I think there are two issues here:
1. How best to transport gear to and from the venue in such a way that (a) everything arrives safely and in goof working condition, and (b) that set-up and take-down can happen as quickly as possible.
2. How best to store gear when not in use such that it retains its functionality and value.
I store my schoeps caps in their vials. Foam disintegrates, and schoeps makes a perfect solution for the storing of caps. Additionally, the kcy cable comes with protectors for the collette ends.
However, the day before the show, I connect the capsules, hook everything up, make sure it works and then pack the bag like Bean does.
At the show the clamp goes on the stand, the mic caplues (connected to the kcy) go on the clamp, and I press record.
After the show, the whole mic array goes in to the bag.
When I get home, (as long as there is no show the next night) everything gets put away in its prober place for storage.
