Bigbird- Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Item Condition: Excellent Shipping Options: Pickup available and you can audition.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Reservoir State: VIC Payment Method: bank transfer , cash on collection Reason for selling: Upgrade Further information: Ok guys so up next for sale is the wonderful Croft 25R with upgraded RS linestage. grab a bargain while you can as one of these will cost you £1400/$2500 new from Glenn It was originally bought by my friend Roger brand new from divine audio UK. He then sent it off to Glenn Croft for the RS upgrade to the line stage so it now takes a 12bh7a valve instead of ecc83 . I’ve had it now for around 2 years and it has been flawless . It really does offer huge bang for buck for its price . I’m only moving it on due to an upgrade . These respond very well to valve rolling and I’ve had great success with 50s/60s RCA 12bh7a on the inputs . For me nothing gets close to them in this amp. It currently has a vintage Sylvania yellow label 12bh7a on the input , and a mullard 85A2 with stock JJ ECC83 on the regulation stage . I found that having Genelex golden lion ecc83 on the regulation instead of the stock JJ added more finesse ,grip and focus . Theyre a real good quality modern day valve that can be bought cheap and makes a really nice difference so worth doing by the new owner .alternatively any good quality low noise NOS valve would work well in the regulation stage if you have some . I do have a very low hours 1962 RCA 12bh7a that I can include for a good price and it’s well worth it in my opinion. More holographic , more finesse , more details, quieter , not too warm and cuddly and a nice touch of richness . Im offering this at over $1000 off new price , plus postage from Melbourne via a carrier of your choice. If exporting I use UPS express which will likely add up to another £100/$180 to the bill depending on location . It usually takes around 5 days or so to the UK from here, sometimes a bit less .They will be fully insured for peace of mind. As soon as funds reach my bank I will book a collection. Roger kindly provided me with the receipt so we can prove its originally from the UK and VAT has been paid on them already so it should be exempt from any fees if heading back that way cheers Photos: PLEASE READ If you include any reference to pricing whatsoever in this section (excluding RRP), your ad will not be approved If you are advertising multiple items, you must post one bulk price only, or post seperate ads for each item If you don't include photographs of the actual item being sold, your ad will not be approved You understand that a reasonable donation for selling fees is expected upon successful sale of your item - if you have previously sold items and not made a donation, your advertisement may not be approved.

Ooogh Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Even cheaper than it appears, you would probably have import tax and freight to add on top if purchasing new direct from the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
