new problem for me:
I run mics > Oade m148, XLR out > XLR>mini 1/8" stereo cable (Right angle Swithcraft) > PCM D50, line in
I occasionally get small bursts of static in one channel if my D50 gets bumped or moved at all. Normally this isn't a problem since my gear sits in a bag on the floor. Lately when stealthing and having the D50 in my pocket, my recorder moves a little bit and I get static. I'm using a right angle Switchcraft 1/8" stereo connector and it never really seemed to fit right, but always worked as long as everything stays still. Before the Switchcraft right angle plug I had a Neutrik, and it fit even looser, to the point of popping out sometimes if moved at all.
For a while there I was stealthing with a Sonosax that had a mini out and I just used a cheap mini > mini cable from Radio Shack and never had a problem with moving the D50 around to check levels. I guess my question is: Has anyone found a really good, reliable mini 1/8" stereo plug? I need something that I don't have to worry about. Any suggestions? It doesn't have to be right angle, just something that definitely works and fits snug.
