Post Subject: On a good day for vinylPosted by Paul S on: 10/27/2007
Electricity was very good for the K&K/vinyl today so I again compared the battery power to wall power for the iDAT-44+. To make a long story short, the battery was still better in terms of music, including better focus, which does not come from stripping for a change. I usually warm up the unit off the wall power, then switch it over for listening. When I listen before I switch to battery, then listen after I switch, the unit starts sounding better and better over about 5 minutes, then it improves very slowly like it does on wall polwer, depending on how long I've warmed it up. As I have said, the unit sounds much better hot.
I don't know what this proves but I will mostly be using battery power to increase my chances of getting at least that level of performance.
After 4+ hours of listening the Odyssey battery still tested 12.68V
I forgot to mention it before, but part of the "+" upgrade is class A operation.
