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.

I am seriously considering Rhumba 

i tried to look at the McIntosh C22 but the only dealer close to me was. Magnolia.  They had a room with a $100k at least system and an end cap for lack of a better word with an end cap with a C49 and 275.   Not even connected.    Sad.

PRIMA LUNA EVO400. PREAMPLIFIER   Made the cover of TAS as the top performing tube preamp.

This product exudes quality from every standpoint. Unless you want to spend many multiples of $K, You are not going to find a finer sounding preamp on todays market. I have no reservations pertaing to this preamp. 

You can find out more by not only visiting the PRIMA LUNA website, but also UPSCLE AUDIO. Watch Kevin Deal's video about the product and see if you agree with me.  I wouldn't buy many audio products on faith, but this is one of the exceptions.
