If anyone is considering selling their relatively new TT2, let me know. I’m in the market.

Never ever leave any equipment on for 24x7.

Yes. Leave it on. When I had Mark Levinson big rig gear I left it on 24/7. Same w Chord.
I 100% agree with your comment on using high capacity portable battery. I power my M-Scaler and TT2 each with Krisdonia 50k mA (they're less than $100, and is a direct DC connection using supplied cable and adapter plug -- meaning you don't need the stock Chord PSU). The sound is so PURE, I'm never going back to plugging into sockets or my iFi PowerStation conditioner. Going to batteries was BY FAR the best sound upgrade to my system, cost and SQ-wise.(1) No linear power supply will beat 12v ups battery for tt2 and m scaler. Rob himself recommend battery. (2) try a better measuring headphone like dan Clark audio stealth. Again rob himself use this. (3) my m scaler and tt2 is in speaker system with benchmark ahb2. I occasionally use r70x with se out of tt2 and no wonder the experience is out of this world kind of. (4) abyss headphones though highly regarded but measured very poor specially in distortion by ASR. (5) I am currently very happy with mojo 2 and r70x combo and even he400se with slight EQ in mojo 2. Mojo 2 lends so much ease of use as compared to desktop setups. (6) more difficult to drive and power hungry headphones like abyss are not the guarantee of accurate sound as also clear by measurements. A flat fr headphone like r70x or hd560s can be much more musical experience than poor measuring expensive stuff.

How long to charge and how long does it power the combo?I 100% agree with your comment on using high capacity portable battery.

Yesterday I got to soldering and made some XLR to Banana cables (single ended based on what Rob Watts suggested) using some Duelund 16Ga tinned copper wire, and hooked up a cheap open box pair of Klipsch RP-600M speakers to my TT2 and wow I have to say I'm impressed without any break-in!

Hi, dare yo explain what "pure" means here?
Btw, is this the one you use? https://www.amazon.com/Krisdonia-50000mAh-Portable-Battery-Charger/dp/B074N1B15F?th=1
I think rather I spend more on power cable I may try the battery option.
I would estimate around 6-7 hours for the M-scaler, and 4-5 hours for the TT2. I'm going to let music play until the battery runs down and report back.How long to charge and how long does it power the combo?

Thank you! Nice WAVE support!
Nice! I use same 25000mah for my HMS. TT2 feeding with stock wall adapter + Wave StormI would estimate around 6-7 hours for the M-scaler, and 4-5 hours for the TT2. I'm going to let music play until the battery runs down and report back.

Just purchased a TT2 and the battery pack based on your impression. Looking forward to hearing it. The first time I had the TT2 it was very good but not amazing for me.I 100% agree with your comment on using high capacity portable battery.
