Hi, private sort
« on: 31 May 2020, 11:05 pm »
I choose not to reveal anything about myself at this time, other than:

I am very inexperienced in most aspects of this forum's topics.

Living off the grid for many decades, I do know a fair bit about alternative energy, namely renewable sources and battery storage.

Currently learning to apply that knowledge to EVs, electric propulsion in general.

I am looking to build a high sound quality stereo that is

as portable as possible without compromising SQ

thus needs to be pretty robust, to be used at sea, bouncing in a truck or van, sometimes off road, etc

is powered from DC.

High Ah lithium battery banks available, high current DCDC converters etc, kilowatts at 24-400V, even 600a no problem

I want to avoid using an inverter, if at all possible.

I like classical jazz, acoustic / vocals, soul / blues, some rock but hate muddy boomy rigs.

So far only have ordered the speakers, a pair of  LS50s snagged off fleabay for $550 delivered New (demo) including dealer warranty.

Looking to spend $1000-1500 for the rest for now, starting with power amp + DSP.

Welcome to AC!

Back a few years ago, Gary Dodd built Amps and Pre’s that were designed to run off Batteries. Always sounded top notch to me. He’s not with us any more. Haven’t heard of anybody else building new stuff at that level. Might keep an eye out for used Dodd gear paired with some high efficiency speakers. Some sort of portable high capacity “iPod-like” device for Media storage. Might be pushing your budget though.

Yes, @mikeeastman mentioned those in my first thread. I'm dubious about tubes in a unit might be bouncing around a fair bit bue Mike reckons they are robust.

Bit pricey and hard to google, tips there would be appreciated.

Speakers on the way already, LS50s so looking for 150-250 real watts from the amps.

Not worrying about the sources just yet, see how the money goes.

Thanks for responding!
