John Rogers

Job Titles:
  • Founding Member of QR Design
John Rogers is the founding member of QR Design. Drawing upon over 40 years' experience in sound reproduction, he leads the company's research and development programme. By profession John is a chartered accountant and at one time was the youngest partner in one of the world's largest accountancy practices. In 1982, at the age of 40, he changed direction to indulge his love of music and to pursue an earlier interest in the reproduction of recorded sound. He immediately co-founded with his wife, Angela, the Quality Records (QR) Group, to establish shops offering a wide range of products and services specifically for music lovers, including records, compact discs and quality hi-fidelity equipment. Experience a fresh new sound from your hi-fi During the late 1980's, John became increasingly more involved in the issues determining accurate sound reproduction and related research. He believes the professional experience and discipline he gained over many years in resolving a wide range of very complex issues, both national and international, enabled him to bring a fresh approach to many of the inherent difficulties. John Rogers has written a series of articles entitled ‘How to get the best out of a hi-fi system' in collaboration with some of the UK's leading hi-fi designers. The series appeared in the enthusiasts' magazine 'Common Ground'. Articles on 'How to set up and fine tune a turntable' are available in booklet form from Ringmat Developments. It is hoped to reproduce other articles on the Ringmat website.
