Sugden Amps

I was thinking the Sugden A21..I watched the video Kevin Deal made on the Musicsl Fidelity A1 integrated….don’t really trust his salesman words..

Well, I would definitely describe the Sugden as being on the 'not fatiguing' side of the spectrum for a solid-state amp and it does sound warm, BUT ideally I think you should try to hear it with your speakers. It's got a very rich, syrupy warm sound that may or may not work with your speakers. Perhaps one piece of information that might be useful to have is the type of music you prefer and the sound quality you prefer in audio equipment. 

The Belles has a tonally more neutral sound than the Sugden. A more expensive option might be the Pass 25-watt Class A INT-25 integrated.

I mentioned this in another thread earlier this evening, that along with my beautiful-sounding Paul Birkeland (of Bottlehead) designed and built 812 tube amp, I really enjoy listening to my kit-built Hypex Class D amp.

Kit was only around $600, easily built, and sounds great. Something to think about..

I'm a Sugden dealer and absolutely love the brand.  

I have several customers running both A21 and A21SEs with Heritage speakers.

Check out the Heed Obelisk.  50/wpc, smooth but detailed and the distributor recommends you always leave it on. A very good amp. I think it’s about $2k.
