FOR SALE: Croft 25RSLS + RIAA/R + 7R pair

[Antinchip]

Change of direction means my Croft amplification is now up for sale. Details follow;

25RSLS: Bought originally from classifieds on Pinkfish in late 2018 and then sent to Glen for upgrade. Started life as a 25R phono pre-amp but was modded by Glen last year to replace the phono stage with the RSLS line stage fitted with one 12BH7A per channel, and fit “better” pots. This remains one box. Valve complement comprises; 2No RCA 12BH7A, 2No JJECC83S, 1No Mullard 85A2. Line stage valves each fitted with 1 x Herbie’s Ultrasonic SS Damping Instrument. Original packaging included. Asking price £850 delivered to a UK address.

RIAA/R: Bought from classifieds here late 2016. "Upgraded" valve complement comprises; 1No Tungsol 12BH7 grey plate, 2No Tesla ECC83, 1No Mullard 85A2. Original packaging included. Asking price £650 delivered to a UK address. SOLD

7R Monos, pair: Bought new in July 2016 from Audioflair. "Upgraded" valve complement comprises 1No RCA 12BH7A, 1No Mullard ECC83 (NOS), 1No Mullard 85A2. Original packaging included. Asking price £1,850 delivered to a UK address.

Content to sell individually and happy to consider a discount for sale as a whole package. I also have a box of valves left over from all the "tube rolling" which includes 8No JJ ECC83's; 2No JJ ECC99's and 2No Electro Harmonix 12AX7EH. I will offer these for sale at £10 each delivered or might be able to include some/all (and 4No spare silicone valve rings) to sweeten a package deal.

I will also be putting up a Rothwell Headspace MC head amp, which I used for my Dynavector XX2-Mkii before the Croft phono.

All have been in use since purchase, most recently driving a pair of Tannoy Mansfield 15” HPD’s and are in very good condition. Please see photos below.

Thanks for looking.

I could be very interested in the RIAA R. I'm planning on upgrading to the 25RS but am wondering if it would be 'better' to have a separate phono stage and get a 2 box line stage pre.

I've sent an email to Glen, asking his opinion.

[Stranraer]

Just a line to say my set-up is a 25RS pre and 7R monos and they make a beautiful listen.
Also, very easy to contact Glenn Croft if servicing etc is required.

Thank you for your messages. I had a prior offer on the RIAA/R and can confirm that this is now sold. I have updated the original post.

One down, three to go!

[kininigin]

No worries, you've gotta be quick in this game!

[Antinchip]

Midweek bump.

The Croft 25RSLS has now sold. Thanks to the buyers and all who expressed interest. It was good to converse with fellow members.

Cheers
