Sugden A21SE Signature Integrated Amplifier

A nice ‘graphite’ example of British specialist manufacturer Sugden’s highly regarded A21SE Integrated Amplifier. It is in very good condition with a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes – please see photographs. It comes in original factory packaging with remote control, mains cable and our standard three month warranty.
Sugden Say….
The special edition A21SE integrated amplifier builds on the strengths of the classic A21. Offering pure Class A single ended voltage rail operation, the sound remains distinctively ‘Sugden’. Upgraded with a fifty percent larger power supply and increased power output, dynamics are even more impressive. A sophisticated pre-amplifier stage is another improvement on the A21. This provides greater clarity without added brightness producing crystal clear highs. The larger power supply provides greater control over a wider range of loudspeakers and improved micro dynamics for low level listening.

Just a couple of quotes from the Hi-Fi press….

“The Sugden A21SE amplifier is a real beauty. I am almost shocked at how good it is – and it uses transistors! It has the most fabulously detailed sound, one that is dynamic, full of vivacious life and enormously engaging as a result. I continue to use our review sample and am quietly addicted to it for reviewing purposes, because it makes the most of loudspeakers, due to its sweet tonality.” Hi-Fi World

“The coherent sound is why it deserves to be included among the high-end’s great and good.” Hi-Fi Choice
