Hi,

First of all I hope all AoS-ers are well, I’m not a frequent poster these days as I tend to have strayed from the upgrade path and am far less active in the box side of the hobby as such. I’m posting now as I know there’s much Croft enthusiasm on the AoS and it was indeed this forum that put me onto his gear some years ago when it was unknown to me (shame !) for which I’ve always been grateful.

Anyway, I weakened and speculatively emailed GC asking about possible 25R upgrades and he helpfully responded with two possible options…….There are some parts upgrades that can be done – resistors and capacitors. Then you could add the 25RS separate power supply box.

I just wondered if anyone had a view on/any experience of which of these would be the more worthwhile. Admittedly I have the option of leaving all well alone as it’s a superb pre, but y’know

My system is as follows:
Croft 25R/7
Redford STA 25 sometimes
Harbeth P3ESR
Project Classic tt/Goldring 1042 cart
Quad CDP2

Since the cart upgrade I tend to mostly play records

Thanks !
