Hot Property: Why Sugden's Class A A21SE is One of the Best Integrated Amplifiers On Sale!

In this episode, Mike and David are joined by Hi-Fi Riff's 'tame speaker designer' Jes Kerr, to review a classic Sugden integrated that has its roots in the original A21 from 1968! The guys agree that there's something rather lovely about the way it sounds – and it's a useful step up from the basic model, with more power and detail. They reckon that it's very hard not to love, providing you don't look at your electricity bills too closely! Also in this episode, Jes and David have a beer without Mike...

Every episode of Hi-Fi Riff features Mike and David's unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.
