I'm in agreement with regard to the value of battery power. I disagree, though, that anyone could assemble a system from 1967 that would be superior to *any* current production system. The advances in speakers and vinyl front-ends themselves are way beyond what was available 40 years ago (speakers and front-ends being generally the most colored components, IMHO).
it's the ac.....
i spoke to kyle of Reference Audio Mods and suggested that i could assemble a stereo system from 1967 which would be superior to any current production stereo system.
as we discussed this issue, he made an interesting point.
kyle believes that there is a problem with the source of electricity and that battery power for all components can make such an important difference that independence from the electric company may solve a lot of the problems that one often hears from audiophiles who complain of sonic deficiencies.
this is just a thought but an important one, i think.
unfortunately, kyle believes it would be difficult to construct a battery power supply for a tube component.
i suggested that a tube amp, properly designed would be preferred to any solid state amp which is battery driven.
of course, it's just my opinion, but it is hard to believe that some of the euphonic colorations of tube gear can be emulated by a solid state electronics.
what do you think ?
