the energy equirements of running a Sutherland PhD or the front end of the AST Emitter II Exclusive compared to the requirements of running the output stage of an even moderately powered amplifier!But that's hardly the point, after all spending $5,000 for a separte battery supply for the Sutherland PhD would be simply absurd (how many lifetimes worth of replacement batteries could you purchase for $5,000?... Sutherland says the batteries should last for more than 800 listening hours!), and who's to say the $5,000 battery supply would make sense for the AST Emitter II Exclusive, i.e. I asume those AST boys already know a thing or two about building the required battery supply, no?
But even that misses the point even large point, and I find it nearly incredible to have to state this (actually reiterate since mentioned in my other post), but there is no ready supply of off the shelf components that could utilize the $5,000 battery supply!
