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 deck is sold  ;). I figure CS 7 pins are ok to use at home, but NEVER in the field

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.

geoff, keep lookin...ebay always seems to have d7s and d8s on there.  i picked up a used d3 wth (supposedly) low hours + the coax/optical i/o box (rmr-d3) and ac adapter for under $300.  i had to build a battery pack and find a used oade active cable ($100) for field use as the rmr-d3 is only ac powered, but the deck is in near mint shape and so far has recorded and played quite well for me.

the core sound cables are pure dodo, easy to break the pins, and that is if they don't stretch out the 7 pin whole rendering it useless for the good cables. You get what you pay for people, you get what you pay for.
