battery powered stage - replacing PS Audio

I'm looking at replacing my PS Audio GCPH and want a battery powered solution (horrible home wiring and RF problems). Sonic wise I'd be happy simply replacing what I have with the PS Audio but with a darker background and maybe smoother highs. I want to keep the authoritative low end if possible.

I'm considering the Sutherland Ph3D but are there other options out there? I would also consider the PhD if it truly is as advertised.

Associated Equipment:

Michel Technodec
Benz Micro Glider M
currently deciding between Manley Stingray and Red Wine Audio Sig 30.2
shazam

ZYX artsian is a great phono pre and powered by battery
very natural and open sound - solid state
I know of one available or get one of Sora Sounds (Mehran) discounted ones listed here on audiogon

I can't compare it to those
but it's very natural sounding
has great resolution
and being off the grid isn't colored by line voltage variations

I'm using it with a ZYX Universe

it has mc and mm settings
and comes with a nice little metal 'bullet' case
