The Rhythm 1.4 is our flagship. It looks just like the Rhythm 1.3 pictured above, but it sounds…. better. Silky, powerful, dynamic, and huge. Our finest linestage tube preamplifier, it sells for $12,900.

Features

• Fully balanced XLR inputs (2) and output (2): for those of you with long cable runs or who feel that balanced XLR just sounds better
• Incredibly long tube life: Our proprietary five-step design process for the gain stage extends the lives of your tubes, to the point where they might just outlast all of us
• Brass: We have found that incorporating a solid-brass bottom panel to support the unit (and the circuit board) provides more holographic and more natural sound quality.
• Dual-mono power supply: left and right channels have their own power supplies and regulators and their own separate windings in the power transformer, for the ultimate in separation, imaging and accuracy
• Highest-quality output capacitors: The highly seductive V-Cap ODAMs handle output duty. These are not fluoropolymer caps (the material found in no-stick saucepans), because we find that this material is best suited for the demands of the power supply. To our ears the V-Cap ODAMs are extremely revealing, involving, accurate capacitors.
• “Crazy-good” power supply capacitors: the famously dominant fluoropolymer type of capacitor drives our GreenForce power supply. These exotic capacitors are unheard-of for use in an audio power supply. In any any power supply at all, actually.
• Improved circuit board: features design upgrades that improve grounding and separation throughout
• Improved stock tubes: our special NOS tubes provide maximum pace, dimensionality and resolution
• Our latest circuit: last but not least (because it’s probably the most important point), the Rhythm’s gain stage and power supply regulator designs benefit from our latest research
• Analog volume control
• Remote volume control with volume up/down and mute button
• Analog balance control
• “Gaia” feet from IsoAcoustics
• Mute switch on front panel
• Stereo/mono switch on front panel
• Record Out output pair (RCA)
• Home Theater Bypass input pair (RCA) which does not require the unit to be “on” during home theater use (this means you don’t need to burn your preamp tubes while watching movies, which is something most other manufacturers force you to do when using home theater bypass)
• Our handy tube access door allows tube changes with no tools, just a touch of a finger
• Subtle LED on the volume knob indicates where volume is set at all times
• Our personalized service, allowing you direct access to our company President for any questions you may have
