console5 composite cables ok?
« on: May 10, 2017, 03:16:58 PM »
Does anyone here have these particular cables?  Are they good to use?  I'm seeing a lot of search results here for bad aftermarket composite cables and want to find a better solution than using my model 1 Genesis cables.

Is using Genesis cables harmful to a Duo-R?

I have never tried that kind but most cheaper cables I've found like that are wired up poorly by not having the ground pin wired. This can be corrected by soldering in your own wire to correct the issue. However, I have a much better quality cable one that I'd be happy to sell you for $12 shipped in the U.S. It has thicker wires and a molded Din socket as compared to the solder on type.
