The PA2V2 Appreciation Thread - Page 35

Hey! what kind of setup do you use? I only seem to have that problem when I connect the PA2V2 to my ipod, not through the audio jack, but the special ipod jack thing. Ive switched back to connecting it to my ipod's audio jack but I really prefer the sound from the special ipod jack...

Proud owner for three years!

thanks a lot! I'll see what's going on

Good luck! Just got an email reply from Gary that he received my amp a few days ago, fixed it and already sent it back! Can't wait to get it back as I do miss not being able to use it.

The site is up and running here. Try again later, might have to do with your ISP.

Ordered one on Friday, can't wait to give it a workout!

hey, all of you with the hissing problems, i heard that putting 2xAA rechargeable batteries in the amp should fix it

You are _only_ supposed to use rechargeable batteries with the PA2V2.  Period.  :)

Hi there.

Indeed Gary is one of the coolest guys i ever dealt with. I had some trouble with the reception of the amp too (waited for around 4 weeks). Then i send a mail to Gary and he said he would just send  another one. The second one arrived in about a week but i never received the first one. His customer care should be a model to some companies.

I would like to know why we are supposed to use the PA2V2 with rechargeable batteries? Classic ones don't cut it? Using AC to DC converter spoils the sound?

Im just curious because i only use it with rechargeable batteries and not the AC adapter (compatibility with europe) 

MLTR, here's why rechargeables are best..

You should have read the instructions on Gary's site, he explicitely says that it's rechargeable batteries that are to be used. Alkaline batteries have higher voltages that just aren't suited for the amp. So the solution is simple, put a pair of rechargeables and you'll be all set. It's a night and day difference.

Required voltage = 2.4 V (or 2x 1.2 V)

Alkaline/"regular" AA battery voltage = 1.5 V per battery

completely agree with you,i received finally my Pav some weeks ago;unfortunately (cause i live in the otherside of americas) i had to wait 2 months ,and almost sure that my pack was lost, gary told me he would send me another delivery or he would send me the money back,fortunately did not needed.nice customer service btw,it pairs well with a sansa zip,especially when i need a more powerful energy for my dt990 250.
