Hi Guys
When you twist wire, the free ends of each wire are cork-screwing, meaning they are rotating as they revolve around the axis of the twist. This relieves the stress within each wire.
In production environments where a lot of twisted wire is need, there will be two fixtures with a few drill chicks on them arranged in a circle. One fixture will be fixed to a table. The other fixture has a shaft that fits into a drill. The mobile end is round and the drill chucks can spin on their mounts.
Each wire is cut precisely and clamped into the fixed end and into the mobile end. The mobile end is chucked into a variable-speed drill. The operator begins slowly and will have to move slowly towards the fixed end as the twisted wire bundle will be shorter than the wires that make it.
For wiring an amp, the methods described previously are all that is needed and there is no reason not to hook the wire ends in the solder lugs of the sockets. For the amount of twisted wire that is in an amp there is no need to use a drill to do it - just do it by hand and get used to how it works and it becomes much easier when you let the free end be free.
What makes it very easy to assemble is to tin each wire end before inserting it.
There is an analogy between twisting wire and Power Scaling:
You can twist wires many ways and end up with twisted wires, but only if the ends are allowed to corkscrew do you have perfect twisting. Similarly, there are many ways to reduce power or loudness but only one method achieves the desired goal of Power Scaling where the tone remains the same.
