comparison of battery powered phono preamps

Does anyone have comparative listening experience with these battery powered phono preamplifiers - and are there others out there worth considering?

It is the best one I have had and sounds better on battery power than it does on AC. Has two seperate phono stages so you can use two TTs at once.
