It's finally here! After a painstaking wait our Sugden ANV-50 finally arrived on Tuesday and we couldn't wait to get it hooked up.
First impressions? Incredible.
We've always been a fan of Sugden Class A amps so to have that sound we know and love packaged up with more power and drive is a mouthwatering proposition and it doesn't disappoint.
Here's what Sugden have to say about their latest creation:
The Masterclass ANV-50 is a new amplifier released to celebrate Sugden Audio’s fiftieth anniversary.
It is a unique design with many innovative features and specially developed audio circuits.
In
1967 Sugden released the world’s first solid state pure class A
amplifier, the A21. The ANV-50 promises to revisit this golden age of
British audio engineering, with a design focused on the demands and
preferences of today’s audio enthusiast and music lover.
The ANV-50 has at its heart, the purest class A amplifier Sugden Audio has ever produced and this is coupled to an advanced ‘ideal’ final output stage. This unique two stage amplification system guarantees our signature pure class A sound, with the ability to drive most loudspeaker systems.
