For sale: Sugden A21a integrated with phono stage. I bought this version of the slimline model with the fancy gold script as I've read that this is the finest of the A21a and I know John at MAX is a big fan of this particular version. I'm also told that the phono stage is excellent in these. I bought it to tinker with my proac 1sc, so i could hear them how theyre supposed to sound. I'm now back on to my AN setup.

Condition is fair given its age. It had one owner before me who had it in rack and never touched it for years. When I bought it the tape monitor and mono buttons were sticky so I gave them a good spray with contact cleaner and they were fine. The heat sinks paint is slightly lighter than the dark black of the main case probably due to heat. Its 25 years old I guess.
Important bit, it sounds beautiful, really beautiful, particularly with my proacs and taking the above into account, it looks nice too.

No original box but I'll box carefully.

£470 plus p&p

Just out of interest what do those 90's Sugdens sound like? The last one i bought was 'A28II' which would be about 1988 ish
