Tube Line Stage around $5k


Thinking of replacing my Conrad Johnson Classic 2 SE.    Its a great sounding preamp but I've had it since '13 and am looking for something with remote.   Dual pre-outs a must .   Volume only remote is fine but volume and source would be ideal.  Thanks.

Backert Rhumba 1.3, RCA and balanced out, remote volume, easiest tube rolling on the planet.

My good friend and fellow audio enthusiast has a Conrad Johnson ET5 and in his system, with CJ tube power amps, and ProAc D48R’s sound really amazing.

The CJ linestages have dual outputs and a very nice remote control. 

I was looking at the Rhumba....  looks like it got many good reviews from both critics and users
