Recommendations for Male/Male SCART Cables?

Post by Tempest_2084 »

Does anyone have a place to get some good Male/Male SCART cables that are properly shielded and don't cost $45+ each? I'm currently using some cheapo ones from Ebay ($5 each) and while they work well enough, they have audio buzz on white and bright screens which is distracting. It seems like no one makes a short Male/Male cable at a decent price. Normally I get my stuff from Insurrection, but they don't seem to make a cable like this. In case anyone is wondering I'm using these to connect my scart switches to my Shinybow.

Someone suggested this KabelDirect one from Amazon but I've seen differing opinions as to its quality and if it's shielded or not: https://www.amazon.com/KabelDirekt-Mult ... LZXE/?th=1

JVC or other name branded ones (Sony et al), just search the brand and “SCART” on eBay and set the search results to worldwide

Also, flat ribbon-style cables are *always* good - it separates the channels nicely

Huh, Interesting.

I ended up going with those KableDirect ones, we'll see if they're any good. If not, I'll return them and look into these flat ones.

I got the Kabel Direkt cables today and there's no buzz whatsoever. They appear to be good quality cables with nice connectors. I'm happy with the quality.

I'd like to recommend a male-male SCART coupler reasonably priced by a reputable seller but unfortunately they seem to be sold out at the moment. Perhaps in a few weeks they'll restock.
