Interesting question!

In Reply to: Interesting write-up. How did you twist the wires together? * posted by PureAudio on January 19, 2007 at 17:29:03:

Well, I took two wires, of different colors red and green, wrapped one end of this stereo set with a small piece of rubber inner tube. I measured out a couple of inches to accomodate bare wire termination and put this end of the set in a vise gently. Bear in mind that I was only making two four foot sets.

I took hold of the other end of each wire, extended my arms out fully and made large circles. When my arms locked, I reached under my right arm with my left arm and grabbed that end again. Made another big circle with my arms, and so on. It worked out to about two twists per inch. I am absolutely sure there is a better way, but I am not manufacturing just prototyping.

I left enough wire at the other end to accomodate the other bare wire termination.

Green and red twisted wire. Looks sort of nice actually. This fairly fine wire stock; so the whole construction looks sort of puny compared to most speaker wires, but it doesn't sound puny at all.

Confused yet?
