I got my Zen 2.0 earlier this week and instantly felt the need to order a RA 2.0 as well. So its under transport now.
 
Could someone help me with the size of the RA 2.0?
I'm looking for carrying bag for portable use. Something like this

But I'm not sure what size of bag is needed to safely and comfortably transport the the unit stacked with a FiiO X3ii.

A lot of people use Camera bags to carry rigs with.

Any comparisons of RA and RA Plus? What are the improvements?
Very tempted by the RA Plus even though I don't really need an amp for now 

 
I think I caught the Head-fi virus cough cough

RA2.0 in da houz , bass more tight clean, mids more foward and clean, treble more extended, soundstage bigger and black background versus RA original. Size is 1.5 time bigger, sound power is 2x louder and weight is twice. Already pure love.

The RA 2.0 is my go to amp and will be for the foreseeable future. Black background, clean sound, neutral and musical, a freak of nature I tell you. Gotta hear it to believe it

WoW it's pure love at first listening, already in your bed. 

 
Congrats man 

 

 

[mochill]

Thanks, always in my bed.

My carrying bag from AE arrived today, so I thought I should share some pictures of how it turned out. 
 
First the X3ii stacked with the RA2. I believe the rubber bands are from the FiiO E07K (I'm not sure, they were in a drawer in my bedroom). Anyhow, they fit perfectly. Just like Moloko is the perfect soundtrack for this stack.

 
 
Another angle. Like master Lee previously said: The RA2 can become a lethal weapon in the wrong hands.

 
 
The stack going into the carrying bag.

 
 
Finally I'm ready to use the stack on the go.

 
If you wonder where I got the back, it can be found here

Quite decent quality for the price. I got the one called Middle Size: 18 x 14,5 x 10cm

Much thanks @springbay. Been thinking about a transportable solution for my awesome RA 2.0. Love this forum!

So, a couple months ago Lee was saying something about making the Runabout "more juicy" or something along those lines...
 
When I got my Runabout (first version) I wondered why it has a 15 volt input but no wall wart to use it with. Long story short, it didn't really do anything. Here's a link to the review:
 
http://www.head-fi.org/products/venture-electronics-ve-runabout-portable-amplifier/reviews/13947
 
Well, insiders in the VE clan always know that the Venture Electronics guys don't do things for no reason. Lee messaged guys with information to mod their Runabout and get "more juicy" from their device. Well, I'm happy to say I got my hands on a "more juicy" Runabout. I now see what he meant. I plugged this thing in and......DAYAAAAAAAM! This thing is a powerhouse! I can visually show you how much more powerful the "more juicy" Runabout is!
 

Guess which one is the "more juicy?" 9 volt battery on the left, 15 volt wall wart plugged into the modded RA on the right.
 
Same runabout sound, but it's like somebody pumped it full of steroids and went on an audible roid rage! This thing drives everything I have with ease in low gain!
 
Using both, I have two devices that essentially does what the Runabout plus does, which is basically provide a kick arse amplifier that can drive any earphone under the sun.
 
Well done Lee, this thing rocks! The modded RA is going to be banded to my E18 for a while, I'm going to rock the snot out of my Omnis with them.
 
Cheers
