Why not batteries instead of power supplies?


I read about issues with power supplies, like noise from AC outlets, ripples in voltage etc.

Why not just use a large battery that can be recharged? If batteries can power cars, they can for sure power amplifiers.

The new Rowland Power Storage Unit (PSU) is a full chassy external ultra-capacitor-based power supply. It has been designed to power simultaneously up to three line-level devices... A Rowland Aeris DAC, a Corus linestage, and as one spare output for future use.


I have had it in my system for about three months, and have applied it to my Aeris, as I am not currently using a line stage. The enhancement that PSU has brought to the system is rather phenomenal, for all audible parameters I can think of.... Its effect is tranformational: more in line with a substantive upgrade of all electronics, rather than the replacement of just one power supply.
