Mines back somewhere at 8k...I think.
i bought mine a while ago (#10675) and love it except..... I emailed Gary about getting one and boy does he reply fast! I thought about it for while and forgot all about it until I came here again. then I emailed again and placed my order. Got confirm super fast again (does he sleep by his computer? lol). Same time i ordered a Fiio L3 LOD for it to use with my itouch/ipod
both came and when I tried it out, loved it.. but after a few days, I couldnt get any sound out of one side of my earphones. Tried different pair of earphones and same thing. hmm Got on amazon again and ordered another LOD, this time a L9 since I'd rather have the L-shaped style. I was hoping it was the LOD that was defective.
New lod came and again, no sound out of the one side of my earphones BUT, if you shake your earphone plug or the LOD cable, the sound would come out. I finally figured it was a defective amp so I emailed Gary and... no reply. Waited a while and emailed again about getting it fixed and... no reply. Oh well, it was a "cheap" amp and if you move the cables just right, it works fine.
only other negative I can say about this amp ( i still love it) is if you bump it around, the battery inside comes loose. I thought my battery finally drained (battery life is amazing) and plugged it in to charge up. After hour or two, it didnt play. When I opened it up, duh the battery came out of the holder.
Would this little headphone amp be OK to use while jogging and exercising?...My worry is that the batteries could come loose...I'd probably put it in a spandex fanny pack so it wouldn't move around much...I'm using a 16G Ipod Nano with Sennheiser PX100-11i portable headphones...Would the Filo E7 be better for working out?..It looks to be the same size as the Nano...I also have a Sony portable CD player that may or may not need any more power...Those 30 Ohm Sennheiser headphones are very efficient and sound fantastic...I was using Koss Porta Pro's with the Nano but I'm maxing out the volume..I need more kick (power) obviously...Also I assume that the little remote for the Sennheiser's (that skips IPOD tracks and controls volume) wouldn't work anymore if it was used with the PA2V2?
Thoughts?
From what I recall If you use the AC adapter, 6 to 8 hrs should be sufficient for a full charge If in doubt about how much charge is remaining (which is usually the case) as long as you don't exceed 6 hrs to re-charge you should be fine. After that forget about it, it will be quite a while before it needs a charge again.
One solution is to get some kind of charge meter But you would not buy a inexpensive amp and then except to spend more on a meter. If I have doubts and expect to travel, I just do the 6 hr recharge, it has not failed me yet after 2 years. .
. Who knows in 30 years.. we may have aux ports in our heads.
Trying to find a small mp3/ camera bag for this thing because its too big for my pockets. Anybody have any good suggestions for carrying cases?
