Quicksilver (Non-Remote) Linestage & Croft Micro 25 Basic Preamps


Can anyone comment on the sound quality and any issues (excessive gain, noise, etc.) with either of these preamps? I'd be using it line level only of course (2V output DAC source) and SS amps

I've been using Croft preamps (with built-in phono stage) since the 80s. Very quiet but like any amp, depends on the tubes being low noise. As far as I know, the line  stage has unity gain.

That input source  "crosstalk " happens on a lot of equipment.    Best bet is to mute or turn off other sources.
