Title: Sugden Masterclass cd player	Rating: 5.00 views:3266
I am now the proud owner of a Sugden Masterclass cd player :) We are talking small changes here and one thing that is clear to me is how good the Marantz cd 17mk11 ki is. The Sugden has a little more detail is little more open. The soundstage is Deeper. Bass is bigger. Overall sound is a little less digital. In some repects alot of money for the small inprovements. (such is hifi) One of the best things about the Sugden is that it does not seem to favor any sort of music over another and does a very good job with those average pop cds (the wife seems to have so many off) Moving to something like John Mayer - Continuum or Faithless - No Roots you get a very real sense of weight behind the player. Build is good but so is the Marantz witch I think will replace the Arcam in the dinning room. All in all this is a player I can and will live with for a very very long time. To my ears it all matches well with no system weak link. I really think I can not inprove things any more, the gains are just getting far to small for the outlay. Balanced vs Unbalanced, balanced xlr gives me a fraction more detail and a fraction less warmth. I like unbalanced better in my system. So comes my journeys end.
