RE: Anybody have any experience with Furutech FT-111 RCA's?

Not laughable at all, bcowen. It makes perfect sense from a minimal-mass POV. Your twist pattern looks to be very good, but might not provide the best noise cancellation properties since the two opposing wires are not mirror image. However, the cable might sound very good, since there are no hard rules about DIY experiments. If you have some PTFE heat shrink that's handy, I would choose to use it as a DIY cable jacket to provide a level of cable resonance control and to keep the twisted pair from loosening over time, which is important.
