    Its mind blowing he hand solders every component in extraordinary tight spaces. These amps are the work of a true artisan in the best possible sense and they sound superb.

    Glenn is a master at his work

    The only Croft I had was the integrated and it wasn't for me but I always wanted to try a Croft further up the chain but now owning Maggies won't really allow for that unfortunately

    Oh I forgot I also owned a Vitale pre and that was very good used with a pair of Quad II's

    You would be surprised what Glenns power amps can drive, especially the 7R monos.

    You may well be right James and I did consider getting some 7R's but the ML came up and I thought I'd like to try it, which I'm so glad I did

    However I will at some point try another Croft as I love what Glenn does

    I still have the Croft integrated down on my wish list. Someday I'll try one hopefully.

    I personally wouldn't buy the standard Croft integrated Shane... maybe the Integrated R though...

    I would save a few more pennies and go for the separate preamp and power amp or best still a Croft RIAA phono (if required) and a 25R line stage with a Series 7 power amp. There are always second hand amps coming up for sale.
