To my knowledge, once an external power supply is plugged-in it takes over to power the amp directly and at the same time charge the batteries.

So, if the above is correct, then yes, the LISA III should work without the battery. But I didn't tried.

So I can safely assumes that by removing the batteries will not affect the SQ of the amp. May try this out once I have my order fulfilled.

Once an external power is plugged in, the SQ of the amp will be dictated by the quality of that d.c. power. If a LLP is plugged in, actually I would expect slight improvement in the SQ given the very high quality of d.c. and higher voltage that can be made availalbe to the amp.

But if one plugs in a so-so wallmart the quality of d.c. will be hardly as good as battery supply and so the SQ will suffer.

It will be a no no for me to go without a LLP unless Brad don't intend to make it available to general public anymore. I am still counting days to see th Buy Now Button.

In case some are still wondering about which power supply to get, at the suggestion of Brad I got myself an Igo universal power supply and it works perfectly on my LisaIII with cherry wood face plates!

On top of it, I can use this same Igo to charge all my other goodies instead of having a separate supply for each toy.

I don't use it to listen, I just plug it in the LisaIII to recharge the batteries. When I did listen I felt it added a bit of noise so I didn't bother listening extensively, I'm perfectly happy with the sound produced by the battery operation.

The Firestone Power supply seems to be perfect for our LISA.

Sounds like they are getting prepared for a new product - the NEW Headcode.

TriadAudio.net Forums • View topic - HeadCode Waiting List

And it is more than one product - there is also the NEW ValveCode coming - the same cascode topology but using tubes and transformers instead of solid state components.....

Guess they are real busy right now.

I think the LISA will remain as an affordable, good value high end headphone amp in the foreseeable future.

The new Headcode and Valvecode will be the ultra-high-end bleed that is going to be in a different class quite distant from the LISA.

And yes, it is 2:00 a.m. at my location. Time for bed
