I purchased a used Croft Micro 25 preamp last year based on reviews & forums, and could not be happier with it. I would have zero regrets even had I paid full retail price.
However I never initiate conversations about it or the brand, because, I'm pretty certain I would be just as pleased with almost any other highly transparent, handmade tube preamp in my system.
Without denying anything akg said above--I'd suggest searching some of the UK forums for more information on the LS50+Croft pairing.
P.S. Best I ever heard the LS50s was with a PrimaLuna integrated.
