Sugden Masterclass IA-4: A Different Class | The Ear Like all of Sugden’s great amps the IA-4 is a Class A design so its power output of 33 Watts doesn’t sound very impressive given its bulk, but it has a lot of

This is my new favorite record. I had tickets to see them in Chicago on October 14th and they had to reschedule due to visa issues. I’m going anyway. (The Samples are playing!

In 1970, 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 filled in for 𝗥𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 on lead guitar with 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲 in San Antonio, Texas after their guitarist fell ill:
"I had a promoter friend who I did a lot of kind of gopher work for and stuff like that. And I had a local band, and Joe [Miller] was promoting that [Deep Purple] show, at a place called the Jam Factory," Cross recalled. "It was their very first show in the United States ever and someone advised them to get flu shots. So they did, and Ritchie Blackmore got very sick. And so the decision was made that they didn't really want to cancel the show if they could help it. And Joe Miller--who was kind of managing me at the time--said, 'Y'know, there's this guitarist in town who's a big fan of Ritchie's and he could probably step in.'
"The singer 𝗜𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻 was in favor of it, I remember, but Joe pretty much ran the band and was the one that made the decision that it was better to play than not play," Cross continued. "So I came down, and I had a Flying V and long hair, and I'm this big Ritchie fan. So we played the songs that I knew and then we jammed some blues. And they told the crowd Ritchie wouldn't be there. It was a great moment for me. And then, when they left town, I went to the airport and got to meet Ritchie, and he thanked me for covering for him."

Listen.

"Recommendation Award" plus a 5-star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review from the leading Polish Hi-Fi magazine - Audio-Video PL. Dziękuję! Thank you very much!

Highlighted quote (translated from Polish):

"Atalante 4 is in a strong position on the contemporary scene of loudspeaker sets at its price range. They play "evenly" enough to cope with virtually any repertoire, they are a bit warm, but not too much. They create the power of sound expected from speakers of this size, but they do not tire you out with too much fat bass. They are detailed enough, but not enough to be tiring. In addition, they have very good dynamics and are easy to control.

This time the French really succeeded. They say that three times is a charm.
Yes, these are the most successful Revival Audio models of all that have been created so far. Let's hope this high level will be maintained.

By the way, maybe it would be worth thinking about new finishes?"
