I just got a set of Denon AH-D5000 headphones (about 20 hours on them now).  I am listening through a 32gb Ipod touch using lossless format.  Ok here is the issue.  I have a PA2V2 portable amp and was using that with the denon's until my new amp showed up today YEAH.  I got a Matrix...

Evening, gentlemen.   I'm currently in the market for a headphone amp. Currently I have a set of ATH-M50's playing from a Zune HD, or occasionally from my computer. Price is not a major factor, but I'd like something reasonable. Any recommendations? 

I've had my pa2v2 for a while now and it's been working great.   Yesterday I noticed it's having static unless I put the volume to about 12 o'clock which is past comfortable listening level. I put new batteries in it (Duracell AA alkaline) which helped a little bit but the static is still...

What low-impedance headphones do you guys find that scale really well when plugged into an amp.  I've tried the M50's through a receiver headphone out and through my Pa2v2 and I found that the Pa2v2, to my ears, tightened up the bass a bit and gave them just a tad more depth. So it seems that...

Have: Fatalty Sound Card > PA2V2 > MS-1   Tried: DT770 Pros (didn't like at all)   Wanting a better sound, but am considering a desktop DAC and amp to run optical out on my sound card.   Don't know if I want new phones first or that.   Thoughts?

I am trying to locate a schematic of the PA2V2 Headphone amp. does anyone have one or know where to get a parts list? I have been looking all over the place and cannot find one. Thank you in advance! HoFL

The fiio E3 and E5 might be worth getting, but I've read over time they can start causing hissing. I'm trying to spend no more than $20-$30 on it. The reason I'm looking for an amp is that I've heard the HD-201 are not very easy to drive. I'm mainly going to use the headphones for...

Hey all, Looking for the typical recommendations on a portable amp to be paired with a Clip or Fuze with TF10's. I'd like to spend under $100. Is the E7 worth waiting for, or should I look at something else? Thanks!

I just recieved my PA2V2 in the mail and let me say it was a GREAT transaction.  Gary is amazing to deal with.  Extremely fast contact and got the amp in about 6 days.  I got it on ebay for $56 and I think it was money well spent.  Let me start by saying I currently have Sennheiser HD280 pro...

I'm currently looking for a portable amp. I'd use it most with TF10. Would prefer a smaller sized one if possible, the ones that would fit inside pockets. Edit: I would use it most with my S9 and S:Flo2(OTW), and for SQ I prefer separation and clarity. I would also avoid Bass-heavy...

been doing some research on portable amps,  this one seems interesting Emailed Gary, seems like a very nice chap, said no problem shipping to the UK   But before i buy one, does anyone know how well they pair with the Sennheiser hd25-1 ii's for portable & home use from Ipod & Mac...

Hi everyone, I want to know what amp you guys think would work best with ipod touch. I'm currently using UE TF10. Thinking about going custom, I'm leaning toward Fisher Hearing. I don't want to spend too much on the amp. What would u guys suggest? And what else do i need once i have an amp? I...

Hi everyone, my rig as of now is as follows:   Sansa Fuze (Rockboxed) -> Fuze LOD (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sansa-Fuze-MP3-Line-Out-Dock-LOD-Cable-7N-Silver-Plated-/280550479263?pt=Car_Amplifiers) -> PA2V2 Portable Amp -> Audio Technica ATH-ES7 cans   I'm thinking of upgrading my rig.  I...

Hey guys, I am looking for some decent full sized cans that are $150 dollars are less. l'm fine with open closed. I want cans that are going to be able to give me all the details in the music and really bring the vocals to life. I'm not really that big on bass either and would prefer a more...

I recently picked up a PA2V2 that is still floating around in "Canada Post Land" and I was just wondering about what were some problems you guys found with it (sorry to douse the PA2V2 Appreciation Thread ). Partially I want to check that what I'm hearing is in line with what everyone else is...

i recently purchased a PA2V2 amp for my sennheiser hd595s and along with the amp i purchased a 30 pin connector to 3.5 mm male jack to connect my ipod to the amp.  when the amp finally came i plugged everything in, including the cable, turned on the amp and started playing music, only to be...

I placed a bid on a PA2V2. I'm having second thoughts though, should I forget the PA2V2 and get another amp (possibly a CMoy)? I'm gonna be using this amp from an iPod LOD and they will be powering a pair of ATH-M50s.

Looking into buying my first portable amp, and I have about $100 to spend. From what I've found the iBasso T3 and PA2V2 seem to be thought of quite highly. They will be powering ATH-M50s, RE0s, and Klipsch S4s. Any thoughts on one doing working better for me? Thanks.

I initially started visiting headfi for a nicer set of headphones to see what all the fuss was about. That ultimately led me to owning over 5 pair of headphones and making my peasant wallet weep. Lately this odd and rather joyful journey has brought me to the world of amps. I recently got my...

I just got my PA2V2 in the mail today, and I plugged my iphone in to it via a lod cable. However, sound came out through the speakers instead of IEMs. I had to connect it via hp out instead. Is the amp faulty or am I doing something obviously wrong?

I've been enjoying my PA2V2 for a while now, but upgrade-itis has set in so I'm reaching out to the community here for some suggestions. The iBasso T3 is currently my leading choice, but I'm curious if you guys could share some other ideas. Looking at about $120 or so as a max price range.  ...

Hello fellow Headgeeks :), Have you seen this? It is so cool! It is a portable headphone amp that you can take out the opamp and put any other 8 pin dual opamp in! What is your opinion? Is this a good deal? I can get it for $50 US shipped, or do you think the PA2V2 is better? Why? The guy is...

I'm an older person, my hearing is no good. I have a set of headphones. I watch internet movies, sometimes. Even with the headphone volumn maxed out, the sounds is too low. I first posted on one of the other forums. They told me to try headphone amp/dac. The amp w/o dac is more in my price...

I currently have a CMOY that I have built, and I think it is a decent amp.  I've recently discovered the PA2V2.  Are they similar in terms of amplication? I have a Jlabs CMOY by the way.  Is there a PA2V2 kit I can find online just like the JLABs CMOY?
