You've ordered them though,

Yes, I did.  Active Cables from Nick and PFA & Tiny Box from Jon.

When are you supposed to get them?

I should have the cables by the end of next week.  I ordered my pfa & tiny box on 1/16 so 2/13 will be 4 weeks (typical Nainat turn around). Hopefully I will have the rig all set for the Marco Benevento gigs here in portsmouth, NH on 3/15 & 3/16 should have said Club d'Elf on 2/15 or Kimock at Tupelo Music Hall.

Sweet thanks for the info Ted!

I was asked to upload just the unedited CK-63 > Naiant Actives w/ PFA recording.

So here it is on the Live Music Archive:

So I know that the AKG active solutions are now a reality, however reading through the threads in the market place I am having a really hard time determining what the exact cost is  for a phantom power active set up minus the cost of AKG caps. Any help?

Naiant only offered a limited run and they are all spoken for, I think.

Nick/followingbob cablesare $450 and need a pfa, tinybox or nbox to power them.  Pfa are around $80, tinyboxs are around $240 and I don't know how much an nbox is.

Read Jon's post towards the end of his thread in the Retail Space.  For P48, it's around $220 + shipping.  First two batches are spoken for.  He's taking names for the third run already.

my naiant version are 15 feet (4 feet for undercover with 11 foot extension for open) and with shipping cost $214
I already own a tb and didn't need/want pfa version

My first outing with Following bob and Nick's Active cables.  Half the show with a PFA and the other half with a tiny box.

Cool to hear.   I'm waiting on cables with a TinyBox so it's gonna be a bit longer but can't wait to be running them, either.

From Front to Back on a followingbob wide bar:

AKG ck1x > Custom mk46 GAKable > Naiant PFA in a Custom DIN GAKbar
AKG ck61 > NBob AKG Couplers > Custom GAKable > Naiant PFA in a NOLA DIN Bar
AKG ck61 > Naiant AKG Couplers > Custom GAKable > Naiant PFA in a it-goes-to-eleven DIN Bar

I smell a comp in the near future

Ridiculous but sweet.  Curious if any sound difference and sure all sound great.
