About the Rhumba Extreme 1.4
The Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.4 is a high-end vacuum tube stereo linestage preamplifier positioned as the company’s best-value model, offering sonics very near its flagship Rhythm preamp. Backert Labs describes it as a fully balanced design with upgraded circuits in the power supply and gain stage, improved stock tubes, higher-quality capacitors, a solid brass bottom panel, IsoAcoustics Gaia feet, and an all-new circuit board for better grounding and channel separation. It is manufactured in the USA and sold for $8,500. Backert Labs says the current 1.4 version replaced the previous 1.3 series in January 2024 and the company is still selling it as its current Rhumba Extreme model.
