Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?

@nordicnorm I have a Decca Super Gold too. Glenn Croft told me he'd choose it all day every day over any MC. I have had John Wright upgrade it with a paratrace stylus. No issues with tracking. Again, a great amp for phono.

I have had Croft Micro phone preamps since 1987 and love them. Currently using a 25R with Telefunkens and 5751 and it’s sublime. I’ve not heard the integrated but heard nothing but praise. I have read a review that suggests some higher order distortion than some amps but it makes music. I’d recommend it as a phono integrated if using a turntable. Roll out the JJ tubes for much improved performance over stock.

A note on @smrex13 comment. I agree but must add that you can alter the sound of the amp by changing the tubes. The stock are warm and a little rolled off. Swap in cheap Electro Harmonix will add detail if not a tiny bit brash. Gold Lions will remove that harshness. Telefunkens will bring the amp to a new level. Also look at 5157 tubes. Consider Croft separates too as an upgrade route.

@nordicnorm I bought a pair of the LS Shuguangs from Grant and love them in my 25R. Thanks for the head's-up.

@zek4u My 25R is dedicated to phono only. It was always verboten back in the day to hang a cable on the tape out unless necessary. You might try it with/without late at night to see if it affects SQ.

@zek4u Good to hear. It really is a great preamp.

@gochurchgo There is one for sale at the giveaway price of $650 here.

@zek4u One 12AX7 is a regulator for the driver stage. There’s also a neon voltage reference tube underneath it.
Yeah, it should come with an upgrade option with NOS Telefunkens. I run Treasure12AX7 LS and find them better than the Teles (after break-in of about 20 hours)

@zek4u
I am using the phono preamp with a pair of new Shuguang Treasure 12AX7LS in phono (dist. Grant Fidelity) and three Telefunkens -one in the line stage and two in the regulator.
The Shuggys need about 20 hours to break in but are excellent. Better than my Teles.

Dude, you’re all over the place!
So basically, are you saying you dumped the Croft 25R preamp for the Primaluna pre and a DV-P75 phono?
