Until the Rocky mountain show battery power was new to me.
After hearing the Dodd gear with Bbattery powered Pre and Amps it got me thinking. The servo amps feeding the subs though needed every bit of juice from the Ubers and TWL cords.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of battery power. Leave high powered amps out for now.
I was unable to do a direct comparison of battery vs non battery power. So impossible to compare.
Has anyone here compared the difference directly ? It just makes sense to me to have the front end at least on batteries. The p[reamp though makes the most sense as ground lops usually occur when the Pre is connected to the CDP or TT.
Dynamics I guess was always the issue so I'm told. But but the dynamics at the show were staggering. Even though the subs were attached to the grid there was no part of the frequency range that over powered the oher.
I was so taken by this a Dodd Pre is on the way for further evaluation. Dood makes a VG Pre but that is not the issue. it is battery power that is.
Any experience out there to contribute ? Batteries or grid that is the question. I like both.
