FS Croft Power Amp

[captain]

Brought this amp a few years back from a guy who done some work for Glenn and Amar was a prototype called a Phantom. Been back to Glenn a few time since (last time just over a Year ago) and has had lots of work done on it. It has also been sent to EFG London a few times as well more just to swap out resistors and caps for better. All caps in power supply are Jenson and output caps are Mundorf Silver oil (there are 4 more under the bigger caps). Power tubes are Mazda Solid Carbon Anode 6080’s (Rebranded Bendix 6080wb the best 6080 out there) which would cost well over £250 now if you can find them. The rectifier is a carbon anode 6336 which cost around £100. Tubes had the bios reset when last with Glenn and still test strong so still years left in them. I must have spent the best part of £2500 on this amp over the last 5 or 6 years not including the original cost. Check out photos one photo is a bit different as it is earlier version and has changed a bit. Power rating is 25W it is push pull on a single valve per channel. Sound absolutely stunning I know Glenn is very proud of it. Looking for £650 shipped.

I will be putting a really nice Croft Pre and a killer DIY DAC up for sale in the next few days.

Sure

[Reid Malenfant]

I'm tempted towards the warm glowing side :)

But I can't fathom this:-


Power rating is 25W it is push pull on a single valve per channel.
Are you saying it's single ended?

You can't have push pull with one active device :scratch:

[montesquieu]

I think this was settled futher up the post .. seems that somehow the push-pull cycles each use half of a double triode (actually always wondered whether that was possible but seems to be here, no doubt using some clever phase-splitting circuitry).

Actually that's the bit of it that intrigues me the most ....

[captain]

Yes been told that's what it does.

Also sale now pending
