Croft and LFD comparison with Harbeths

Both Croft and LFD work well with Harbeth speakers. The the LFD sounds a bit better than the Croft regardless of speakers used. I carry bith LFD and Croft, both being favorites of mine. If you are possibly still in the market, I can actually send you both a Croft and LFD to try in your home for a couple of weeks to help you decide. BTW, congrats on the 30.1, the 30.1 will keep you up late at night listening to music.

@generubinaudio i have a single chassis RIAA - RS that has been back across the pond to Glenn and came back w same issue, who does Croft service for you in USA ?

btw when it works, it is absolute phono magic

best to you

@tomic601 What issue?

@noromance HF noise in one channel, odd problem, parts changed by Glenn and a tech in USA, three sets of tubes, etc
i don’t want to sidetrack, Glenn makes awesome stuff.

I have had both in my system over the years (with the Harbeth C7es3, and I think that the LFD was better.  However, they were both phenomenal.  I think the convenience of the LFD without any tubes to worry about is another point in its favor.  LFD is the only SS amplification that I've ever heard that has the beauty of tubes. 

To be fair, I didn't do much tube rolling with the Croft when I had it.  With some NOS tubes, it might pull ahead of the LFD.  

This is really a win-win debate.  You can't go wrong!
