Here's an Nbox for sale if you want to buy one. Good price too!

Scooter, did your Nbox come with a pair of Schoeps CMRs?

The Nbox and Rbox use Schoeps KC cable ends (D Satz already explained)
Schoeps CMR's are another type of cable system that runs on lower voltage

Yeah, same point though - the KC contains an FET impedance converter; I gather the CMR acts as a preamp as well.

(I guess I didn't spot the KC ends in the pic of the Rbox.)
 
Anyway, it's a moot point, as there's no way I can afford Schoeps, and already have a nice collection of AKGs. Just trying to figure a way to do a similar thing with my CK61/62 caps...

What is the part number for the pieces on to which you screw the capsules?

Indeed, they are a significant fixed portion of the cost.

The fact that posthorn actually stocks those critical components is why they get my schoeps business.  Jerry has always been a pleasure to deal with.  I believe he offers minor schoeps active repairs and cable length changes on-site (so no delays shipping to Germany), for those who aren't up to the task ;)

Nice looking setup, Kris K. Is that unit still available?

How does it sound?

Cheers

Yup. I had high hopes for that project at one time.

Just got this from Jerry Bruck.  $62 each isn't bad at all. 

Who is the best to talk to about swapping mine out?  I wasn't happy with the condition of the threads on the connectors of the N-Box I recently bought....
