accuphase class A vs. Sugden class A

Hello,

For my studio system with Merlin TSM MMe I am currently considering Class A amps, after having heard some of the great tubes - my favorite the Berning ZH270, in use with my home system and VSM's.

After coming close to Accuphase E550, I would also like to hear about the Sugden Masterclass AA power amp, or Integrated.
Bear in mind, that I have extensive experience with the Pathos TT, which I dearly loved, but had to give up due to a water damage :-(

Are they comparable to the Pathos? And to each other? what else?

thanks!

Sugden masterclas series amp is one of the most underrated amp IMo.

If you have a chance to audition it you should really try to listen;super sweet sound and a massive sound stage.

The problem is it run REALLY hot,but what a sound!!![match it with ANY Harbeth speaker and you have a combinations that could beat ANY system in the world in term of musicality,IMO
