Romy's virtual example is a wonderful example of "context", perhaps the only error up to now in this thread.

The description of Walters VirtualPhonoStage would be a great article for the website: http://www.I_am_a_deaf_musician_but_so_what.org, but hardly for the GoodSoundClub.com as Walter virtually only gets one sound from the outside: whatever the scientists create. Beethoven also had an interesting bout with something similar. I can think of a couple performances of big name orchestras where we asked questions afterwards about the hearing ability of the horn sections........


Asking about battery power is actually in line IMHO with "high quality GoodSound". "Green GoodSound" is a VERY interesting topic as energy is getting more expensive and unreliable all the time, as is our dependency on it. In addition, the complaints about inconsistent power lead to a discussion about moving variables under our own control. The phono stage with its relatively low voltage/current requirements of the in and output is a great place to start. The warmup time Romy has provided with power consumption values. Based on current storage technologies, we can calculate if there is enough power available for Wagners Ring before a recharge........ A motorcycle battery would probably suffice in his case for a 20 minute Bach Cantata.
