The new Rogers E20a II integrated tube amplifier is the perfect match for the Rogers LS3/5a or LS5/9 BBC speakers. With a new chassis design, re-designed circuit, upgraded components and remote volume control, the Rogers E20a II is one of the best new British tube amplifiers, designed for a new generation of music lovers and long-time fans alike.
Andy Whittle, the Managing Director of Rogers UK has this to say about the new amplifier:
"We went back to AudioNote and asked them to upgrade the original design. They specified larger, better quality output transformers and re-aligned the circuit accordingly. The old ribbon cable was removed and replaced with Mogami LCOFC screened cable, as used in AudioNote products. Higher quality phono sockets were fitted and the speaker terminals upgraded to silver plated versions.
The chassis was changed from steel to aluminium, which sounds much better and is non magnetic. The chassis is burnished and then anodized to give a lifetime finish. To improve the styling we have added an 18mm thick front panel and removed the balance, tape loop knobs and added a remote feature...
The output valves are the same as before i.e. 6L6's as are the phase splitter and anode follower, 2 x 6SN7 and 1 x 12AX7 respectively..the main PCB is made by AudioNote production facility. The phono board and components are sourced from AudioNote UK. Mains trans former and output transformers are all hand made and assembled here in UK."
