Item: Sugden A21al Series2, 25 watt Pure Class A Integrated Amplifier with MM/MC phono board fitted Location: Melbourne Price: $1950 firm for quick sale Item Condition: Virtually perfect Reason for selling: Too many amps Payment Method: Cash, Paypal, Bank Transfer Extra Info: Handmade in the Sugden factory in Yorkshire, this magical little amp is able to drive my large Monitor Audio Platinum PL-300 speakers (also for sale) to room filling levels. Next to new condition in Titanium finish with remote, manual, all paperwork and original carton for safe postage if necessary. This unit has had an exceptional Sugden phono stage fitted, bringing the original price to $3895. As a single box solution for analogue users, it represents tremendous value , far superior in musicality to anything else I could imagine at this price. With CD and other digital sources, its sweetness makes listening a pleasure, even with speakers as demanding as the Platinums. Happy to demonstrate with vinyl (easily switched MM or MC) or my Accustic Arts CD Player ES mk2 (also for sale). Pictures:

Item: Sugden Masterclass IA-4 Class A Integrated Amplifier Location: Melbourne Item Condition: Immaculate condition, like new. Comes with all the original paperwork, remote, power lead, box and packaging. Price: $4695 (RRP is $9650) or I would consider swapping for a Sugden SPA-4 Power Amp. Reason for selling: I’ve recently change my front end to a server based system and now use a DAC which is also my pre-amp so I don’t need an integrated amp. Payment Methods: Paypal, Cash - Pickup, or Australia Post COD. Extra Info: The IA-4 is a very high quality no nonsense product which is hand made in England. It is a full Class A design with everything focused on sound quality. I use it to drive 86db floor standing speakers and rarely get past 9 o’clock on the volume dial so it truly has plenty of power.

Hello all, I would like to inform every one of the Sydney Audio Club’s upcoming meetings for anyone who may be interested in attending. Each month I will post a copy of our newsletter highlighting who will be presenting at our next gathering. See post below. All are welcome, so please post here for more info, or see our website for calender dates, www.sydneyaudioclub.org.au/ You don't need to know anyone to join us for an afternoon of fine music and sound. Hope to see you there. Potential Presenters: I’ve been a member of the Sydney Audio Club for over a year now and love it and have recently joined the committee in the role as Events Coordinator. This is a joint role with another committee member whose career background is in Pro Audio. Together we source and organise Home and Pro audio equipment from Distributors, Retailers, Direct to Market Companies, Representatives and our Members, to showcase their gear for the enjoyment of our members and guests at our monthly meetings held at Dence Park Creative Centre in Epping. The Sydney Audio Club offers companies an opportunity to present and demonstrate their equipment to the club. It could be a single piece of kit or an entire system, something new to market or an old favourite. Also we have recently updated our website to list our presenters over the last 12 months in the public area. Anyone interested in offering and presenting any gear at our future meetings, feel free to contact myself for further discussions. Meetings are on Sundays and openings are available from Feb 2013.
