Twisted pairs are effective at reducing interference from magnetic fields. Cable shielding is effective at reducing interference from electric fields. So the lack of twists at the end will increase susceptibility to magnetic fields and the lack of a grounded, metallic connector will increase susceptibility to electric fields.

Thanks Mojo, By mentioning magnetic fields in the same paragraph as electrical fields, it sparked me into finally understanding what you are trying to say. Even though you said the word "electrical" several times, my brain was apparently stuck in magnetic mode. A good demonstration of the danger in being a technical jack of all trades but master of none.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

We're all praying that your wiring is not an issue - many people here would be driven to ripping up the sheetrock if there is any real or *imagined* interference!

Robb, I think I should let you know that electrons in your equipment are constantly being bullied by many different sources. If you want to stop this, you really ought to think about enclosing each and every one of your conductors and components in mu-metal.
