The A21SE STAGE TWO is a compact phono stage from Sugden Audio, sharing the A21SE integrated amplifier's naming, built into a remarkably small chassis. The A21SE STAGE TWO brings Sugden's most storied Class A engineering heritage to a space-efficient dedicated phono preamplification format.

Key specs that matter

One balanced and one single-ended input are provided. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. At a remarkably compact 60 x 140 x 77mm and just 2.0kg, the A21SE STAGE TWO maintains a space-efficient, lightweight phono-stage chassis.
