Closeout: The Rhumba Extreme preamp from Backert Labs. Factory new. Made in Pennsylvania. Retail price: $5,500. Now: $4,995. These are the last units made of this incredible tube preamplifier. This line stage uses radically new technology designed by amplification veteran Bob Backert. Two 12au7 tubes, a beautiful remote volume control, and just 75 ohms output impedance. The Extreme is essentially our $8,995 Rhythm 1.2 flagship placed into the less expensive chassis of the Rhumba 1.2. The Rhumba Extreme is an upgrade over the incredible Rhumba 1.2 in several ways: 1. Our proprietary automatic and continuous tube biasing -- no tube biasing of any kind is found on any other preamp in the world -- makes every tube you use in the Rhumba Extreme sound its very best 2. Premium Psvane tubes, for even smoother highs and just a touch of beautiful warmth 3. Premium TerraCone feet, from edenSound (retail for $95 per foot) 4. "Best of the best" output capacitors from Mundorf - their latest and most advanced 5. Upgraded polypropylene capacitors throughout the power supply and gain stage The Rhumba Extreme can be had with silver or black front plate. Body color is traditional black, or for $100 more we offer stunning red and blue color options. As with the Rhumba 1.2, the Rhumba Extreme propels dynamic, rhythmic, huge, clean and beautiful tubed sound from your speakers. Sound quality far above its price. The primary improvement in sound quality that you will experience with the Rhumba Extreme over the Rhumba 1.2 is additional resolution in midrange frequencies. The Extreme's tube access door lets you see the warm glow of your tubes during late night listening sessions, and gives you instant access for changing tubes, no tools required. Under the door, the protective enclosure around the tubes prevents young fingers from accessing the circuit board. -Remote volume control. -Three RCA inputs, one fully balanced XLR input. -Two RCA outputs, one fully balanced XLR output. -REC OUT, and Home Theater bypass. -Mute switch. -Balance control. Full refund of your purchase price if you are not satisfied within 14 days. Questions? You can just write to us here. You'll hear back from our President, Andy Tebbe.
