Backart Labs Rhumba Extreme version 1.4 Linestage Tubed Preamplifier


Looking to upgrade from my current solid state linestage. Many users have recommended the Backart Labs tubed linestage Extreme version. Does anybody currently own this product or have heard this product?  The retail price is $8500.00. Would appreciate any comments that could help me make a purchasing decision.  Thank you.

@pbecker128  Here’s an interesting thread that includes the very experienced and knowledgeable guys who designed it that you might find interesting — I sure did.  It’s impressive the lengths they went to in both the design and choosing the parts they did and why.  It just exudes bespoke quality and end-game preamp level to me.

@pbecker128  If you’re looking at those excellent preamps you should definitely also put the Spatial Audio Raven on your list.  Like the others they offer a trial period, and it’s actually a little cheaper if that matters.
