Croft 25R and 7R tubes

[Gibo69]

Great set up you have there. I think the 25R/7R has a perfect synergy with SHL5Plus. I've not tube rolled that much with the 7R (which I've been borrowing for a while), but a Brimar ECC83 works well. Regarding your TT search, I really like the 12" Ace Space and recommend it. I'm currently using it with a Miyajima cart and it works nicely. I may end up selling it if I get hold of a Fidelity Research tonearm, since they are supposed to be the perfect arms for Miyajima. If so, I could let you know.

Hello Elephantears,
Thanks for the suggestion regarding the 7R.
Any specific model of Brimar you have in mind ?
If you decide to sell the Ace Space arm I am surely interested.
Let me know.
Best regards

Thank you very much.

The GE 5751 will lower the power a touch but I think you get a better sound and yes you need 2. I think the Mullard is the CV4004.

Good luck

Jimbo,
May I ask you which version of the GE JAN 5751 you use ?
I saw a post in this forum regarding Tubes for Croft Amps, that suggested a "GE JAN 5751 red tip triple mica black plate"....
How yo recognize this valve ? Are there lot of fakes around ?
Thanks.

Hi Aris, that is the one. Just compared it against a 1962 RCA 5751 and I think the JAN GE 5751 is better!
