I'm looking to take my system "off the grid" and while I see options out there for battery powered phono stages (like Sutherland), I don't seem to see much in the way of battery powered turntables. What are my options?
I'm more or less a newbie to analog (been away from Vinyl for 20 years) so I'm a little dizzy trying to figure everything out. I'd like to be in the $1,500 range for table/arm/cartridge if possible - definitely under $2,500. A well paired stage recommendation would be appreciated too if you have one in mind.
Amazon makes several battery operated units. I enjoy mine. If you are looking for a battery operated phono stage as well, look at ZYX. Both are out of your budget if bought new.
Shazam Lately I've been busy on that very same,please e-mail me privately,for battery powered turntables,I got some additional info you might be interested in. Regards George
Until recently* I made a kit which was specifically designed to run AC synchronous motors on SLA battery supply. It's very easy to do, use a car amp chip to step up the oscillator power then transformers (one per phase) to convert the voltage.
