I have read a bit, and some of it seems to contradict, so weighing primary vs secondary and tertiary factors becomes a guessing game.
Read up on Litz braiding and you will learn much, specifically away from the audio field. I have a messy spider in the back of my system so RFI/EMI was high on my list of priorities. I also took heed of warnings of mechanical issues and used a full length run of super tight heat shrink to hold it all very tightly together.
This technique is time intensive, and without a dedicated machine to weave the wire it would not be commercially viable. It is also tailored to lighter gauge wire. To pull it off with a heavier gauge just takes a long jig and careful, slow work.
The research stated related to the weave I used stated somewhere around an 80% reduction in EMI/RFI vs. twisted pair. Whether I am achieving this in my implementation is open to debate.
