Time to move on my Croft 25R to accommodate other system changes. Bought new in 2010 this 25R is in excellent condition. This is the version with built-in MM phono stage. In 2011 it was upgraded to what I understand is 'S' level spec by changing key resistors in the phono stage (4) and line stage (2) to non-inductives. This is an upgrade within the existing casework. So it has some of the sonic benefits of the 25RS. To my ears the biggest single improvement was the background silence. There was also a greater sense of space around the instruments - subtle but there. A very well regarded pre and quite rightly so. Asking £900.
