It has the same twist as the EHS I already own - but I 
couldn't say right from left WRT twist.  Does "left-
hand twist" mean the strands twist to the left (CCW) 
as I look into the end of the cable or twist left as 
they run down the cable away from me?  I'd look at my stuff but it's dark 
outside and I'm really tired right now. :)

That it is...

Tnx,
