Audioquest Robin Hood Zero
Hi Bob,Did you hear the silver or copper William Tell? I’m sitting hear listening to the Copper Robin Hood. Just amazing. I’ve never heard such separation. It is in a different league in comparison to Castle Rock which I use to own. Just wonder ho... 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
Thank you. Happy New Year to you all also.  Seems like my 7R sounds best when I bump up dynamics with tubes such as the NOS Tesla’s and Siemens. Keep it more romantic in the pre. I tried it both ways. fjn04, wish I could have tried other cartridge... 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
You got it noromance.  Primaluna into the 7R and I’m liking it. Have to wire up the speakers out of phase since I’m using a non Croft pre. Like the Mullards in the Primaluna and Siemens in the 7R.  Sorry, I only drink craft Guatemalan or Mexican b... 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
Rogue Stereo 100 amp and Campion integrated are gone and now I’m back to the Primaluna Dialogue Premium Pre/Croft 7R Amp. Just sublime with the Auditorium 23 speakers cables and Triode Wire Labs “Spirit” interconnect. I’m done. Do have some fancy ... 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
Well. On second thought, now I’m liking the little old Sonneteer Campion. Killer. Don’t listen to me. Ha.  
Auditorium 23 with Dynavector 20x2l?
I got my SUP-200 used for about $1500. Works great with the 20X2L. Better then the Audio Note AN-S2 it replaced. I basically put together a Herb Reichert Gramophone Dreams system - Heavily modded SL1200/SME M2/9/20X2L/SUP-200.  I want to move up b... 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
I hooked my Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamp to my Croft 7R. I like it. A lot! Harbeth Compact 7s seem to respond great to hybrid tube/mosfet amps as others have said. Wasn’t expecting to like it better then my Rogue Stereo 100. New additions are... 
What solid amp to pair with DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier ?
Hard to understand how a Primaluna preamp could pass DC current. I think Primaluna has been reliable since they got popular circa 2004. The Primaluna and Rogue has responded very well to tube changes. Have all NOS tubes now. Further experimentatio... 
What solid amp to pair with DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier ?
Sorry about not paying attention to your post title. If you decide to go all tubes, the Primaluna/Rogue combo is completely sublime. I liked my Croft tube/mosfet amp better then my solid state Primare and Naim amps. I liked the Rogue Stereo 100 be... 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
I use to have a VPI Classic 1, ZU DL103, A23 SUT step up. Used it with the Leben phono. Was a pretty killer setup.  Really alive and organic. Wish I still had to compare to my SL-1200, SME M2-9, 20X2L, DV SUP-200 SUT, DV P75 Mk. 3.  
What solid amp to pair with DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier ?
My dialog premium pre arrives Friday.  I’m pairing mine with a Rogue Stereo 100 amp. It’s beating my Croft 7R tube hybrid and Naim NAP 180 solid state. If the Rogue Stereo 100 and Prologue Premium pre is good enough for Herb Reichart, it’s good en... 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
I haven’t even experimented with the tubes in the 25R regulation sockets. Stock JJs still in place and that’s maybe a dumb move. Think I’ll swap them out tonight.  
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
@noromance thank you!Maybe I shouldn’t give up on the Croft quite yet and should buy those Shuguangs and a few more Telefunkens. I had a pair of the Shuguang’s but they are long gone with the Luxman tube integrated. Problem is I’m liking the Rogue... 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
@noromance What are you using for your one line stage tube and your two phono tube sockets?  Still thinking about getting some NOS Telefunkens for the phono sockets.   
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
Wrote this long post and Audiogon of course refreshed the page with all its JavaScript and I lost it all. UrghhhhhSo if I had to write a summary of what i just wrote. Thought Rogue headphone amp and Primare amp was better then my 25R/7R but I went...
