hi all. i have a chance to pick up one of these amps ,however i cant find alot of info on it .has anyone had any experience with this model sugden? any help/opinion would be great
Sugden are indeed classic amplifiers in every sense of the word. They run strictly class A operation which means they are low powered and run quite hot. They are music lover's, mostly classical and jazz, amplifiers. I doubt they are what a rocker would choose and certainly not a head banger. They prefer efficient, simple loads when driving a speaker and will satisfy most when the speakers share the amplifier's goals of reproduction. They are rather sparse in both inputs and controls. I would classify Sugden as an afficianados's amplifier. Do you consider yourself to be an afficianado?
