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.

For preamp I agree it's great. The downside is when the battery runs out meaning that you should have either an extra battery just like for your DeWalt cordless drill or wall socket option.
I DIY-upgrade now my 30y old Classe 30 to work off the 24V automotive battery. A power 2-way switch will power up the battery when preamp is OFF and power ON safe battery charger. Contrary when the preamp is ON the safe battery charger is OFF. For listening session upto the whole day and night of charging will be plenty enough to run on pure battery power.
