Having heard the 47 Labs and the Final products together I can say that they did not blow the 47 labs out of the water. Anyone who wants to buy 35 bateries every few months has a problem anyway. The build quality is not too good either. The Rowland battery supply? I wonder how long Roland will make it availabel?
Battery Powered amps and preamps
Something struck me recently, as I discovered this group of equipment that was supposed to be battery powered. The Final line is no longer represented in the Western Hemisphere, perhaps it was too costly for what it offered, and there were not enough takers. When I read the review, it seemed that their battery powered unit blew the Gaincard out of the water and also went head to head with the Conrad Johnson Art preamp. Does anyone have any opinions about this type of gear? I have seen people advertising a N.E.W. amp that was supposed to be battery powered. I have no idea what they sound like or anything else. Any experience would be appreciated with this latest mystery. Maybe this might be the next step for many people who are fed up of upgrading to massively and inefficient gear.
