What I do is...
Solid to Solid...
No twisting
Stranded to Stranded...
Twist each conductor with my fingers first
Solid to Stranded...
Twist stranded conductor with my fingers first
In my opinion... twisting solids to solids is a bad idea as the twisted conductors will only get a minimum puchase on the threads inside the marrette and the marrette may come off. The process of twisting the marrette on the untwisted conductors actually threads the marrette on to the conductors.
