“Rogers High Fidelity makes unique eccentric-looking tube amplifiers that always sound vivid and strong; but while you are listening to music you can’t take your eyes off their shapes and color. This year, I could listen without staring at the amps because Rogers was using the beautiful $20,000, 34S-1, class-A, 100Wpc, EL-34-tubed amplifier—but he was exhibiting with Burwell & Sons who were demonstrating the same $87,500/system Mother of Burl loudspeaker array that Ken Micallef and Art Dudley reviewed in October. Burwell’s “Mothers” seduce the eyes and soothe the mind. Every bit in the room was a joy to behold.”
