Core Sound 7 pins?
geoff piper:
Just making sure here, but arent Core sound 7 pin cables bad or are they ok?
danmorgan:
I'd suggest staying away from the CS 7-pin. Not a true Sony 7-pin like most others out there. Pins are way too long and fat, and easily bent(no protection).
Get one from the Oade's or from pro-digital.

That was my idea but there is a guy selling a d8 with a sony 7 pin and core sound 7 pin for 380... So i was wondering if they were ok to go for
twoodruff:
that deck is sold ;). I figure CS 7 pins are ok to use at home, but NEVER in the field
wboswell:
I'll second that. A friend was in a pinch so we ordered a second hand Core Sound 7 pin. He got the cable yesterday and called me to describe what a piece of crap it is. He said that pretty much any movement of the cable made the rec. unit loose its signal. I guess, for home transfers, the cable would be ok, but for field use---avoid!
For what its worth, it was a back up cable and he only paid $23 for it. Not a waste of money, but definately not reliable.
