Actually yes there is The Gold tipped sync cords seem to be more reliable. I believe Paramount Cords carries a selection of them (while you're at it, buy a tip conditioner tool, it'll save a lot of time and headaches in future) :I have a question about sync cables between P65 and 503CW: are they all the same or are some better than others? (e.g. Kapture Group, P1 etc.)
I tried asking at the "other" MF forum but didn't get a helpful reply.
