Pictured here is the beautifully styled, fully featured, Dodd Battery powered tube pre-amplifier. It has 4 inputs (including CD) plus a Home Theatre pass-through input for use with an external volume controlled receiver. Two outputs are provided, the second one of which can be used to feed a subwoofer or second system.

The wood finish shown here was a custom option which is no longer available. This is complemented by a shiny chrome top-plate and matching wooden remote control for controlling the volume.

The pre-amp is powered by 4 Sealed lead acid batteries which have just been replaced. The supplied charger ensures the batteries are quickly recharged as soon as the pre-amp is switched off. One pair of batteries powers the pre-amp while a second pair remains fully charged. Each pair provides approximately 6 hours of continuous play (depending on the volume level used) If  you exceed this time, a warning sound and flashing light appears, then simply switch to the second pair to continue listening.

Read this review.

Above the Dodd is a Bellavista Bobolli Turntable, Arm and cartridge package which we are also selling ex-demonstration for €1800 (normal price €2495) and accompanying phono stage which we are selling for €700 ex-demonstration (normal price €995).

The Dodd pre-amp is sitting on a VertexAQ Super Kinabalu support. All these items are on a Rethm Taalam Rack.

Agreed!… and it has already happened with Red Wine Audio’s adoption of a far lighter battery

Lead Acid batteries should be replaced with a new type of battery that weigh less -~”
