Croft Micro 25R Line Out

[Haselsh1]

I will admit that a number of years ago on connecting my first Croft pre I used line out. It was an error I never repeated and I'm happy to say my speakers lived to tell the tale. I've never confessed to that before !

Yes man, I did exactly the same and it immediately tripped the protection on my Audiolab monoblocks.

When trying a 'line out' connection, it might be wise to insert a stereo pot at minimum setting between the line out and whatever is to be tried with it. A passive pre-amp will do the same.

You don't want to connect anything that has a low input impedance.

This output isn't buffered so I would say 50K ohms minimum, preferably 100K. Do you know the input impedance of your headphone amp?

It depends what the 'spec's' were when the Amp was built. Glenn makes them all to order and if a 'buffered' Line Out has been asked for then he does add a Valve Buffer stage.

Didn't know that Jim

I thought the fixed line out would allow the Croft 25 to be used as a phono stage into a line input on another (presumably line only) pre amp.
Is that wrong?

That is also correct.
