Listen to this as soon as possible.

  I'm still using and loving the Croft, and all the other parts of the system I posted about in May. I have an unused SAE cartridge, the same body, but with a hyper elliptical stylus. I'll install it when the one I'm using is done (and send the worn one for retipping). I keep wondering what a belt or idler drive table might sound like, but am very content and happy where things are.
  Do check out the band, R+R= NOW. They play exilerating jazz, with finger on the pulse newness, and deep immersion in jazz history, in the same moment.

Current System.

Croft phono integrated (not from the seventies), Technics SL-1401, SAE 1000-E, Altec 14s.

Belated Happy New Year
