Home. The Croft has been plummed into the system and it works. Too knackered to post any pictures. But it was Len Gregory's old phonostage that he asked Glen Crodft to specially make him. It's a bit heath Robinson but sounds very very good. It has (I think) valve regulated power supply. This unit was supposedly used to voice all Len's old carts that he used to sell. Looks like we have some COAX cable doing duties as intrinsic IC's. Listened to some Jazz and it sounds great. It's way too early for any comments about how it sounds. I'll post some pix tomorrow if I get time.

You couldn’t make this up. Now the router is buggered. Ordered new one for tomorrow. Anyways the valve compliment is x3 RCA 5691 my all time fave of the 6SL7 variety. It had x1 6336B valve which I think is a valve used in PSU regulation and x1 CV4004 and x1 8089 both Mullard valves. It sounds very very good with jazz and classical.
