What's The Big Deal About Battery Powered Preamps?


.
What advantages do battery powered preamps have over the traditional plug-in-the-wall preamps? I just read recently where Red Wine Audio is coming out with a battery powered amplifier.

Battery power (DC) provides 100% effective filter against AC hum. Also provides a stiffer current and prohibits any form of AC contamination.

Go all out with a 12 volt system. Red Wine amp and preamp, battery DAC and MacBook Pro. Get a couple of solar panels and whatever batteries you need to backup your units' onboard batteries for lengthy night listening sessions and you'll be insulated against power outages.

Car stereo would also work.
