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.
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.

Hi @noromance , Thank you for the good words. I had a number of components that left good memories and even nostalgia: Croft preamp, McIntosh MC30 power amplifier, Spendor 2/3 speakers, Lenco 78 turntable. There were other components that I was glad to get rid of like - Plinius 8200 amp or Dynaudio Audience 60 speakers, Nottingham Spacedeck turntable. |
@yoyoyaya I had the Series IV for a few years. I ran GEC KT88s and GE 6550 in it. Glenn was a fan of the Leak Stereo 20 and its EL84s. |
