While there's a lot of coax around with poor quality shields, cheap
connectors, and poorly installed connectors, cause FAR more problems. My
rules are to NEVER play cheap with connectors and adapters, to ALWAYS
look first at connectors (and adapters), and to build my own cables when
possible. I've always had a strong suspicion that someone at Elecraft
was playing cheap when the vendor for those cables was chosen.
Poor quality coax shields will show up as excessive coupling of shield
current to the inside of the coax, degrading isolation between antennas
and increasing RX noise.

That's why I say "in most installations, more connectors usually equal
more problems". Mechanical-electro connectors are the weak link in
most all systems.
