@rkosak congrats on the 761 a very fine amp! I bought mine brand new almost a year ago now, and it took about 200 hours to stop changing in my system. During this time it was up and down going from nasal and constricted bass to wide open and good sounding. Break in is definitely required on these amps. As long as it’s plugged in and the main power switch is on, but if in standby, it comes on song in a day or so; if you shut off the main power switch for a few days, however , it will take longer to get back to its best performance.

 

Thanks! 

To be honest, I don't remember how long the burn-in took with the 600i, but I know it was a few weeks. I can already hear the huge potential but it's clear that it's not settled yet and where it should be. Either way, I'm really looking forward to it! (Actually, I got myself a 50th birthday present with 761). I'll write a short review here after the device settles down.

 

 

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.
