Hi
Living in Yorkshire I wonder if you have been to the Sugden factory?
I have a blue Sugden Sapphire FBA-800 Pure Class A Power Amplifier.
I am very happy with it.
So much better than my old Quad 606.
Don't think many people here have Sugdens though.

Welcome to the circle Aleman100! Don't worry about keyboard mistakes, we all do it to one extent or another. You've been on the audio treadmill a long time, as have many here on the circle. I was first exposed to Leak tube amplifiers in the early 1970's and have been curious about UK built "glow FETs" since then. Incidentally, I still have a Mapleknoll air bearing TT that hasn't been used for a couple of decades because I was never able to find a quiet and powerful enough replacement air pump for both the arm and the platter (the original was Japanese). What do you use and are they still available? You also seem to have the DIY bug, which I've had since the early 70's. I'll look forward to your posts!
