I recently had reason to look for information on Sugden.

Google gives:

http://www.sugdenaudio.com/

which leads (after a delay) to "Legend" web hosting's home page.
http://www.legend.net.uk/

Worse is to come:
www.jesugden.co.uk leads to another "Legend" page
saying:

"This Legend Communications Account is on hold / suspended"
which doesn't sound good.

Looking up their phone number in Yellow pages, I phoned,
and got an answering machine, at 2.30 in the afternoon (3/1/2006)

Anyone know anything? Have they gone bankrupt?

Can't remember them making anything which sold in fair numbers after the
Connoisseur turntable, which I had until I discovered the joys, and silence
, of belt drive. 1960s?

This is complicated by the fact that there were two un-related companies
called Sugden, A.R.Sugden and (I think) J.E.Sugden.

You mean apart from the A21? I know most of Sugden's
products have been a bit ... niche, bu the A21 was widely
praised.

I have an Au51p power amp, which is wonderful (but needs a repair,
which is why I was looking)
