FS Croft Vitale valve pre amp

[SteveW]

For Sale Croft Vitale Valve Pre Amp
Glen Croft designed and made valve pre amp with 2x Yugoslav Ei ecc83 plus 1x Yugoslav EI ecc 82

Fully functional with phono (mm) inputs.

Works fantastically well with Croft valve power amps.
Responds extremely well to tube rolling but original Ei valves included provide a very nice Croft sound as you might expect.

Good condition for age with the odd casing mark (tried to photograph).

£400 - reduced to £350 -delivered well protected in double box.

This is a fantastic price.

And it has so much potential to be modified.

Bargain.

It really is, so thank you Josie.
I’ve abandoned plans for an all valve second system, so this has to go.
Cheers

No probs...

Thats a shame, Steve... the Croft doesn't need a valve amplifier to get the best out of things.

For those looking in to this... This is a brilliant preamp to build upon. It will sound superb as it is anyway but there are lots of things you can have done to it which would bring it up to monster status... and for £350, it's a no brainer.

Use as-is or take it on as a project, either way it's a gonna be a winner.

Here's what I've had done to my Croft which might give some ideas.

Although very extensive, I had mine done in stages and each stage had a marked level of performance - And I haven't done with it yet :) And Glenn is a superb person to deal with. The great thing about these older Crofts is that you have lots of space inside.

Sold..
