Been looking for info on twisted pair wiring... Now i get the general idea but not sure about connecting. Do I twist a pair of wires for each channel and connect both wires to one terminal or is it the two cables... positive and ground that i twist as a pair and connect each single end to a terminal.
the latter. twist together a wire and its return path, eg (output & gnd) or (speaker+ & speaker-)
Yes, the flow and return pair get twisted together.
There is an exception.
A dual polarity Power Supply Unit (PSU) has three output leads, +ve, -ve and zero volts.
These three wires must be twisted together as a triplet.

Andrew, yeah, that works great.
I got my wife to plait such cables for me, before eventually figuring out how to do it myself.
And some guys at the Auckland University school of Engineering have published a couple of papers on using traditional Maori weaving techniques to braid many litz cables into wide, flat braid for use in big (100kW+) HF resonant converters for inductive power transfer.

Not plaited, twisted.
The cores run much closer together when twisted and that reduces the inductance.

Andrew, you are quite right. plaiting looks prettier, and makes a nice flat cable. it also holds itself together without cable ties/heatshrink/etc. but the loops are bigger.
