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.

@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.

@ 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!

@patrickdowns For some reason, I revisited this thread and just read your post. What a lovely obituary.

My note above mentioned cause of death as a motorcycle accident. I wanted to correct this info for the record.

Glenn's friend, Matthew O'Donoghue, on another forum said:
"No motorcycle accident, Glenn didn’t ride bikes. He passed away in his sleep."
