Does anyone know if it's possible to take the PA2V2 out of its box and put in a altoids tin can?

The case the PA2V2 comes in, is stronger than the Altoids can, so why would you???

I don't think the PA2V2 case is curiously strong.

You know, the Altoids can just looks like something homemade

It's just more creative.

I can't think of any reason why not... The circuitry all comes out easily, you'd just want a way to afix the batteries.
Gotta love PA2V2, fun, bassy sound, plus Gary is just a great guy to work with. He's always prompt, delivers on time, and gives great and knowledgable support!

I got this with my Shure E500 as well, and stopped using the amp.

I had a similar hissing problem when i first got it. The sound also would break up if I put the volume up too high too quickly. Gary couldn't really figure out what the problem was, and it didn't really concern me (I don't like to listen at high volumes). However, when I changed the batteries, the problem went away.

Have you tried changing the gain settings? Those little blue screws inside of the amp.

I bought the PA2V2 used off of dfkt, and I can honestly say he did me a huge favor. This little thing is amazing, a bit chunky maybe, but well worth the extra effort to carry. Also, I had a slight mishap and damaged the casing, and Gary (from Electric-Avenues) sent me a replacement, as well as a charger. All of this was for only the cost of shipping.

Great amp, great service!!! Can't beat that w/a baseball bat!!!!

Are you thinking about the CMOY? lol

I bought the Pa2v2 because I hear it pairs with MS-1 really REALLY good. Also bought it because it comes with a lifetime warrenty at no extra charge.

I message Gary one time about batteries (rechargeable vs. alkaline) on a Saturday in MIDNIGHT!! He replied UNDER AN HOUR!! Talk about service including the lifetime warrenty. THE BEST service on the web. If you could beat that sevice, tell me.

I see that Gary is approaching the 6,500 count for his PA2v2. WOW.

I'm on that list somewhere. It was my first headphone amp. I sent Gary a money order and he shipped the amp to me the next day after requesting...before he got my money.

The PA2V2 was my first portable amp as well, it fed a Grado SR125. Nice pair if you ask me and one of the best customer service anywhere.

Gary rocks!

It definitely needs the rechargeable batteries. With the regular 1.5v batteries I had a hiss in my yuin pk1s but that went away once i put in the rechargeables. Great little amp though and Gary is really a nice guy.

There's supposed to be two gain tuners (blue knobs) near the battery enclosure. Try fiddling with that. Watch it though, the knobs are very sensitive, you'd want to be careful. Keep the volume of the PA2V2 at its lowest and fine tune it with a screwdriver until you get the hiss and loudness you want.
