In practice, it turns out the actual twist rate isn't critical. When I'm twisting by hand in random hotel rooms, I shoot for at least a couple turns per inch. But, a "pro tip", clamping one end of the two conductors, then putting the other end in a cordless variable speed drill's chuck is a slick way to get nice even twisting and more twists per inch. I'll do a few feet this way, then cut suitable lengths for each of the things I need as I build an av-bay. Oh, and since people ask, I like 22 AWG stranded with PVC insulation when wiring up my ebays. Your mileage may vary... Bdale
