NAC72 CD input

[John_73]

Hi folks!

Just received a mint looking 1995-era NAC72 pre (have a NAP140 arriving tomorrow).

Just had the top off to see which cards are included:

324/7 (x2)

325/7 (x1)

NA729/1 (x2)

NA321/5 (x2)

I bought it on the understanding there were no phono boards (I have an external stage at any rate). However if I trace the CD input wires to the circuit board there's a series of pins there but no cards, or even jumper wires, at all. Is this right, or should there be a couple of cards there to enable the CD input to work?

Many thanks,

- John

Are there two small links on the motherboard just by the side of the pins?

In this picture:

you can see that the link has been cut as phono boards are installed.

If the wire links are present there is no need for any boards as the signal will pass straight through.

Thanks for that Malcolm - yes I have links

I take it from what I have read elsewhere on this site it is OK to pull out both tape boards (324's).

I'll be using the Tuner input for a second DAC so I presume there is nothing I need to do here?

Lastly, I presume if I relink the wires next to the space where the phono cards would be (if I had any) that becomes another straight through line level stage? So I could run my Trichord Dino into that BNC input?

Thanks,

- John

Yes, if you don't use the tape out facility

Yes
