SOLD Sugden a21a Signature (phonostage model)

[Rockchild]

Ok, now the PA-4 phonostage is sold, now the amp. (Lots going on here).
Just over a year old and finished in unmarked 2022 Graphite. Comes with the built in MC/MM phonostage card which retails now over £2500 and still a six month wait. Complete with remote, manual and box.
£1650 plus post or collection welcome.

Obviously the amp needs no introduction

Great amp at a bargain price.

Wow, surprised your selling this Jon! GLWS!

Mine is my favourite bit of kit I've ever bought. I am totally in love with it. Whoever buys this is in for a treat for the ears .

Difficult decision. It is imo, one of the best amps at any price but it came down to this or the Harbeths. The Harbeths are, as you know, fresh back from Harbeth and would represent the biggest loss (like all speakers).
If I didn’t have the Harbeths, I’d keep the sugden and buy some Proacs.
It is, a glorious amp.

A handsome amp which would grace any room and system.

This is a stunning amp and a bargain at it’s RRP never mind The Rock’s asking price.

I have the same amp and it blows me away every single day with it’s sound. Must have been a difficult decision.

If it were me I’d be ditching the Harbeths and buying some Proacs. But it’s not and I wish you luck with the sale.

Cheers mate. It is a difficult one but one has to go.

Can I do some DJing on those decks? Go on go on go on.

Lol, probably not

eBay then when the next offer comes. Interestingly, the last two sold on eBay without phonostage for over £1625 and both were over 5 years old!

Bump until then

 

[Rockchild]

Provisionally on hold

 

[Rockchild]

Re available. I can’t hold for two months without any payment lol
This really should have sold by now. A year old only!

 

[HouseElf]

Shocked this hasn't been snapped up yet. Stunning amp that competes with anything up to £5k in my opinion. Possibly beyond with the right speakers.

Brilliant. Or not when the sellers remorse kicks in

 

[TIU]

And paid for?

See other thread about a buyer reporting a fault the instant he got it at home.

It’s not a CD Player
Yes it’s paid for and I’ve been having a long chat with the new owner. He has Tannoy Cheviot’s so he is in for a pleasant surprise coming from a Naim Nait. He also lives behind the Sugden factory

Don’t forget I’ve another S2 hiding in the rafters
I’m under no illusions about the a21a and I still think it’s one of the best amps out there. I was tempted by the Arts in the classifieds as they are upgradable but let’s see how I get on.
I would have the Luxman that @deggie (Kieth) had from me as it probably would work better in this room on the Harbeths in their new position

I'm sure the Sugden will be a superb match with those Tannoys.
