Birthday present one - Moon 761

Birthday present two - someone else endures the break in. Pass it back when done!

Lol

Happy Birthday and enjoy your new amp!!!

I would have bought a 340i if the dealer didn't ignore me (I showed up for an appointment but he was on the phone for 20 more minutes so I left).

At least I wish I could hear one. Some day.

 

Had a similar experience. Went to a local Audi dealership years ago for a test drive appointment when I was shopping for a new car. Two people were on the phone. Few were socializing. The rest were just walking around ignoring me. I stood by the greeting desk for 10 minutes listening to their phone conversations. I felt like I was a ghost. It was The  Sixth Sense type of moment. Not a single person looked at me, said anything or acknowledged me in any way. Outcome? I’m enjoying my 4th BMW now. 
 

Re: @ackerdo ’s comment about upper midrange emphasis with the 761 - FWIW I heard this with the 791 pre + DAC, but did not hear this at all with the dCS DAC. It sounds like you have a Mola Mola Makua which is an incredibly neutral preamp (I own two of them) so that’s not the cause either. I can only conjecture that the 791 pre is somewhat complementary/compensating of the 761 amp in that area, or there is something else interacting with the particular configurations you’ve tried. Certainly something to watch out for if you’re not going to use it with the 791. I’m still mulling the 761 with my Makua and Audiovector R3 myself.
