Altoids just refers to the metal tin that houses the amp. Its a DIY product. In the picture of my little portable rig they've used a Penguin tin.. Penguin Caffeinated Mints. They wipe the floor with Altoids sorry-as$ excuse for a.. oh sorry, thats not me, thats the caffeine talking.

Super Portable Heaven Setup:
Sony MZ-R700 Minidisc Player
Customized Minidisco Soft Leather Case
Etymotics ER4P

Portable:
Sony D-EJ01
Headroom Cosmic Amp
Headroom Traveller System Bag
Etymotics ER4S

I'm really proud of my super portable rig though... in a case the size of a CD Player, I fit in a minidisc player, an extra battery, Etymotics 4P, 5 minidiscs, LCD backlit remote, and a Sony microphone. Its a beauty! I think I'll post pics of it soon. It is truly my super portable heaven! I take it with me anytime I don't want to carry my traveller setup.

I just posted some links to massive pics of an "Altoid" amp. Look under my impressions post on the Cmoy amp under the Amp section.

OK, so I go a little overboard. I carry this system to work:

Panasonic CT-470
Grado RA-1
Sennheiser HD-580

All fits into an old laptop case, along with room for plenty of CD's. Can't jog with this setup tho...
