The Rhythm 1.4 linestage preamplifier features a unique gain stage design that operates tubes at low voltage for extended lifespan and black backgrounds. It includes 2 balanced XLR and 3 RCA inputs, 4 outputs (2 XLR/2 RCA), and a solid brass chassis. Key features include a remote-controlled analog volume, IsoAcoustics Gaia feet, and Home Theater Bypass that operates without powering tubes. Technical highlights include <80Ω output impedance, fluoropolymer capacitors, and a toroidal transformer with separate channel windings.
