I treat myself with ARBE III's for my sets, which is expensive, but if you're adept you can get inexpensive build-it yourself battery eliminators from AES, if they're still available. I would highly recommend getting at least one early battery set.

It is not too hard to build a battery eliminator with some wallwart transformers, diodes, caps resistors, and some LM317 and LM337 regulators....Design and build work is great training in power supply theory.
