RIP Glenn Croft


Glenn Croft (65) of Croft Acoustics passed in late November apparently from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

I have a number of his phono and preamp and have had many of his other designs over the years. I met him in 1987 in London and maintained email contact.

Very sad to hear. I sold his amplifiers back in the 1980's. His 6550 based Series 4 power amp was really outstanding. For some reason he discontinued it in favour of lower powered EL84 based designs - possibly because it was too expensive to make. However, his later designs continued to be outstanding in terms of their combination of affordability and sound quality. RIP Glenn Croft.

@ noromance, i've never been a particular fan of 84s myself. I love them in a Vox AC 30. But for the same reason, I'm less fond of them in hi fi amplifiers!
