For twisted pair wires for 2 rca cables,
 
Is it
a) Both positives twisted together clockwise, Both negatives twisted together clockwise, then both bundles twisted counter clockwise
or
B) 1 positive + 1 Negative twisted together clockwise X2, both bundles twisted counter clockwise

niggling detail - for least R,L channel crosstalk the 2 pair's twist rate should be mis-matched - so the mutual paths linking both pair's loops don't add constructively  - although any coupling is likely inaudible for domestic room lengths
 
may give lumpier overall look but it is theoretically better electrically
 
phone, instrumentation cable multiple twisted pair bundles are made this way
