I seem to remember an "ultimate PZM mod" article a while back in some audio
magazine. They had two 9V batteries in series--18V! Good noise figures, too.

>PS: TANDY/realistic some connection with Radio shack?

In the US, Radio shack is the retail chain owned by Tandy. Realistic is
their brand name for audio equipment.
