Hello all - first post!
15 years ago, I stumbled across a Naim 42.0 preamp. I’ve never tried it out since I don’t have the matching power amp (another story) or a power supply.
Finally getting back into solid-state after a lengthy detour into tube stuff. After poking around the web, this forum seems to know a bit about Naim gear.
The label on the back reads “NAC 42X0” which I’m guessing is a reference to crossover. There is a second label over the original connection chart on the back panel and I’m thinking this might have been upgraded at some point. There is a shorting plug in the external power supply jack. It has MM phono boards as near as I can tell. Curious if this has a single rail board or a dual rail.
Anyhow, I’d love to get this up and running. I have decent DIY skills, but info on these units is a bit hard to find. I’m in Chicago and these are rare birds here.
