Re: Sugden Pre-Amp

Are you sure that the C51 is inherently lacking in dynamics and bass or just that yours is right now.
If my memory is correct, UHF magazine used to have the C51 in their reference system and felt it was at a level above the matching power amp.
One of my a vintage amps had these symptoms recently. Cleaning all connections, switches and pots with De-oxit brought a startling improvement. There had been no obvious problem of static or noisy switches but I assume that there was just enough oxidation to degrade the sound in more subtle ways.
I've not heard either the C51 or the C128sl but I would expect them both to be potentially pretty good. I say potentially because condition and set-up can vary considerably with vintage equipment.
