In Reply to: RE: Battery Powered Phono PreAmp Dynamics posted by Poinzy on October 05, 2015 at 08:24:26
Poinzy -
I am not referring to a backup - I am referring to a phono preamp which contains rechargeable batteries used for power rather than using your homes AC line - several high end manufacturers have designed preamps this way. One that comes to mind is Sutherland (I can not remember the model).
My question is for anyone who has used a battery power powered phono preamp; did they notice any changes to dynamics when the preamp was using battery power rather than when using AC / wall power.

I have experience with 2 battery phono-pres. One is the Nagra BPS that a friend owns, the other is the Musical Surroundings Nova 2 that I own.
The BPS is crazy dynamic. I think Fremer called it a pipe-bomb. My own Nova 2 is very dynamic, but not quite as much as the bps. I prefer using mine with an SUT for low output moving coil, but it can be used straight in as it is very adjustable.
Battery permits the noise level to be practically non-existent, as such, macro dynamics are better exposed as are large dynamic swings.
As always, you should listen first.

I meant to say "micro dynamics" in the last post, sorry.
