Steve, the distortion appears to be in the wire. Today, I also put a new teflon coated linear crystal 18ga wire from input to output and got a significant amount of distortion.
The connectors in the Radio Shack are nothing perfect, but they are not very magnetic, and they are clean and tight. Also the center wire is SOLDERED to the connector. What else could you want? Of course, I have other cables with somewhat more expensive RCA connectors that measure better, and even some expensive cables with expensive RCA connectors that have significant distortion. The point is that the cables are self consistent and repeatable, but the connector quality in general does not seem to make much difference, since I can get significant distortion with NO RCA connectors at all.
This is an interesting test, too bad you don't try it.
