The P51 is the power amp which accompanies the C51 pre.
Weighing about 10kg, the unit is able to deliver 50W RMS per channel and had the innovative feature of being able to be converted into a mono-block with the flick of a switch (for the 60's).
The P51 is known to be able to drive extremely demanding loads and many often used them with ESL(s).
In addition, the C51-P51 pair was often the reference set for many reviewers in the late 60's and early 70's.

Hi, I've recently inherited a P51 & C51 (in great condition), but I know they have not been used for a while. I have several leads with them, but need to know how to best to connect them to each other, and also to my more 'modern' cd player (NAD5420) & speakers JPW ML310's. I need to test them before putting them up for sale.
ReplyDeleteAny help would be appreciated!
Best to contact Sugden and request for a copy of the manual in PDF format.
