i have hundereds of pieces.

I'm pretty sure he was referencing Jon's set from the retail thread yesterday.
"This is a common practice we have on the bus; debating facts that we could easily find through printed material. It's like, how far is it today? I think it's four hours, and someone else comes in at 11 hours, and well, then we'll... just... talk about it..." - Jeb Puryear

sort of a hijack, but everyone is talking about AKG so... do the DPA UA0896 fit well over CK 6x caps?

Back to the thread, those collettes looks amazing.

Been reading all of the multiple threads and trying to get things straight. I'm looking to get an AKG caps -> active cable -> Tinybox setup as straightforward as possible.

followinbob does the machining/powder coat of the couplings
schoepsnbox does the install of the electronics and the cabling and handles the sales

... but where are the electronics/PCB coming from? Is it the same Naiant circuitry from this design or somewhere else?
Chuck's comparison: http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=159568.0
Naint's for sale: http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=160205.0

I'm starting from scratch, so I assume I  buy the cables from schoepsnbox with the 6-pin termination and the Tinybox from Naint - do I need to specify anything to Naint other than that I want the 6-pin mini-XLR connector and that it is for the schoepsnbox/followinbob AKG actives?

I want the final product to be just like Schoeps version darktrain posted here, except AKG:
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=160089.0


Photos look great!

I used a borrowed JKLabs DVC AKG setup about a dozen years and really dug it.

From Jon's Post...

Couplings, pair: $108
PFA, 3' lead, pair: $100
extra cable, per foot (each PFA): $2
A stock tinybox with 3' adaptor cable would be $288


Looks like $108 a pair (before PFA and Tiny Box)

To me that looks like $208 per mic. - $416 for a pair of mics. - with a 3' cable.
