How have things changed over the last 60 years when it comes to hifi, or indeed have they at all? We listen to the wonderful Sugden ANV 50 amplifier and suggest that it's a perfect example of how some things remain constant in an every-changing world!

Cranage Hall, Cheshire,

Saturday 29th June, 10am – 6pm

Sunday 30th June, 10am -5pm 

Please join us at arguably the best hifi show in the country. The North West Audio Show is set in the beautiful grounds of Cranage Hall, Holmes Chapel and as usual, Doug Brady will be exhibiting and we would love you to stop by our room and say hello. We will be presenting something new for us: the Sugden ANV 50 integrated amplifier paired with some ProAc K3 loudspeakers along with a few other audiophile surprises...

The Sugden Masterclass ANV-50 is a new integrated amplifier released to celebrate Sugden Audio’s fiftieth anniversary. It is a unique design with many innovative features and specially developed audio circuits. As far as sound quality goes the K3 has a wonderfully electrostatic type of midrange very clear and detailed, with a dynamic bass response. We are sure the K3 will give customers who desire music from full orchestral to loud rock the desired results with ease.   Get Your Free Tickets Book your FREE tickets for the 2019 North West Audio Show HERE
