Ooh, Windows 8. How do you like it?

It's the Microsoft Surface RT, hence not W8, but Windows RT, a dumbed down version of W8. I quite like it, it's really good for school, not taking is a pleasure. And as it has a USB port, hopefully I'll purchase a nice dac to take around and about with me.

Actually the PA2V2 uses a standard Hammond case. Anyways, that's not a PA2V2 because those have the cool red translucent plastic front.


Actually, I remembered its a Fred_Fred2004 amp, uses the tpa6111a2 chip, at the time I remember it was a nice step up from the cmoy I was using. Must be 7 or 8 years old now.

I'm now allowed to post a photo.  iPod Classic 160, AlgoRhythm Solo, JH3A/16 in translucent black with Moon Audio Silver Dragon cable, Black Star Amp Wallet. This photo shows an ALO mini cable
but sometimes I use the digital connection between the Solo and the JH3A.  In background - tc electronic volume control for monitors and ALO PanAm.

I have the same rig, but always use a digital connection.  Amazing how well these three bundle together and are transportable.

Great start... No worries on your gear. I'll bet it sounds nice!

It takes up no more space on an airplane tray-table than an iPod alone. I just sent the amp back to JH because it was so loud at only 8 o'clock, there was virtually no way to adjust volume.
Looking forward to getting it back.

So I got my cable from Headphonelounge! And it's way better than I expected, ten times more sturdy and flexible than the original TMA-1 cable (shorter too!)
Thanks Chris_Himself!

The tricky part was to get the cable to fit in the connector on the headphones, the hole was too small... so I did some ghetto modding with fire and a screwdriver and was, after like 1h, able to expand the hole to make it fit. Looks like crap though, check 2nd picture.
