Which batteries do you prefer in your remote? Which have the most synergy with your system and really make it sing?

I find Ray-O-Vac's to have a very warm and liquid sound.

    I usually put batteries in my underwear for a day or so, prior to installation. I swear it makes them sound better.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I like Duracell for my flashlight as well, but we are talking system or CD player remotes here.

    I'm going to have to go with my rechargeable Sanyo eneloop low-discharge batteries (for remotes or any other devices). I didn't see Sanyo on your list so I voted "other." Of course, no difference in performance but the the low-discharge feature of these translates into longer periods of time between charges.

    Are you sure you don't mean hearing aid batteries?

    Powerex rechargeables. They're like Home Depot 12ga, they synergize with everything.
