Against the obvious alternative of buying a newer budget preamp at this money, this Croft looks like a strong deal: £795 sits well below the £937 25th percentile and a long way under the £1,080 median for recent GBP listings. That makes it a proper bargain rather than just “reasonable,” especially for anyone specifically after Croft’s character and build.
The Micro 25 is well liked for its lively, open presentation and easy musical flow, so this is the sort of preamp that can anchor a serious system without needing much fuss. At this price, the main attraction is value: it’s low enough to leave room for service, tubes, or cabling if needed, and still land under the typical market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Croft is a British hi-fi brand associated with Glenn Croft, whose roots go back to the late 1970s in Wolverhampton, England, when he was repairing and modifying valve audio equipment. By the early 1980s, the Croft name was established in specialist audio, and the company has been in business for decades rather than operating as a new boutique label.
The brand is best known for amplification, especially valve and hybrid amplifiers and preamplifiers; its phono stages and integrated amplifiers are particularly well regarded among vinyl-focused listeners. Croft is not known as a maker of speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, but rather as a focused electronics specialist built around simple, hand-crafted designs.
In the market, Croft sits in the niche audiophile and specialist British hi-fi segment: neither mass-market nor ultra-luxury, but respected for musical, tube-based sound and a loyal following among enthusiasts. Its appeal is strongest with buyers who value classic circuit design, understated engineering, and a distinctly old-school hi-fi character.
