Naim NAC 42.5n Pre Amplifier with MM boards (1987) boxed with 3 month warranty Naim NAC 42.5n Pre Amplifier with MM boards (1987) boxed with 3 month warranty A classic from iconic British brand Naim Audio. The NAC 42 was first put into production in 1979 and lasted until 1988 when it was replaced by the NAC 62. The unit we have here is a late second generation 42-5 which was built in 1987, and comes in good condition, with a few slight blemishes please see photographs. It has the NA322/2 Moving magnet Phonoboards fitted. Will be supplied in original factory packaging and of course comes with our standard 3 month warranty. NB SNAIC cable in final image is NOT included. Naim Say…. Naim Audio preamplifiers may be used with a variety of power amplifiers besides our own. They require an external regulated power supply. The power supply for your preamp is very important to its performance. The Naim NAP110 and 140 power amplifiers have a suitable regulated supply for the preamplifier built into them, though you may use a separate power supply if you wish. If you are using a Naim NAP 250 (or an amplifier made by another manufacturer) you will need a Naim SNAPS or HiCap preamp power supply. With NAP 135s, you will need a HiCap. A Link Plug is supplied with your preamp to fit the 240° 5 pin DIN socket on the right of the rear panel (the socket used for connection to a HI-CAP.) Leave the Link Plug in place unless you have a HiCap. The NAC 42-5 has three switch-selectable inputs, for phono, tuner, and tape. Either tuner or tape input may be used for compact disc. The tape socket combines input and output for recording and replay. There is a mute/monitor switch. The tape monitor switch allows you to listen to the output of the tape recorder whilst recording the source that you have chosen with the selector switch. This can be useful with a 3-head machine to monitor the “off-tape” signal while making a recording. In the “normal” position, the source selected will be fed to the power amp. In the “monitor” position, the output from tape 1 will be heard, unless tape 1 is chosen on the selector switch, when the output of tape 2 will be heard. With the monitor switch set at “mute”, there will be no output to the speakers, from any input. Tape, tuner, and NA 326 conversion of phono input, will accept up to 7.5V rms and are thus suitable for the output from a professional tape recorder or a compact disc player.
