Do Anticables make any? If they do, I would recommend, had great results with their speaker jumpers. Divine Audio sell them in the UK, so no ordering from the US hassle.
A nad 3020i is
It's just hard to find interconnect,signal cable less than 60 cm 24" if yor lucky you can 50 cm, 20" canbles but that isn't much better than 60cm,24"

Is this for an upgrade to stock? I'd be careful considering price of the amp and the jumpers you might be spending similar a better amp (in sonic terms) would cost you. Entirely different story if you simply need them.
Also considering the age of the unit if was I to spend money on it I'd have it serviced as opposed to looking for sonic improvements with jumper cables. You'd gain more than from some cables. Any money spent would easily be recouped when selling the unit on.
Food for thought.

Not everyone's got a soldering iron, or the inclination but, as someone who's made all his leads, I say why not?
Not to save money (at £25 those Audioquests are not extortionate) but just to give you more options for the length you require (no quality compromise necessary)

going back to stock?
If you look at the links it can make a different like speaker jumpers.
I want a short pair i can use but have no clue where to finde one other than brands,quality i don't know and audioquest, the shortest i have found is 30 cm.
I think it makes no difference if it's amp jumpers or just short interconnect,signal cable, i just don't want long onces.
Price less or equal to the audioquest cable with shipping.

Designacable will make you a 25cm interconnect in a choice of nine different colours terminated and using top quality silver plated oxygen free copper Van Damme cable and gold plated REAN RCA connectors for £8.14 each .

I doubt you could make them to this standard yourself for less money .

£30 for a pair, hoped it would cost a bit less than that.Electro said:
I mean a good interconnect with just less cable shoud be able to buy one for £20 with shipping like QED Performance Audio Graphite, i jsut hate the thought of having to much cable when it's only for pre out and main in (as you can se i use Qed and inakustik interconnects)

By my reckoning it would be £16.28 for a pair of custom built cables to your spec. *yes3*gasolin said:
If you want them a little shorter than 25cm contact them and let them know I am sure they will make them for you, you can also have a custom label on them for a £1 extra , free shipping too !
Does no one on here see the absurdity of the suggestion that two very short (2cm?) jumpers are replaced by a length of wire?
Why not unpick all the copper tracks on the circuit board and replace those with wire while you are at it. Then there are those troublesome leads coming out of the output transistors. Lets snip them off and replace by wire as well.....
Cable is passive. All a cable can do is make the signal worse, therefore the best cable is the shortest cable. NAD's two little jumpers are ideal for the job. In the same way the shorting plates supplied with bi wirable speakers are perfect for the job and messing around with bits of wire can only make matters worse.

Don't know what you meanDougK said:
My turntable is stock besides a leather plate analogis mat six (all black, not black and red as on there website), isoacoustics stands for my speakers, sd feet for my cd player and polipods feet for my amp, a good dac, a hifi power distributor (about 9-10 years old) one good power mains for my cd player, other cables is good cables from Qed and one from inakustik and supra (not the cheapest,just above standard Quality).
That's it, nothing out of the ordinary
