Another option is the current "amp-of-the-month", Musical Fidelity A1 integrated. Runs in class-A (like the Sugden) and costs $1700. May be hard to find.
Sugden Amps
Hello wise men,
I have used tubes with my Klipsch Heritage speakers, lately having problems and tired of tubes. I just need to put they away for a while so need a good SS integrated that will pair well with my speakers. Something not fatiguing and I can listen all day…what do you guys think of a Sugden integrated?..I just want to turn it on and it’s good all day everyday. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated…
‘thanks a lot..

That's precisely why I bought some Klipsch Forte 4s (to experiment). I'm having difficulty deciding between class-A SS amp and tubes. Heat isn't a problem as I would use (whichever) only in the winter. I've owned tubes but never had a first-class preamp (like my current BAT VK-33SE) to show off their potential. On the other hand, I've never owned a class-A SS amp but my BAT VK-255SE is so good (IMO) that a class-A SS may be redundant. Fortunately, there is no hurry so will keep deliberating until I receive some divine guidance/inspiration. |
@chenry Any opinion about sound quality regarding the Schiit gear? The Sugden is supposed to be musical as all get-out. Thanks. |
