Connoisseur Sugden SAU-2 Tonearm In Fair Condition. It’s a beautiful arm that I had wanted to install but I don’t have the time. Problems are: - no cable. 5 pin din cable required - the arm lift has had a small crack but it seems to have been glued back - the arm collar screw feels in tight and I can’t undo it. Someone else may have better luck From Vinylengine: The SAU2 is a bit like a classic car : you wouldnt expect it to out-perform todays models, but its great fun to use anyway! Starting at the sharp end, the plastic headshell simply isnt a good design. Its a slide-on friction-fit to the tonearm, and mine was quite loose, cured for now by wrapping a bit of scotch tape round the tonearm shaft but thats hardly a permanent solution. Within the body of the headshell theres a slide-out plug which takes the cartridge leads on pins at one end and plugs into the tonearm at the other. The space enclosing it is so constricted that normal cartridge leads are squashed together and short out. The plug looks eminently meltable so I ruled out soldering leads directly to the pins. I had to source some ultra-thin cartridge clips and make a piece of plastic shielding to fit between them. The slot-holes taking the cartridge mount bolts arent very long, hence not much room for adjustment, and I found it impossible to get a good alignment with some cartridges. At the other end, theres no counterweight calibration dial for the tracking force so it has to be set with a guage or digital scale. The distinctly odd 45-degree offset gimbal arrangement is commendably friction-free and seems to work OK : the trick to getting the headshell to stay horizontal while on the record is to point the outer gimbal at the centre of the playing surface where the needle sets down, and then set the tonearm height so as to be exactly horizontal in the playing position. It does look distinctly strange to see it tilt when you lift it off, though. The anti-skate seems to function as it should, its never an exact science anyway. The base of the tonearm shaft takes a 5-pin male plug which isnt easy to find. I eventually got a suitable Cardas model from e-bay and made up a tonearm lead. Get an SAU2 with a lead if you can! Despite its odd features the SAU2 actually works quite well. I put it through some basic tracks on test records and whilst it didnt excel, it didnt disgrace itself either. Probably a near-match for the Pioneer PL12D tonearm as a reference point. For the music I listen to on a day-to-day basis (fairly mainstream pop/rock/blues/prog/folk from the 60s and 70s) its absolutely fine : I suspect its limitations would become apparent with more demanding classical orchestral music and such-like. It has some character and a nice 50s/60s vintage vibe about it, and Im enjoying using it with an AT91 on a Connoisseur BD1 turntable.

Sugden HeadMaster Headphone & Pre Amplifier The HeadMaster is a dedicated pre-amplifier and headphone amplifier with exceptional qualities of musical performance. It has been specially developed to extend the boundaries of audio pleasure to ultimate near-field listening conditions. It is also suitable for use with most commercial headphones. The unit is equipped with three stereo input facilities, a parallel tape output, and a switched pre amplifier output. These facilities create a very flexible piece of equipment which can operate as a stand alone dedicated headphone system or be combined as a high quality pre-amp in a total audio system. The special design features of the amplifier circuitry have been incorporated to enhance headphone performance but also facilitate a very high quality pre-amplifier performance. The amplifier signal path configuration is pure Class A constructed completely from discrete components. The application of the Class A circuit has been optimised to obtain its characteristic benefits of superb low level listening and low distortion. Particularly important with the use of headphones is the inherent avoidance with Class A configuration of odd and high order harmonic distortion. The amplifier is wide bandwidth with a very neutral and transparent sound stage through the full musical spectrum and volume range. Includes UK power cable. Condition: Very good cosmetic condition and perfect working order. Unit does have a few small marks but nothing that really stands out. Collection welcome or will send fully insured by next day delivery. Any questions - please ask.

The Fusion 21 is designed to compliment both the A21 and A21SE Signature integrated amplifiers. Utilising a high speed transport mechanism and on board memory, the Fusion 21 is a technically advanced CD player. To reduce jitter and control errors during play back there is a dedicated transceiver circuit, this re-formats data prior to the digital to analogue converter.A unique conversion method is employed without oversampling or filtering in the digital domain, instead we chose an analogue filter allowing a very wide bandwidth.Important as technology is in the digital domain, the potential can only be realised if the analogue output is capable of producing a high quality sound. The use of a class A output stage and trans-impedance amplifier ensures superb sound. A useful additional feature of the Fusion 21 is a digital input. This allows the connection of an eternal source like a music streamer or AV component.Perfect working order and has been serviced which included fitting a new belt. Cosmetic condition: Does have a few marks/scratches but is in good condition overall. Comes without remote but can be operated without.
