Not done it on a nad, but in the past on a different amp I used some RCA splitters like these ones on aliexpress to jump across 2 RCA sockets. (mine had an RCA socket on the back, not 3 plugs) They only work if they are the standard spacing which my old amp did have. The supplied jumpers were just a bent piece of wire, nothing fancy at all - went into the center of the RCA and the radius of the bends meant that it couldnt touch the ground on the RCA.

The NAD importer is Wildash.

Drop them a line... or maybe get in touch with one of their retailers?

Update. I worked out a solution after a looking around on the net. It seems to be popular audiophile thing to replace the jumpers with expensive plugs and wire to loop out the terminals. I bought some gold plated RCA plugs and soldered a short length of 14 gauge speaker wire between them. The plugs were $1 each. Freight was $8. I had the cable so cost was $14 all up for three sets (left, right and centre channel). The amp is internally grounded so only the centre pin is wired.

The attached picture shows a standard jumper(bottom). The middle jumper is very similar to what mine looks like.

The thing is that by doing that you have made an even larger unshielded loop of cable between the 2 plugs, so would pick up even more interference from whatever other cables you have stuffed in behind it.

Just because audiophiles do something doesn't mean its a good idea. In fact quite often the opposite.

You may be right but it sounds fine to me. There's no shielding on the OEM jumpers and I don't have the original jumpers. I picked the amp up very cheap as no jumpers = no sound!

 don't worry about it.

that short piece of cable won't pickup any more interference than the stock jumpers.

plus your other cables (signal or power) aren't likely to generate interference unless they are faulty or poorly made.

sit back and enjoy your music !

ps.. what model nad did you get ? i haven't seen any with the type of jumper in your photo

Seems like a lot of trouble and expense to go to when any short piece of solid wire of the right gauge bent into a U will do exactly the same.

Fair call but I didn't have any of the correct gauge wire and trying to source the correct gauge wire in a short length is probably more trouble than buying the RCA plugs online and 10 minutes of time soldering in the workshop.

It's a T743 surround receiver. I'm using it in my Garage and was just looking for any cheap amp to power some speakers I had. The bonus is that it has an RDS tuner. I've plugged in a bluetooth adaptor so I can listen to music and podcasts.   

I used a photo I found online as an example. I haven't seen any like that either, the standard NAD jumpers are usually just a loop of metal.
