Description

My Main System (haha, my only system).  Some recent big upgrades have brought it to a whole new level!  A Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 replaced a Schiit Freya (OG), a Coda No. 8 replaced a First Watt F7, and Analysis Plus Interconnects replaced some quality but generic (Ghent Audio) cables.  Enjoying it very much, but like a good audiofool - always looking towards the next upgrade :)

Thanks for the commentary on the Rhumba upgrade. Contemplating a move and have been thinking about Holo Serene or the financial stretch of the Coda 07x. I will put Beckert on the list.

Tim, I have a Coda #8 paired with a Freya +, how would you characterize your experience upgrading to the Beckert preamp?
