## Description

It's not so often one gets the chance to compare four different amplifiers from the same manufacturer. In this talk, I share my thoughts on why I like Sugden amplifiers so much and the things you should take into account before purchasing an amplifier from Sugden.

The music chosen for the comparisons at the end was:  'I've got you under my skin' sung by Clare Teal with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra. (More info from www.chasingthedragonrecords.co.uk)
