All you need now is a nice big valve amp to run off it.

I also have a 0-30V, 10A lump that I could use for the LT and if I wanted to make the whole lot portable (ha, ha) I could run both supplies off my synthetic mains unit which is powered by two 24kg lead-acid leisure batteries  .VB

I don't think I've ever seen a power supply that large! A beast indeed.

What a sheltered life you must have led!
Leaving aside the mains supply network, the biggest DC supply I ever saw was at CERN. It produced about a megawatt of very smooth DC to drive one of the magnet systems of the LEP machine. It occupied rows and rows of 19" racks in a building the size of a small factory.

I'm not sure at what point people give up on electronic supplies and go over to rotating machines. Maybe these days anything is possible with silicon. It seems that the 2000 MW interconnector to France has a solid-state DC to AC converter at the end of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_Cross-Channel.

There is a longer one at 1400MW under the north sea.
