A hopeful bump

... are you sure I can't twist your arm? Nah I'm joking - I want the single box Croft Integrated.

Yes that helps. Did you ever listen to the Croft integrated (which is a passive pre with 7 power amp in one case)? <-- this is what I am after to save shelf space.

Looking at your signature - you went to town on the Croft pre-amp albeit hooked up to the simple little 7 power amp.

The link does not work for me anyway - would have been interesting to have a read nevertheless.

But as you say Dave - you as an ex-dealer of Croft did not find that to be the case.

.... and thanks for this find on PFM - I would prefer the integrated but that did sell at a nice price!! I would have been too late because I have only just read your post and it's sold!

I shall...

Thanks for that find (sorry slow reply just back from Malta / Gozo holiday) - yes a little expensive as you say I am looking to spend around the £800 mark (if possible) for a line integrated in...

Yes I've seen that - I would rather save shelf space and have the integrated if ever one arises.

Thanks everyone for replying - I thought I would bump this up ...

Thanks again - I guess single pot as installed by Croft doesn't matter so much but - funnily enough - I would slightly prefer the twin-pot variant.

It's so sad about Glenn. But yes, this highlights a point, I would rather have an original unmolested Croft even with the inconvenience of having both the volume controls - Glenn was quite genius...

I guess everyone loves their Croft - but just in case ... if you lovely people do have one give me a nudge.

Anyone ?

I have a whole lot of Croft - and will soon enough whittle it down to one set.

Anyway I have the 25 and 25R preamps along with their matching 7 and 7R power amps "unmodified".

But I am only...

Do these fit the Magnepan LRS ?

What an amazing review! Is that all true???

Great sounding DAC this ... I have one and haven't used it for a while - dunno why - I guess it's just me jumping about from DAC to DAC experimenting with sound. This DAC does respond very well when...

This goes to show that despite the Audiolab being excellent value for the money - it is just that!

It takes a higher-end player like this Marantz to show you that this is really what us...

Wow your system certainly is no slouch. How does your dedicated CD Transports fare against the SW1X streamer as a transport?

Now this may seem like an unfair question based on the price difference...

The later (affordable!) DACs don't seem to reach the Arcam's musicality "as it stands unmodified" - so I am keen to see just what else this old DAC is capable of (I have two of them).

The caveat...

Hi sorry I was late getting back to you - but I finally read your post last night.

I was inspired by an advert on OCX here:...

OK I will add that to the list... good idea thanks.

Thanks - I'm not really a DIY type when it comes to electronics - but that is interesting.

It's just that this DAC already sounds excellent so I want to push the boundaries and see what else is...

Sorry this post is in the wrong section - can a moderator move it for me please?

I have an Arcam Black Box 1 which I think has great potential - and plenty of space to work under the hood - except I can't do this work personally.

I have a reference where a BB1 was upgraded in...
