I bought it around 2000 directly from parts connection, which I think was part of Sonic Frontiers at the time. Relatively rare and unknown in Germany. Very nice amp. Do you know it from listening to it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 No, never heard it. But I’ve owned a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 amp and an Anthem preamp. Many moons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT88 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 BTW, the most inconspicuous device on the shelf is the black one with the two knobs, on the right middle shelf left below the old Quad pre and tuner. This is the simplest unit Glenn Croft ever built, in the UK. RIP Glenn. I bought it more than 30 years ago in London (no Amazon then). It is a pre amp with a nice phono mm input. The output is weaker than the line input. The gold colored amps on the left middle shelf are Leak Stereo 20. The input sensitivity is very high, 0.15 V for full power. That's why this Croft preamp fits like a marriage made in heaven with the Leak Stereo 20. The Croft is only a cathode follower. No gain but impedance matching, and therefore less voltage in the output than in the input. And for me the proof that it sounds better than passive preamps even if the input voltage in a power amp is sufficient. While I'm telling, at the very bottom left is a Sansui receiver my father bought in 1968. A Sansui 300L. That was my first impression of listening to stereo at all. I had it restored 10 years ago, it's emotion...and still good sound. Speakers were Sansui SP10, full range driver in small cabinets. I still have them and they still work very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do you have it now? I been looking and looking at that preamp in their site. what really got me is the parameter of the tone control which is really a must for my recording amp setup.

henry4841 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Not sure if you have electronic skills but a far better way to match tubes is to measure dissipation of the tubes using ohms law in your amp. Old tube testers are very suspect unless refurbed by qualified tech. I can explain how if anyone interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'm interested and thank you. Just keep in mind my purpose is for personal use only (not a professional). I just need to know if the tubes has the same reading as the other one like within 10% match so I can plug both tubes balanced in per channel. Please let me know and thanks, CCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
