Sugden Amps

Definitely look at the Sugden A21 (Signature or SE). My signature has a phono amp---I don't believe the SE has a phono amp. It runs warm but not hot. Extremely musical and well built. It's my first class A and I love it!! Go through @goldprintaudio Great customer service.

Love my Sugden LA-4 pre, with those Klipsch I’d totally think a Sugdan amp would be for you, I absolutely love the Canor Virtus i2, but being tubes... ugh that’s a phenomenal amplifier now with pre outs. Lastly what about a Cambridge Edge A. I have my Azur 851a and it’s an amazing integrated (discontinued) and the edge line just notches all that goodness up a level.

So many choices!

My absolute favorite integrated amps as of now are my Riviera Labs Levante and Technics SU-R1000.

Would love to try a Pathos InPol amp which again sounds like it would be a great choice for you.

Good luck and happy hunting

Let us know what you find.

So many choices, everyone’s suggestions really help me think and do research…my local Sugden dealer says the Audio Note Cobra should be my first choice the the Sugden second…I was trying to get away from tubes ….the Sugden has a 6 to 8 week build… he has a demo Audio Note Cobra at a reduced price…my tube amps have been really been giving me problems…hard decisions….

My Belles Aria is $1500.....Mint condition....It's not listed anywhere.

For clarification, the Sugden A25B one poster referred to, is an over 30 year old design and was Sugden’s entry level piece.  Not really a fair reference to present day performance of the line.
