Best AMP for my ProAcs : Rega Brio-R vs Naim Nait 5si vs Sugden A21a

[kazuhito]

I'm worry about My Amp. The amp has Gone. So I'm looking for a good integrated amp for my Speakers(i.e.ProAc Tablette Anniversary) . My list is Rega Brio-R, Naim Nait 5si or Sugden A21a. Could you let me know your opinion which the best amp for my speakers, PLS???

If it were my money, I would go for the Sugden. I would also ask for the optional MM/MC board to be fitted (one less box).

I would also go for the Sugden.

I've always liked the Sugden/ProAc pairing too.

Hi, Nice to see you, David,

Thank you for your commnets, I am replying from Japan.

I have one question about Sugden.
Should I choice more upper Sugden model for Tablette? (i.g. Sugden Masterclass IA-4, etc...) (Which Sugden model should i choice for my Tablette anniversary?) Is "A21aI Series 2" not enough for Tablette?
Regerds,

I would definitely have a look at the A21SE.

Sugden A21a2 is dissatisfied with Tablette Annversary...??? :quest:

My budged is for A21a2...

 

[kazuhito]

Could you let ke know what differentiation of sound between Sugden A21a and Sugden A21SE, please?

ようこそ　Welcome to the forum

Are you buying these products in Japan? From my experience Naim and ProAc in particular are very bad value when purchased in Japan. I think at one point I calculated that it would be cheaper for me to fly to the UK and bring a pair of new tablettes home in my suitcase than to buy them in Japan, although it looks like the price difference on the anniversary edition is only about 60,000 yen, so not quite enough for a trip to the UK.

ちなみに、ヘッドフォンフォーラムよりHiFiのフォーラムで投稿した方が返事得られると思う。

By the way, you might get more responses if you post in the hifi forum rather than the headphone forum.

HI ID.,

Thank you for your advice. I posted Hi-Fi forum.

You looks like Japanse.

As you know that there is NO both Naim and Rega distributor in Japan. Because everybody recommneds Sugden, I intend to bay sugden In Japan.

Just living in Japan.

Audiounion used to sell Naim a few years ago, but when I visited their website just now I couldn't see anything so maybe they stopped. Anyway, Naim were very expensive compared to the UK, so I wasn't tempted to buy any Naim equipment.

I can't help thinking that you would get better value for money with a Japanese brand like Luxman or Accuphase, but in my experience audio dealers here won't give you a home trial, and it is difficult to take your speakers, etc. to each shop that had equipment you want to try.

I dislike Japanese Audio!!! :wall: It was not "Audio" but JUST like "Machine" :rant:

I LOVE UK sounds... :cheers:

Just wondered what this was doing in the headphone section. 🙂
