Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi?

Parasound Halo P3
Parasound Halo A21
JPS Labs Superconductor2 BiWire Cable
JPS Labs Superconductor2 Balanced XLR Interconnects
Totem Acoustic Mani-2 Signatures
Totem Acoustic T4L Stands
Totem Acoustic Beaks (2 pair)

I have yet to deceide on a CDP, and the JPS Labs stuff is shipping right now. Is my setup considered mid-level or hi-end to users on this board and what do you think is my weakest link? And what should I be looking at for CDP's?

if your here your rig is hifi!

where does midfi end & hifi begin?

hifi sound can be had for very little cash & lowfi sound can be had with a ton of cash so if your happy with it its hifi for sure.

Since there seems to be no distinction between mid-fi and hi-fi on this forum I will just keep my stuff and go home :-). Ok for a CDP a Rega Planet might be in order. Or there was a $100.00 CDP reviewed over on audio asylum that was getting rave reviews.

Remember to take the system as a whole.

Slov_dream, I agree with your assessment of the A21 - I drove Dynaudio 52's with mine, and those are 85 db sensitive, with a nominal 4 Ohm impedance. You should be fine.

nice setup. i also have a pair of mani 2's with classe and odyssey components. I have been thinking about going to a more powerful amp for the mani's, like a classe ca-301 or mcintosh mc352. as for a cdp, check out the esoteric or the musical fidelity sacd player ($6000+). Don't go cheap on your source components.
good luck
