The electrons traveling up the signal wire go back down the return (negative) wire, so you should have the same capacity going in both directions, eg, 4 wires. In reality though, almost any cable is thick enough for the 1 or 2 volts in an ipod signal cable. Plenty of spare capacity with 3 wires.
4 may sound different, but looks cool and makes a stronger cable. If 4 is good, 16 is great!
I make cables too BTW.
