[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8192541, member: 614752"] The one I've seen that is acceptable is to poke an awl through the center of the wire after it's stripped back so that you have a hold through the center of the strands, poke the wire you're trying to tap in through the hole, then wrap that and tape. That is a very secure connection and perfectly acceptable IMO. If they didn't do it that way, just pull the wire, poke the hole, thread it through, wind it around and tape. That + solder is even better, but just that is plenty solid and should never fail. Hope you can picture what I'm trying to describe.
