Audiogon Discussion Forum The Sugden ANV-50 is a new integrated amp form them and departs from their traditional Class A approach and uses a switching power supply with AB amplification I started looking at the A21SE, but worried about the low power output I know of only one Sugden dealer
Sugden Amps - Audiogon Discussion Forum So many choices, everyone’s suggestions really help me think and do research…my local Sugden dealer says the Audio Note Cobra should be my first choice the the Sugden second…I was trying to get away from tubes … the Sugden has a 6 to 8 week build… he has a demo Audio Note Cobra at a reduced price…my tube amps have been really been
Audiogon Discussion Forum The Sugden ANV-50 throws an incredible, holographic soundstage! All the detail, inner detail, speed, and clarity that you could ever want - unless you have to really crank it, when it will start to compress
Audiogon Discussion Forum I've got the P28 C29 combination in my second system (old school, Marantz CD94 and Musical Fidelity MC2 speakers) Had it since new (1989)but its still first class, typical Sugden sound, warm, powerful, plenty of depth and very involving without any fatigue over extended listening Never missed a beat or caused any problems
Audiogon Discussion Forum The Sugden guy is driving past this month so I can home audition the A21SE and the Masterclass Integrated I like Class A - great SET is only slightly better to my ears, and I listen to 90% acoustic music, mostly female vocals I will be upgrading my speakers too but that is another question for another time

Audiogon Discussion Forum I currently have a Sugden ANV-50 integrated at the heart of my system Analog source is MoFi UltraDeck +M fed through a Lounge Audio LCR III (Gold+ upgrade) with LPS upgrade, via Morrow Audio PH6 MA6 cables
Audiogon Discussion Forum The Sugden has the same big sound stage, airy top end With the addition of better instrument separation and a realism to the music that makes you feel you can reach out and hug the singer Sugden is one of the best kept secrets in our hobby
Audiogon Discussion Forum @willcal48If the Sugden is voiced like the masterclass I would stick to the Whest What I found was that when things got complex it 'sugared' the pill The Whest maintained consistency and shape to the various instruments and sounds, whereas the Sugden, under pressure of complex music, kind of melded the sounds together
Audiogon Discussion Forum People need to be aware that the Sugden class A amps have higher output impedance lower damping factor than most SS amps They are medium for these traits wheraes most SS amps have low output impedance and high damping So electrically they operate more like a push pull tube amp To sound their best they need to be matched with speakers that do not dip too low in impedance-genuine 8 ohm speakers
