RIP Glenn Croft
Glenn Croft (65) of Croft Acoustics passed in late November apparently from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
I have a number of his phono and preamp and have had many of his other designs over the years. I met him in 1987 in London and maintained email contact.
I had the Croft Super Micro preamp with wonderful phonostage. Very simple and affordable preamp that sounded wonderful with my McIntosh MC30 and Marantz 8b amplifiers and Spendor 2/3 and then Altec 604E speakers. Tried different affordable preamplifiers and phonostages, but Croft Super Micro was the best match to my system that time. I really enjoyed this sound for 5 years. Thank you Glenn Croft! R.I.P. |
Hi @noromance , Thank you for the good words. I had a number of components that left good memories and even nostalgia: Croft preamp, McIntosh MC30 power amplifier, Spendor 2/3 speakers, Lenco 78 turntable. There were other components that I was glad to get rid of like - Plinius 8200 amp or Dynaudio Audience 60 speakers, Nottingham Spacedeck turntable. |
