Hello Bob
Over 12 months ago I remember you advising me on Naim preamps. I had just switched from my 42.5 to my 72 because of the extra inputs available. I never liked the thinness of the 72 and much preferred the 42.5.
I tried various options of Les's and Neils boards and board removing options but the only thing what made it really better was the Teddy psu.
Unfortunately the madness of upgraditis had gotten hold and I ended up with a 52/Supercap which was and is very satisfying. But as I said the madness has taken hold and after a CB NAP250 which lifted it yet again I am now on a pair of 135's. And so it goes on ------
Pete the 42.5 is a peach, it does most things well but lacks detail which the 72 has and also speed; the 72 does need a hicap to bring back the weight and bounce.
I don't doubt the 52 is better, as it should be.
