| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp @sbank ,Thank You for the reference. It does help to know this detail because reviewers have a different expectations than designers. | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp @jwpstayman , thanks for pointing that. But I managed to talk to Andy at Backert Labs and he answered all my questions. Looks like the new Rhumbas do not do phase inversion issue, since a transformer that they use inside does it (not sure if I put... | |

| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR +1 on the ProAc D48R as cmach suggested. I purchased them earlier this year after 2 years of loudspeaker searching. | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? Ralph,Thank You for the correction. Obviously I am not a tube guys and hence probably did not get that fact right, when I looked at the Specifications page. http://www.atma-sphere.com/Products/#MP-3So I am assuming that it uses 2 x 6SN7GT and 2 x ... | |
