Actually, I'm the one that won this auction. I never heard about the nbox because I'm not so hip in the 'taping' scene. I do 'field' work, mainly in other countries.
The other night I went out a recorded a show and someone told me about the nbox so I came here to learn more about it.
Seems like a good deal, but considering I got 2 caps, the active cables, the vst, a 5-pin extension and the rycote suspension all used, I'm glad I went this route.
I guess the nbox comes in handy when someone needs power but the 722 has phantom, so, I could just throw the vst in the bag (takes up almost no space and only uses one cable), and no batteries!
