FS/US - Mission 778X Integrated Amp *SOLD*

[Rick63]

I've decided to sell this amp to help fund a new, more powerful amp that my Ascend Sierra LXs will perform better with, and that they deserve. In the very short period of time (16 hrs) I listened to it with the Monitor Audio Silver 50 7Gs, it appeared to be a pretty good match with them. Despite it not being one of the top measuring amps, it sounded fine to my soon to be 63 years old ears.

It will ship in the original box with remote, manual, and power cord. PayPal accepted.

$699 shipped.

My name is all over a Buckeye NC502MP amp if this sells.

Might be a tough sell here after the review. Might try posting it other places too.

Yeah, I figured it would be. I've since listed on US Audiomart and Audiogon. I've sold lots of gear on Audiogon in the last 20 years and not once did an item I've listed not sell.

Hope it sells. I like the looks. If I didn't spend a fortune on gear lately I'd have bought it.

I love the looks and build quality. If it had more power I'd have kept it. I could have used the preouts for an amp but I'd have needed those for my sub. And despite the measurements it sounded just fine to me, and honestly I highly doubt I could hear a difference between it and another amp with the same power that measures a little better. I do think that in some cases chasing sinad and other measurements that is likely inaudible is a bit silly, even though this is a science based site.

I now regret sending it to Amir for measurements right after receiving it. If I had tested it a little more I'd have realized it didn't have enough power my needs, and I could have returned it for a full refund while still within the 30 day window. I've never been one out to make a profit off people, usually I take a small loss on basically new gear I sell. I also so don't like losing too much either. Between the cost of the amp and the $104 it cost me to ship it across the country to Amir I'll be out well more than I'd prefer if/when it sells, especially after I pay to ship it again.

Lesson learned...
