The sugden 1a4 is very well known and easily available s/h for about 2.2-2.4k . loads of stuff on them. superb back up from yorkshire based company . My a21se had a small fault and was fixed very efficiently . very low noise floor , incredible dynamics . that would be my choice
Now the norma is gathering speed in being known , a harbeth reviewer recently did a review in hifi critic . i still am VERY nervous of buying stuff that is not mainstream
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
