I'm certainly very pleased with it, James. Every time I get itchy feet and start thinking about a new amp, I spend some quality time (like this afternoon) listening to my 770 and it very quickly makes me see sense. Best amp I've owned? Not sure I'd say that, but it's not far off.
Hope you get sorted finding something.
Richard.

I would also have a look at the Denon PMA-2000 range, I had the PMA-2000AE and thought it was actually quite similar to the 770ES, with more than enough power, decent MM/MC stage, battleship build and actually sounded nice and smooth.

Yup, even the 2000AE is a beast...
