Many Sibelius owners have asked
Many Sibelius owners have asked me how the Musical Fidelity and the Sugden A21 compare, and I was very curious too! Both amplifiers are Class A and have a similar outputs and feature sets. However, the Sugden A21, with a phono input is more than twice the price of the Musical Fidelity A1 at 3,400EUR versus 1,600EUR for the Musical Fidelity.
Musical Fidelity A1 Specifications:
Power: 25 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms
• Voltage: 42.5 Volts peak to peak
• Current: 25 Amps peak to peak

• Output devices: 2 per channel
• Signal to noise ratio: 82dB
• Channel separation: 85dB
• Frequency response: + 0, –1dB, 10Hz to 40 kHz
• Line level sensitivity: 300mV rms nominal, 8V rms max
• Line level inputs impedance: 25k Ohms
• Tape Out impedance: 220 Ohms
• Pre-Out impedance: 100 Ohms
