Description
For sale is a rare and spectacular combination of audiophile grade valve amplifiers.
The late Glenn Croft was well known in the industry for his amazing craftmanship and high end products.
This Series 4 power amp is a pure valve amplifier delivering a huge 100W of power. The Micro A pre amp is a masterpiece in itself, with two completely separated circuits, even down to the volume controls, the distortion and line noise is next to zero.
With military grade hardware used during construction it is big, it is heavy and it sounds fabulous.
The tube line up is as follows.
Pre amp Brimar ecc807 x2 Brimar 12bh7 x1 Telefunken el86 x1 Mullard 85a2 x1
Power amp Mullard 85a2 x1 GE electronics jw 188-5 x2 EH KT90 matched Quad Mullard 85a2 x2 Brimar ecc807 x2
In my ownership i have spent a lot of time with Paul Burgess of Vintage Audio Valves in Auckland working through tube combinations and settled on the above.
All the tubes were professionally installed and biased by a professional Valve audio specialist who also fitted an adjustable feedback loop controller to dial in and out how much rawness vs clarity you want.
I have since gone to a solid state system so this is no longer needed. Time to let someone else enjoy this masterpiece of a unit.
Happy to ship or potentially deliver depending on location. However Ideally id like it to be collected so I can demo the unit and ensure the new owner is fully satisfied.
