Croft vs Upgraditis [emoji1677][emoji43]
Now that ive managed to volley that pesky little upgrade bug in to row Z ,i thought id share a few pics of the current noise maker.
Firstly id like to send a huge thankyou to Roger (Blodger) of this parish for being a top bloke throughout the purchase of his babies.
It probably wasnt an easy decision to make to let these go, but one mans loss is another mans gain so i jumped at the chance when i saw his recent advert in the classifieds and after shuffling my gear about within 24hrs it made this dream possible.
Having been constantly searching for that magical sound for a few years now via various components manufacturers (regas,cambridge,B&W, Naim ,linn , spendor and etc etc) i can finally say that ive hit the peak and the need for MORE is well and truly gone now that the Croft combo has landed.
The 25r and 7r monos were recently upgraded by Glenn to the latest top spec and with the newest spec transformers. Theres a NOS Sylvania 12bh7 in the linestage and NOS Mullards and Edichrons elsewhere in the pre and power amps.
Detail is probably even steven with the RSL Naim 72 pre but it has shown the Naim setup a clean pair of heels elsewhere with a more natural, open, airy ,spacious presentation and i think thats down the monos.
They are absolutely stunning and im one very happy camper indeed , there was only ever going to be one winner in this fight and the Crofts get the KO in the first round.
Bye bye upgrade bug
