I thought I’d be fine with the twin volume pots but as time has gone on, it’s become somewhat frustrating.
I have thought about approaching someone like Deco to see if they can change one of the volume controls for a rotary balance but so far I haven’t done anything about it. And if I go that way then I’m not keeping the amp original - which it is at the moment (I haven’t even taken the cover off)!
Before the Croft, I had purchased a Quad 303 and pre-amp but somewhat rashly, I returned it as the amp produced an audible hum. If I had my time over again, I’d have waited for the repair rather than taking the refund.
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read about Quad and Tannoy being the ideal pairing and if the speakers stay with me, then I’m tempted to give it a go.
There's original and then there's original.
I ordered my Croft Pre Amp with a single volume control and Glen made it like that, so no additional hole to blank off.
