Dave - thanks for that. Very happy with my Croft Series 3 OTL for the time being but will keep an eye out for the 88 monoblock. I expect you don't see them on the second hand market very often.
...

Thanks Antonio

They do not produce many models -the model 5 pre and the model 88 monoblocks. Both these bits of kit get fantastic reviews.

Dear all,

Just purchased an Audiopax Model 5 pre-amp from Nick at the Emporium. The feedback from my first couple of weeks listening is that it is absolulutely wonderful. The pre-amp was designed...

Dear Westlower

Thanks for the review - great to hear the feedback on David's pre. I just happen to be thinking about getting David to build me a DAC and possibly a pre-amp as well. I am pretty...

Thanks Antonio - did your brother like the 5SE. The word is it is very good. David

Dear forum members

I have looking without success for an ARC REF 5SE pre-amplifier but have seen on e-bay a good condition REF 5 for sale that I am tempted by it. Word on various forums tells us...

Thanks everyone for the help. I think I will play safe and get a Shanti PSU since this will definitely work well with my Digione Signature. I like the idea of one box and a single switch. The Allo...

Jimbo This seems to be the same sort as you are using :...

Thanks for the information. The Shanti block looks good and should do the trick I think.

Have you got a link to a site where I can get them? David

I have just set up my Digione Signature - Chord Mojo digital front end running Roon on a RoPieee distribution. It all went together well and after I had managed to sort out the IP address of the Pi...

Got my speaker back from Steve at OTA yesterday after the fitting of new treble panel and clamp board. Sounds great now. I will probably get the other speaker serviced in a similar fashion in the New...

John - I will try and keep the 1/2nd June free so I can hear your set up. What amp / amps do you use to power the QUADs. I know I will never convince my wife that I need another pair but it would be...

Martin - the bass particularly with the Croft amp is very tight and tuneful even without the Strata V sub. I have set the sub at quite a low level so if just fills in the lower end but is in no way...

It is nice to support a business like Stevens who is so totally committed to the service they are providing and is so knowledgeable about the speakers. He told me he has trained an apprentice now so...

I am now considering combining, One Original and One OTA Quad per channel as a stacked array.
It should be a interesting experiment.
I can't recall listening to a speaker from the commercial world,...

One of my beloved QUAD 57 electrostatics has developed a problem with some distortion in the treble panel. I thought it was 20 years since they were serviced by One Thing Audio so I don't feel too...

Good luck with the kit. I have got a little line level pre Akido kit coming for me from the States at the moment. I run with a passive now but Adrian Parsons from Audioflair reckons the Croft sounds...

Jimbo

Thanks for you comments - I think you have the right word for this amp -magic - it just breathes life into the music like no other amp I have ever heard. I paid 850 pounds for it and the...

I am not certain if the Croft Series 3 is pre-1990 but it is there or there abouts. I managed to track down a Series 3 OTL amplifier, with the help of Adrian Parsons at Audioflair, from a serious...

Barry

It look like the Leak has an input impedance of 1M ohm so if I change the input resistor load on the Radford to 1M ohm then I think all will be well in terms of SQ.

Regards

David

The input sensitivity of the Leak has been lowered so I think it is now similar to the Radford. The CD ( a Shandling) has a remote volume control that you can set between 0-100 so as to adjust the...

Dear all

I have just inherited an home built amplifier from a friend that was built using the Radford ST25 circuit in 1986. The mains and output transformers were direct from the Radford factory,...

I have thought about doing that and I managed it when I first bought the Quads and got the boxes into the house without my wife noticing which was quite a feat! However getting the second pair in the...

You would be more than welcome to come round for a listen if you are ever in the York area but I don't think I will be letting these wondrous beasts out of my house I am afraid. It is no wonder they...
