    class A upgrade

    The Sugden 21sig produced a big sound on my speakers , there's more bass, more depth, better decay on notes. Also quite foot tapping, tonal balance of the Sugden is a bit darker but less forced than the Caspian . I paid 1.5K with phone stage in stealth black, it's a shame, as the static...

    class A upgrade

    I have purchased pre owned sugden a21 from a dealer but theirs is a bit of a crackle on one channel, the other channel just has a bit of normal transformer hum. the crackle is just about audible from my listening position 2 meters away. I may need to return the unit.

    Just cancelled Netflix, where to spend the money instead?

    I have prime, but as with all streaming services you get to the point you have watched everything. you want to watch. then I stop using it for a bit than the cycle repeats, but I still keep my account active to keep the free deliver from amazon.

    class A upgrade

    I know one version has a phono stage, I just have a small room with small speakers and was just wondering the sugden a21 would be more suitable with 23 watts class A , might have a bit more tone but I don't want to lose the rhythmic sound of my current set up.

    class A upgrade

    I was wondering what improvement a sugden a21 will have over my Roksan Caspian m2 with my eb acoustics speakers eb1, I have never had a class A amp. I have have the roksan Caspian m2 for around 10 years now which I have been very happy with, but a upgrade do cross my mind.

    Is musicality what you first thought?

    I remember a old Sony midi system, paid about £50 used , being more satisfying than a decent separates system about a grands worth. not because the Sony was a bass machine. it just sounded more mellow and pure

    True wireless headphones...

    love my Bose sound sport wireless, true wireless I find they sound better than there wired pair. but maybe not the best choice for gym use or where theres a lot of back ground noise.

    My old Hifi sounds wonderful and worth £100 ?

    ive have an old sony midi hifi from late 80s early 90s cost me 40quid used 20 years ago, it sounds amazing for a midi systems. Modern midi systems may sound more powerful but not all have same clarity of this old system.
