Interesting re: PSUs and battery packs.

My Stan-recommended battery pack arrived today.

Dead cheap - from China. Took about 2 weeks to arrive. Seems to work AOK. Charging it up fully now ... can't wait to try it later today!

Any experience comparing this sort of thing to the other options that have been mentioned?

No problem. Its going to the first person today. pm me your contact details and i will add you to the list.

Hi Nick - would be keen to try this also. Have SB Touch into Busmaster, and then £13k of Linn electronics - and it sounds great.

Treble still a little harsh, so would love to try your power supply. PM me if you're interested

Thanks, Ken

Hi Ken,

You've been asked twice now to pop into the Welcome area and introduce yourself properly. What's the delay?

I must insist that you do that BEFORE posting anywhere else, or I will have no other option but to remove your account. I'm really getting fed up with people who seemingly can't be bothered doing the simplest of things!

Simply start a new thread here: http://theartofsound.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=15, outlining the system you use and what music you like.

Nick, please don't send him anything until he complies with my request.

Cheers!

Marco.

My Paul Hynes PSU set for 16V sounds better than the 12V battery, which sounds better than the supplied 12V SMPS.

I found the battery was worse! Going to fix up an adapter for the 15v Caimen supply and try that...

At least one has a variety of power options . I use batteries when outdoors, a Caiman PSU from Mark Grant when connected up to my stereo indoors, and a PSU from Nick when at my workbench.

So can a battery unit be left connected to the BM and be charging at the same time as it's playing?

Not the ones that have been recommended from eBay Hong Kong. However, connecting a charger while listening would defeat the object of using a battery (no mains-borne noise).

Not sure it would be much fun having to faff around keep unplugging and recharging!

Hokay - all wired up.

Nope - cheapo (£14.63) Chinese battery definitely better than the standard 12V SMPS chez-Jerry.

Delicate stuff is more focussed and present. Big Music is slammier and more controlled. All music has better soundstaging.
for the cheapo battery supply from me. Significant improvement for very little cost.

If you don't fancy spending big dosh on a posh PSU this is defo worth getting! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1807947135...394671&afsrc=1
