The moving coil stage is a Class ‘A’ current feedback circuit and the moving magnet amplifier a Class ‘A’ voltage feedback circuit incorporating the RIAA correction in the negative feedback loop. DC servo circuits enable direct coupling of the musical signal from moving coil input to final output. The power supply, which Sugden considers an integral part of the amplifier circuitry, is a ‘current shunt’ design with a specially designed voltage regulator to prevent rising impedance with higher frequencies. Constructed with components of exceptional quality, hand assembled on long-term stability gold plated circuit boards; the resultant performance is a phono stage of absolute transparency and natural sound.
About the Masterclass Series
The award winning Masterclass series has been in continuous production for over seventeen years. During this time the family has grown and benefited from significant improvements and upgrades. Recent arrivals include an entry level power amplifier, digital converter and headphone pre-amplifier. Like all Sugden products each Masterclass is handmade at our factory in Yorkshire, England by a single highly skilled technician with many years experience.
