Withdrawn: Croft Acoustics RIAA RS Valve / Tube Phono Stage Amplifier * Made In England

Excellent condition in fully working order. All components are point to point wiring (no circuit board). Made In England. It is rare to get Croft Acoustics here as I have to import from UK. Croft makes one of the best amplifier and it is beautifully matched with Harbeth (I'm currently using its pre micro 25 and power 7 amplifier)

The RCA Socket has been upgraded to ETI Gold socket.

Reason for selling is I'm downsizing my setup, currently using on Rega Planar 1 and initially planning to upgrade to a better turntable but right now the plan to put on hold and prioritising other commitments. Croft RIAA RS is kind of an overkill for my entry level turntable.


The Croft Acoustics RIAA RS Phono Stage is the top of the range two box phono stage design, taking inspiration from the Micro 25 R Pre Amplifier and utilising the power supply of the 25RS. Featuring an all valve signal path with heavily regulated power supplies and two toroidal mains transformers. The RIAA RS is ideal for all Moving Magnet cartridges and can also be used for high output MC cartridges, and offers impressive depth, detail and scale that only a valve design and a Croft product can.

The RIAA RS offers improvements over the phono stage included in the Micro 25 RS, characterised by impressive detail and scale, with lifelike precision and an authoritative valve soundstage. Thanks to the added separate power supply, even greater weight, detail and scale is offered.

Specs:
Input impedance 47k ohms.
Output impedance 500 ohms.
Sensitivity 2mV for 0.5V output @ 1kHz.
Valve complement 1 x 12BH7A, 4 x ECC83, 2 x 85A2.
