I have tried out a Sugden A21SE and a Pass Labs INT-25. I kept the Pass Labs. The Sugden is nice, and the Pass is nice. I felt the Pass was a better product, though more expensive so it should be. For me, sounded better and was built with a true heirloom quality. The Pass Labs INT-25 makes all of my music sound wonderful, some of it magical. Probably the most pleasing and satisfying integrated I have owned (coming from 30 years of experience with ARC, Cary, Ayon, McIntosh, Devialet, Line Magnetic, Luxman, PS Audio, Vinnie Rossi and many others). With all of that said the Sugden also brings up a similar sound in Class A but the Pass does so with a bit more expansiveness and detail. Bass on the INT25 is remarkable.
