Can an adapter cable be built so either a KCY or nbox cable could be used? Or does the connector change the internal components that are used? I was thinking that the nbox cable is missing a resistor or something that the KCY has or vice versa

Schweet 40+ hours on the 3 batteries is amazing too! Its purdy. Simple, elegant and I'm sure it sounds great if its like the other nbox p!

I love the 3 connectors and a switch!!

No gimmicks or gadgets just in out power and great sound.

Very easy to use and has a fixed gain of 18. I am sure I will be using the nbox more than the sax.

Because you prefer the sound, or because of the simplicity, or both?? 
Just curious..  I'm considering switching back to the N-side.
Is the fixed +18db standard?..  or did you ask for that?
Thanks.

Fixed gain.

Simple to use, cannot possibly screw up recordings with this preamp.

If I have the Nbob actives/Naiant PFA cables, is there a version that would allow dual XLR in, as well as dual XLR out?

^You don't need the PFA with the Nbox.  The Nbob cable can plug straight into the Nbox.  Just gotta have compatible connectors on cable and box.

What I'm asking is what if I already have the cables w/ PFA? I wouldn't want the PFA's chopped off in case I want to try something else in the future just so I can use the new Nbox.

You just need to insert a splice in the cable. See thread below with pictures.

Again I wouldn't want to alter my current cables in case I want to run straight into the XLR of my deck, or a different preamp.  Since my actives terminate in the Naiant PFA XLR, is there a Y-cable that could attach to the dual PFA XLR's and terminate into something that could go into the Nbox? That way I don't have to permanently alter my cables.

And I want a pony.

The answer is no. You have to insert a splice into your cables. Not sure what the opposition is.

I have a PFA adapter cable for use with my Nbox cables but havent gotten the opportunity to use it yet. I believe I read somewhere here where Jon said the PFA adapters do add to the noise floor so wouldn't splicing the cable be a better option anyway if you wanted to use the Nbox? I love the versatility the PFA adapter cable provides but if I just going to use an Nbox wouldn't you be better off without the PFA in the signal path?
