While you can run several sets of wire in a twisted pair / weave configuration (ala Kimber, etc), my experience has been with a single + and a single - conductor twisted around each other. It is important that the twists be spaced closely with minimal air space between the two conductors. I have never tried running parralel runs of solid wire, like standard lamp or speaker cord. I have no idea of how this would sound. Evidently, not very good.

Since you already invested in the solid wire, it's time to do some "sperimentin". After all, you've got a long weekend coming up with nothing better to do, right ??? : )~

Break out a low speed drill or cordless screwdriver and stick the two wires into the chuck and tighten them down. You can run the drill at low speed and slowly twist the wires around each other. Take your time. While you will lose some overall length due to the twisting, it is important to keep them tight and evenly spaced. Give this a try and see how it turns out. I'd be interested to see what you think of this. Sean
