Sugden A21SE Stage Two MM/MC Phono Amplifier

Sugden A21SE Special Edition Stage Two

Moving Magnet & Moving Coil Phono Amplifier

The Stage Two offers true high-end phono amplification in a compact, heavyweight, minimalist two-box design.  Separating the amplification from the power supply helps reduce interference and increase resistance to pick-up noise.

The single input accepts both moving magnet cartridges and moving coil cartridges.  Input selection is internal, together with adjustments for 47K, 100, and 470 ohm impedance settings.  The input of Stage Two is a low-noise, low-distortion instrumentation amplifier.  Current feedback circuitry achieves wide bandwidth and an excellent dynamic response.

The circuit is paired with a dual FET-input operational amplifier that has great dynamic response and low noise. The amplifier is mains operated.
