As for my "troubles", I beginning to think that these had nothing to do with
the EC2 wiring. I think what happened to me was a combination of lack of
expertise and being in South Florida. I followed Bob Nuckoll's teachings and
used crimp connections. The crimps (at least when done by me) allow humid
air to get in the ends. My wiring worked fine 2 years ago when I installed
it. Two years of humid salt air and a bit of vibration has gradually
degraded important connections and created nasty gizmo eating ground loops.
I'm now working to clean up the connections with heat-shrink soldered joins
and double heat-shrinked soldered crimps to fast-ons etc. etc. I'm working
"top-down", as Tracy puts it, going after the high current circuits first,
testing the resistance under load as I go, and making sure the connections
are air-tight.

You live and learn. :)
