I am ready for a subwoofer sized battery pack by the house electrical service feeding the audio dedicated lines. Whats wrong with this solution? It doesn't exist yet? Heck, $15k in the grand scheme of things...

Steve, yeas, the huge battery pack is a good idea and it does exist. Some people I see put in basement a few tank-size batteries and run playback from them. This would require redoing the whole system – to transformers, not rectification, different type of filtration and so on. It might be a bit too complex to have a SET with 211 tubes running from battery but it done by people out there. I personally do like the idea on the practical merit. I do not play audio as “event”. I have playback on practically all time and I very frequently when I leave house I do not shut down the playback and keep amps running. So, my concern about buttery power is purely physiological – I do not want to be controlled by charging and discharging cycles. Still, I would be very welcoming if your or somebody within my reach would build a fully DC operating playback. Then I would bring my properly sounding PP2000 and we will hear if there is any further room for PP2000 improvement. Butteries powering is fine but my biggest interest is how far properly sounding PP2000 would be from Butteries. That is the question that possible to answer only after listening tests.
