Talk about patience... I opened mine so quick never got a chance to take pic until I was done listening for about an hour.

I think I'd be the same.

This is an exciting time. The next batch is getting shipped out and everyone is getting, or should be getting, their new toys. I'm interested in hearing a lot of impressions.

It was originally scheduled for delivery on Saturday. Received a text FedEx at about 4:40am that it would be arriving a day early, estimated between 10:50am and 2:50pm. Luckily I have day off, but had committed to breakfast with a buddy. Told him I had to be home by 11:00. He's always late and after we ate he asked for a ride to the pet store for dog food because his car is trapped in the condo garage while they repair the roll-up door. Trapped behind an inordinate amount of slow moving semis up the I-5 hill into the Terwilliger curves trying to get home was tortuous!

Literally pulled into my drive at 11:05 and FedEx showed up 2 minutes after I sat down.

Talk about close!

And the only reason the box wasn't opened immediately was it had to wait until after a post breakfast dump!

This isn't its final home. Just temp setup for initial testing.

Running a Pioneer DVD-V7400 industrial dvd transport into a Musical Fidelity M1 DAC (modified to Liquid Audio mods-diy) balanced into MJ3 to LCD-2 (originals updated to Fazor status). Also have a CCA running into the DAC via optical streaming Spotify.

5 minutes in I can already tell I have some upgrade paths ahead of me. When I have some time on the MJ3 I will do a comparison to the Gustard H10 you see to the right on the floor. I suspect the H10 will not even be close. This thing sounds great right out of the box and cold. WOW!

Don't forget to get a balanced cable!

Don't forget to get a balanced cable!

On it!

I actually have a WyWires red for the LCD's. Gonna look into re-terminating it into balanced. It's not quite long enough (7' vs. the 9' stock Audeze cable) for this setup and sitting in listening chair.

[Daniel4IEM]

24hrs later, it's so good... so revealing and smooth at the same time.

After awhile, I didn’t want to listen to anything else but the Mjolnir 3. I originally held onto the Jot 2 because I wanted to have a summer amp, but I'm willing to deal with the Mj3 year round as long as I have AC.

Told ya I'm curios on your take with the single end mode and push and pull for me It's One of the best feauters based on the song you listen, and If you could give a feedback of the sinergy with the Ares 12th on the se It Will be really apprecieated.
The aune has more Power on paper but i doubt that Is 7.5w on class a

GoldenSound said that the MJ3 had 17v compare to the 16v that the Aune S17 has, this was under the context of discussing powering the ModHouse Tungsten SS version. The MJ3 is slightly more powerful than the S17, SQ is another question entirely.
