RE: Really Victor? I didn't know that..

Using 10ga wiring make a twisted pair of the needed length. Take another 10ga wire for the ground and twist it in the other direction with half the twists per foot of the first pair.

Yes I have heard that works quite well. Bill Whitlock shows test results where the hot and neutral conductors are twisted together. (See page 35 of PDF Link below. (The twisted together hot and neutral conductors gave the best results.)

I should also mention Sean a member of Agon and AA was recommending twisting the hot and neutral conductors together in posts back in the early 2000s.

As for meeting NEC not sure it would. Not sure if the wires could be pre twisted together before installing in a conduit. The pre twisting together of building wire to then be installed in a conduit would have to be approved by the wire manufacture and then Listed by UL or a recognized testing laboratory. It would also need to be look at as to how it affects conduit fill.

Is it safe to do so for powering audio equipment? Jmo I would not find a problem with it. Connected loads are usually quite low so over heating of conductor insulation due to current flow through the conductors would not be an issue.
