Bringing back a thread from the dead.
I am trying to find more info on the range of Croft (Micro?) preamps over the history of the company and found this thread very interesting. Unfortunately the Croft official website no longer seems to exist so can anyone point me to a decent 'history of Croft' web link so I can read up on them all...?
The links are long dead now but I found this page useful when I bought a MkIV Octal

Thanks for the link.
Cor blast from the past. I chose the Croft Epoch. I mega-modded it and I still use it as my weapon on choice over 11 years later. It's never skipped a beat and will probably see me out. There is a thread somewhere on here detailing my journey and mods that I did to the pre-amp.

(I have some more which I will have to find.)
That’s my old amp��Quote:

I have built a few valve amps over the years and there's something about being able to see the components and (in my case) sort of understand the circuit!
I see there are five valves in the 25 as opposed to just three in the phono version of the Basic - what are the valves used in the 25...?
Heres my old war horse, well some more info.

Ah yes - you sent me some photos by email, but at the time I couldn't find out how to post them here. Well to my shame I have now found out how to do it. Fortunately it didn't prevent the successful sale of your amp. Again my apologies.Quote:
