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

@secretguy  per Stereophile’s 2012 Recommended Components about my NAD:

NAD C 375BEE: $1500
The 150Wpc C 375BEE offers five line-level outputs, two sets of preamp outputs, a front-panel minijack for portable music players, a built-in headphone amp, and an optional phono stage ($199). Like models in NAD’s Masters Series, the C 375BEE uses PowerDrive technology to maximize the dynamic power sent to the speakers. Though its headphone amp and phono stage lacked sparkle and detail, the C 375BEE’s overall sound was tight, dynamic, and fast, with crystalline highs and well-extended bass. “A competition crusher,” concluded Sam. Though he admits the NAD belongs in Class B, he’d choose it over many of the amplifiers in Class A. “So good, for so little money, that few are willing to believe it. Are you, JA?” he asks. (Vol.32 No.10)

@zlone  Thanks for the info! I had read about swapping out the jumpers and bought these, hope they are decent, just have not installed them yet.  Is it easy to do?  Also, what pre-amp did you use?  Thanks again!  John

@zlone Thanks!!

Thanks everyone.  Really, I am just having fun with this and was curious as to opinions on the gear.  Not for affirmation, again, just curiosity mostly.  With my hearing, it probably does not matter too much, just starting to push the boundaries "upward" to see what differences I can discern.  Either way, its all fun to me.  Just love the music and collecting the gear is a blast too......

@ghdprentice Thanks for the info and makes sense.  Before going to the NAD, my "flagship" receivers have been a Sansui 8080, Sherwood SEL-200, Kenwood KR 7600 among others of the sort.  I do really like them along with the various speakers I have bought including Bozak, ADS, Dynaco, Advent, KLH, KEF, Clement and Solus.  

Now I am moving the NAD and Thiels into a main room to test it all out and see how it sounds.  More fun times ahead!!
