Pass Labs vs. Sugden

@jamesmartin17 @hilde45 ah, thanks for sharing that comment. While I’ve been a fan of both only reading, never had the chance to compare both side-by-side.

Whatever sounds more vintage, less modern, all transistory and stuff is the one I’d pick just so I could go play some poor old ’70s recordings on it, just because. Slather it up with some overly copper interconnects too while I'm at it! 🤣

IMO, another advantage of Sugden over Pass Labs is the faster warm up time of the Sugden.  It takes the Sugden around 20 minutes versus Pass Labs of about an hour.

Note the head-to-head You Tube video by Harley Lovegrove on the Sugden A21SE vs. the Pass INT-25. Lovegrove discusses the pros and cons of both and ends up slightly preferring the Sugden for half the price.
