World Premiere Review!
Acora Acoustics QRC 2 Floorstanding
Loudspeaker Review
First-class sound quality in a luxurious form factor.
Review By Rick Becker
Val Cora must have spotted my
press pass when I first encountered their SRB two-way stand-mounted monitor at
the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest show back in
2019. He encouraged me to take a
closer look and listen as I didn't seem particularly interested. It was my
subconscious fear of tipping over heavy stone or aluminum speakers that I later
traced back to a childhood trauma incident. Fast forward to 2023 and I've become one of Acora Acoustics' biggest
fans, typically including them among the Best Rooms awards in my show reports.
Not so much because I like them as because they're so damn good. Val has been a
master of setting up rigs in a wide variety of rooms supported by a diverse
selection of amplification and front ends. That he consistently features
different top-level turntables and phono cartridges has been a particular
delight, though he also showcases digital front ends. I fear that since he
recently acquired Audio Research, his presentations may become more restricted
to their products.

World Premiere Review!
Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.4 Preamplifier Review
An outstanding preamplifier with excellent connectivity for the music lover who desires
more.
Review By Rick Becker
Backert
Labs has seemingly come out of nowhere. Their first review appeared in 2015 and Enjoy
the Music.com reviewed the 1.3 version of the Rhumba Extreme in 2019. This
micro-manufacturer specializes in tube-powered preamplifiers, with a tube phono
stage being a logical extension of their focus. All of their manufacturing and
assembly is done in the USA. I had heard the buzz on the brand only one other
time before my audio buddy, Tom, informed me that he had ordered a Rhumba 1.2 on
US Audiomart that had been upgraded to a 1.3. Listening to his familiar system,
I noticed an impressive improvement. When the 1.4 series was announced I
contacted Andy Tebbe, the President and frontman of the company, and was
promised a premiere review when the design was finalized. I waited, and waited, until finally, I met Andy at the Capital
Audiofest. He explained that Bob Backert, the designer and CEO of this company
kept coming up with incremental improvements that slowed final release.

Siltech Launches Master Crown Cables
New flagship from Holland's premiere cable manufacturer.
Launch Event Coverage By Greg Weaver
Siltech
recently launched a new, flagship series of audio cables called Master Crown. As
with everything they do, the launch would be a first-class event. With the help
of US Siltech distributor, Monarch Systems, based in Englewood, CO, a press
event was held Friday, June 20th to introduce and demonstrate the advantages of
this new product to the audio press. Monarch Systems was founded by two audio industry veterans,
Jon Baker and Rich Maez, and with the assistance of their Marketing Manager,
Jaclyn Schnirring, they played host to seven members of the press in a spacious,
beautiful home in the gated community of Las Campanas, to the west of the heart
of old Santa Fe, at a location they call La Casita. We were also honored
to be joined by Siltech's own engaging, conversant, and well-informed Gaby
Rynveld, who led much of the day's ceremonies.
