Pass Labs vs. Sugden


Has anyone had the chance to compare Pass Labs with Sugden? Any apples to apples comparisons -- amp to amp, integrated to integrated, etc.?

Been reading and seeing articles on Sugden, but in the States and on this forum, Pass Labs dominates. Is that because Sugden sells mainly overseas or is there a real basis in how they're made, sound, etc. Interested in sonic and bang-for-buck opinions if you have had experience.

As am I.  I'm "this close" to  buying a Sugden ANV-50 or IA-4.  The ANV-50 especially looks interesting; I have a relatively small listening room and am hesitant to get a Class a due to heat.  Seems like the ANV-50 would be next best thing.  I'd be using  the Sugden piece with Harbeth M 30.1's.  

I was just looking at the Pass INT 60.  For me, it's just too big and heavy.
