Battery powered glory or hype


Would like to hear details from those Audiogoners who have ventured into and out of battery powered equipment. Would like to know what battery powered sources add, substract. Also battery powered amplification. Its plus and minus. What to expect.

PS: I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Final Music 5 and 6. Both preferably DC battery powered and optionally powered to mains with a tube regulated power supply. 10 watts and a whole load of D batteries.

I have a Rowland Model 2. I purchased the Battery Power Supply (BPS) after I had the amp for a while. I would have to say the amp is so quiet (noise floor) to begin with, for me the BPS is overkill.
That's not to say it may not help to have the BPS if you're driving horns or big Tannoys, etc.
The BPS does reduce the current available, to me, in my bedroom system, it's never an issue.........
