Re: In a grounded metal chassis, no shielding is needed for TWISTED pair.

The way I understand it, twisting a ground wire around a signal wire results in very little shielding. Now if you try it and find that it produces some subjective benefit in some particular application, that's OK with me, but I would not expect twisting ground and signal wires to result in any significant reduction in noise/hum pickup.

As I have said here before, twisted pairs are of great benefit in a balanced system feeding a differential input. A simple input transformer constitutes a differential input provided neither end of the primary is grounded.
