I'm not an engineer but have tons of workaday experience, and have to
agree. A fraction of an ohm reistance on the shield connection can
allow hum to creep in if there is an alternate ground route elsewhere
that can put even a few microvolts of hum signal across the
plug/socket connection. Also rectification can occur at the point of
an aluminum-aluminum, and especially aluminum-Tin, connection, causing
local radio to be demodulated and producing a "few microvolts" of
voice and music. One of the connectors being Gold tends to eliminate
the likelihood of rectification.
