Strength:
Dynamic rock is a strong point as this amplifier has great pace and timing. Soundstaging is very nice too, and the midrange might be slightly forward (although this is something that I personally like). For sound quality I heartily recommend this amp and give it 5 stars. internal engine repair Weakness:

I bought this pre-amp because of the reputation of the Sudgen. And I was totally glad I did. It was a fantastic Class A type of sound. Thick and transparent midtrange, musical and nice throughout from bass to treble. It's solidly built and looks like a class on its own. I was looking for a Musical Fidelity A1 but this will satisfy me for quite some time. It was one of the best pre-amps, if not the best I haven ever owned.

I own a Sugden AU-41 & A21a combination.Both units sounds very open with a lot of air around the instruments. |

I just bought this unit to replace an old Hafler SE110, this move proves that the pre-amp is the most important piece of equipment in any system. After plugging it and starting to listen to the music, I noticed a eerie sence to the music, evething was flowing out of the speakers, whereas before, it was thrown at me. the highs are soooooo sweet and the mids are all there but not too forward. Bought second hand for 700 cdn $, it's a steal and I compared it to the big Bryston Pre-amp at 2300$. the Sugden has a smoother and richer sound. For me it's a +5 stars, but I'll be realistic and give it a 4. Happy listening. Dan |
