more importantly it sounds better than the lemoshizzle

Not to my ears.  Fortunately, there are at least a couple quality stealth boxes for different ears/brains/playback systems.

run them head to head instead of comparing different shows and you will probably sing a different tune

Would love to, I enjoy running direct comps.  Don't know of anyone in Cleveland with an NBox, though.  The comp would reveal the different sonic characteristics, yes, but reasonable people may have different sonic preferences so it's a bit bold IMO to suggest I'll sing a different tune.  A blind comp I ran between the warm-mod-UA5 and V3 revealed about 50% of people preferred the warm-mod UA5 even though the V3 is traditionally considered a superior piece of equipment.

I'll have to try to track down an NBox, would be a lot of fun to run the comp!   Shoot, if you're right, I could sell the Lemosax setup and save a few bucks.  :)

Good input, Boogie - thanks for the feedback.  I'm just getting into the stealth game so this is all good to hear, kinda learning as I go.  Hopefully I can track down a local NBox for some comps, would really like to hear these head to head.

yep, Brian just wanted me to check the same show as him and give some feedback, sounds like we're both on the same page.

Just want to throw out another endorsement for the rbox/nbox.  I have and frequently run an rbox in stealth situations, it doesnt get much better/easier.  

There have been a very few situations where the fixed gain was borderline too low (unamplified jazz @ symphony hall) but, with the sbm1 pretty much maxed out it was always more or less fine.

I can try to dig out a few good recordings with it if yall want em.

you realize of course the wav form is the graphical expression of how it sounds right?

i just mention it as most people have better visual accuity than accoustic..



boogie

yeah I'm fully aware of that fact  ::)

but if I was throwing around $1100 on AUDIO equipment I'd be more concerned with how it SOUNDS than how it looks on paper (see anything ever made by core-sound)

not an endorsement or a knock on the n-box either way. I don't really do enough actual stealth work to warrant a purchase... my fob rig will be ccm4/m148/modsbm-1

I must say I've been very happy with my recent Nbox purchase!  Here's a pic of mine in relation to some other gear:
