than original wire in my sme3009/2.
Make it as short as possible, and go balanced if you (that means your phono pre) can.
try, it's cheap and much more than worth it!

tinning litz wire
I hope Litz wire isn't made with other than solderable film insulation because otherwise I don't know how you'd strip it.
I used to use a solder pot when I had access, or a hot enough iron, with poly-nylon film. Poor dielectric, but that's what was available where I worked and it was easily solderable.
