Little dot micro, Pint, Mint or PA2V2

[Sebastianbf]

Hello everyone.
I need your adveice here guys.
I want to buy a portable amp for some PX100 headphones. It will be a used amp since i'm a little short in money.
So please, which one would you recommend me: Little dot micro, Pint, Mint or PA2V2? I will the amp mostly at home so I really don't need like the smallest one.
thanks in advance

The PA2V2 pops up here used all the time while the others not so much. You might be in for a long wait if you want to go with something other than the PA2V2.

Well, the PINT is the successor to the MINT and now the PINT is no longer avalible. So, I would either get the PA2V2 or wait for the Mini^3. If you do wait for the Mini3, I have a feeling your going to be waiting a while.

Oh ok guys, thanks. It's good to know that some of the amps are hard to find in here.
I was wondering how those amps compare in sound quality. I mean, is there any of those that is better than the others?

how much you can spend? you need to pay the shipping cost when buying a used one. a new pa2v2 is 60 dollar shipped from gray

I own the PA2V2 and the Little Dot Micro+ and I find the Micro+ has a cleaner sound and a larger soundstage. It is available on ebay for around $70 including shipping. The PA2V2 is also a nice amp but has a more colored sound which is enjoyable but not as neutral as the Micro+

I've been in the same situation as the OP, and I spent quite a while researching and finally decided on the LDM+. It is only $70 shipped, but I don't know how it sounds because I haven't received mine yet.

If you don't like bass, don't get the PA2V2. It even makes my E4c pound.

Thank you very much for all the replies. After hearing yor commentaries about the pa2v2, I think I'm gonna grab a Pint or a Little dot micro+. Anyone else want to add a mini mini review?

I have a PINT (built by DieInAFire), Little Dot Micro+, and a PA2v2 and I would rank them in that order. The PINT has a much more spacious sound and deep bass. The Little Dot Micro+ has a very clean, uncolored sound but not as wide or exciting as the PINT. The PA2v2 has the warmest sound of the three but a little muddy on the highs (at least on my Beyers DT880s). Hope that this helps!

Thank you all guys. You've been very helpful. I want to ask you all one more thing: What is that thing Mini^3ified in the Pint?

DieInAFire: great review, thanks for bumping it. Are you still building some Pints?
