I have been enlightened recently as to the potential use of a high-quality power inverter with a sufficient quantity of lead-acid batteries to effectively "battery power" one's system. I'm considering going forward with this to the extent of powering my front end, leaving my amps to "drink from the tap," due to the obvious constraints. Not as elegantly styled as the PS audio and others, but sounds worth a try!
Battery Powered amps and preamps
Something struck me recently, as I discovered this group of equipment that was supposed to be battery powered. The Final line is no longer represented in the Western Hemisphere, perhaps it was too costly for what it offered, and there were not enough takers. When I read the review, it seemed that their battery powered unit blew the Gaincard out of the water and also went head to head with the Conrad Johnson Art preamp. Does anyone have any opinions about this type of gear? I have seen people advertising a N.E.W. amp that was supposed to be battery powered. I have no idea what they sound like or anything else. Any experience would be appreciated with this latest mystery. Maybe this might be the next step for many people who are fed up of upgrading to massively and inefficient gear.
