I have this amp in silver (A21se model), it is everything you say it is. A very detailed, fatigue free, 3d amplifier. I run tannoy eatons with it with no problems, and they sound divine.

You recommended a vintage sansui - I got one. You recommended this - I won't get one 😂

At first I thought your class A amp was on fire but then I noticed the reflection of the lava lamp in the background.

My mum made this, love the mention. Thank you

Watch out...you may get sucked in by new gear! Though the price tags will protect you! ;)

how sounds it with b/w dm 4

Thanks for another interesting and informative video Kelvin. As you point out, there is no doubting the superior audio qualities of well made class A amps. When you say class B though, I think you mean class AB, which combines aspects of class A and class B to create a more power efficient amp (less energy lost to heat) higher power to weight ratio, generally very good sound quality and lower price than pure class A amps, which is why class AB have been the most common and popular type around over the last 60 years. Pure class B amps are a type that are rare, because they don't work as well as class A or class AB.

I think it's worth paying the extra, knowing it's made in the UK and you are getting a product you could pass on and last a lifetime.

Good review. I have been inside Sugden Audio manufacturing and seen their products being made and had time in their listening room. They even repair any sugden amplifier right back to the 60’s. A superb place. One thing , This Yorkshire town is not pronounced Heckmondwick as in candle wick. It’s Heckmondwike as in bike .

Beautiful amp

Good review. I've had my eye on this units for a while now, and thanks for coming clean on your JBL L82 review with updated listening preferences - much appreciated.

Kelvin another super review, i particularly like how you describe your feelings about what you review and this amp's highlights as well as deficiencies .. keep well and keep on giving us more reviews

You said all the right things about it. I couldn’t find the better description for its character. Thank you so much for the video, sir.

You've got a Thorens 150 too! Fantastic turntables - love mine.

Thanks for the review I am seriously thinking of getting one of these amps.👍

These are simply beautiful in every way

Hi Kelvin, greetings from Dublin, keep up the good work!

Nice video - thanks! I used to have a Musical Fidelity A-100 [class A] amp driving my Rogers Studio 1a Speakers. I gave the amp to a friend after I found one of my young son's toys melting on top of it. Boy that amp ran hot! I replaced it with a Linn amp which is good - but I do miss the control that class A amp had on my speakers and the dynamics too. Now the kids are grown up, maybe I should go down the class A route again? Hmm

Well I pulled the trigger on the Sugden A21 with inbuilt phono - paired with my Lintons and its magical.. what an amazing and refined class A.. I am totally happy with it.. and Kelvin hit the nail on the head.. its gorgeous .. greetings from Ireland

For me the Sugden a21 represents the home coming after decades of playing around with inferiour stuff in my journey . Its accomplished now. Im ready to receive my medal of honour, because life has no meaning anymore, and the a21 and me are going to grow really old together :-)
