Just plugged the Croft micro back in after using a JVC ax z 1010 for a few months, and its not working, sound is distorted, using it with a 909, replaced the croft pre with a cheapy passive and that works, so fault is defo in the Croft.

Check the fuse, if not it's a valve.

Agree about the valve, not sure how a blown fuse would make it distort though?Originally Posted by hifi_dave

Thanks Dave, which fuse do I check? And how can I tell which valve is playing up?

I'm ahto.
it's mostly been the fuses in my experience. a blown fuse means heavy distortion.
they're at the back.

There's only 1 fuse at the back, appears fine.

Oh right makes sense now, I assumed it was just on the mains power.
