Good points, Kurt. It's just that I think that the 'real' advantage of twisted pairs are often misunderstood. We see them everywhere... like so many other people I rip apart cat5 for the individual wires. In fact, there is very little shielding action going on when you twist a ground wire around a signal wire ...I do want to make one comment:
"You could also, if it weren't for the static electricity problem, take the single-ended phono output (not differential) and feed it to the single-ended primary of a step-up transformer, all floating in the air, and not get the kind of hum you'd get if you ran two wires untwisted."
Ideally, a transformer is a differential device provided you don't ground one end of the primary (interwinding capacitance ruins that to some degree.) So, if you're talking about taking the output of a cartridge (which is balanced, not SE, BTW) then you're making my argument for me. Thanks. :)
