can have no enthusiasm at all for anything SCART ... All of these cast body
SCART connectors are a waste of time! The important part of any connector
is the connector portion and in this respect the SCART connector
both sucks and blows (which is its only impressive
feat!) </SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

cut my teeth on BNC and XLR connectors which are superb ... they have
positive locking mechanisms and work beautifully. Each time I look behind
my AV stack at the SCART cables hanging out of the back of my O.D. Box,
TiVo and DVD player - all drooping at about 10degrees below the horizontal
- and I wish there was some way that I could loop a cable tie
through something to pull them
tight.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
