Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....?

I was reading an article about the revived Adcom, and one of the Adcom higher ups referred to their $1695 power amplifier as Mid-Fi...clearly, it seems, the term to them, refers simply to price and the units place in the market place, not to it’s quality or value...clearly different people use the terms to refer to different things...

I think your NAD is a significant improvement over most vintage gear...and I love vintage gear...

agree with the jumpers, I used AQ upgrade jumpers on my NAD and others...

NAD and others refer to the metal bar that connects the preamp out to main in on the back of unit as jumpers...and yes the replacement jumpers are really a 1 inch interconnect

and if you get some great used deals, the cost of ownership is reduced, or even no loss when you sell...I did a few bigger than expected upgrades due to a great deal and after 5 years sold for essentially same price...though those deals tend to be rare...the key is to enjoy what you have...there sure seems to be lots of great systems here at multiple price points...
