- stranded wire is MUCH easier to solder
- stranded wire will take 10X the movement that solid wire will. Solid wire 
is for fixed installations (like in the walls of your house).
- it's not a good idea to twist solid wire. Twisted wires have a lot less 
interference pick-up that individual solid wires
