Yeah, I found I had to turn the batteries around a little bit to get good contact, but now they are fine. I've heard people putting a peice of cardboard in above the batteries to create a tight fit in there. I will do that if I have any more problems, but i've been for a run with the amp & some...

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah last night I just opened it up & gave the batteries a bit of a turn each and the light came on... The batteries were fully charged when I put them in, which is why I didn't go to much effort to check them when I realised it didn't sound right. Anyway all fixed...

^^^ haha, feel free to laugh.. with me... anyway if it gets working tonight i'm sure i'll have a laugh also. I'll also post back tomorrow & let you guys know how it goes, as i really don't want to put anyone off this amp when it was due to me causing the problem. Anyway fingers crossed...

Thanks, i'm at work now but i'll try different batteries when I get home tonight which by the sounds of it will fix my problem. I don't know what is dumber Running it without power & not realising. Or sitting there LISTENING to it without power, and trying to make myself appreciate the...

Maybe someone could try running their amp the same as normal just without batteries & see if they get the same effect as me? I would have throught you'd get no sound at all if their was no power, but anyway.

^^^ I guess that would perhaps make a little sense. As it honestly sounds like the sound coming from my source is just going through a bunch of components that are stripping it of all it's volume & leaving me with whats left. Which actually is a nice sound, but just damn near impossible to...

On one other thing, when I flick the switch left & right it does not turn anything on or off. I do not have this amplifier plugged in as yet. i'm only running of batteries. Does this switch only come into play when the amplifier is plugged into a power source? (I'm thinking perhaps amplifier...

Hi guys, Well been playing around with my new PA2V2 for a few days ago, and can't seem to figure out why when plugged into every source I have in my house, the volume drops dramatically. I have computer, mp3, dvd, mini hi-fi system, & a marantz receiver my brother owns. All of which I...

Quote: Originally Posted by parrot5 I found that the imbalance is the case for many cheap electronics like mp3 players, especially ones with analog volume control, at low volume even without the PA2V2. So the PA2V2 might not be at fault here. Although I'm not ruling out the possiblity...

ooooooh car audio, my speciality. Unfortunately my persuit of hi-fi began in the car audio environment & cost me a LOT of $$$. I've only spent about 1/5th on heaphone setup & it already sounds more satisfying. That being said, the Mac amps are regard by some as a little overated compared...

Good job!

http://www.divertech.com/aslmgheadotl32.html Love that amp for around that price. Use your spare money to collect a few nice additional tubes to have a play around with the sound.

I havn't received my PA2V2 as yet, but can honestly report the customer service is top notch. Ordering is very smooth and Gary is always their to answer ANY of your questions regarding the amp (or just about anything else you may need help with). That may be something to consider as you know if...
