If anything, I have already laid out too much "background" or "context" including my likes, dislikes, whatever, at this long-suffering site.  The idea here has nothing to do with anything other than getting "acceptable" sound more often than I do "these days", because of bad electricity.  I happen to think this (presently) means battery power for phono, and I don't think this can happen without "designing for batteries" from the get-go.  Can it be done "successfully" with tubes?  Do certain "minimal" SS options better lend themselves to use with batteries?  If so, are "minimal", discrete circuits (etc) up to the task of making Music I can live with?  I dunno, and I do realize it will ultimately require listening.  At this point I am just developing ideas by way of dialog.

N-set, too true, but I have managed to find a hybrid phonostage, SS amps, and a battery-powered DAC, so now - as ever - I am curious to push it.
