Mola Mola Makua

Here is a lightly used Mola Mola Makua linestage / preamplifier. DAC and or phono stage modules could be installed at a later stage.  DAC & Phono stage are NOT currently installed.
Wonderful sounding electronics.  We also have the matching Kaluga mono blocks, offered separately.

Maurice Jeffries review in Enjoy The Music:
"I can't recommend the stunning Mola Mola pocket sized appetizers highly enough. They redefine the meaning of comprehensive system setup and playback flexibility with the Makua preamp's class leading control app, sound as good as they bloody well look, and are priced sensibly for audiophiles of means short on listening room space. They will fit just about anywhere, meaning you don't need to call your local retired professional football player pals to help install them in your system. They deliver amazing sound, and not just for the money, with bass performance that truly is state of the art. If you want to appreciate what your friends with armchair-sized amps mean by bone-crushing, tactile, juicy bass, you simply must hear what these beauties can do with a speaker with real low-end heft like my Von Schweikert Unifield 2 Mk. IIIs (or even a pair of $200,000 Von Schweikert Audio ULTRA 9s).

Of the two models, I think that the Makua preamp, especially when outfitted with the optional DAC and phono modules, is the real sleeper here. Don't get me wrong. The Kaluga mono amps are stunning as well, quiet, powerful, lithe, and remarkably transparent to sources and recordings. But the Makua has that "hard to pin down" X-factor going for, a stealth-like quality that elevates the preamp into the upper echelons of the very best components on the market, regardless of price. To my ears the DAC's performance really stands out here, as well it should at the hefty $8,200 asking price. For your financial troubles, the Makua DAC gifts to you the most "transparent to sources and recordings" digital source component I have ever heard. Feed it a clean signal from a top-tier feed-forward device like the superb AURALiC ARIES G1 Wireless Streaming Transporter and you will, I strongly suspect, need to re-evaluate your unwavering allegiance to your $10,000 turntable/tonearm combo.

...they are my new amp/preamp references and come very highly recommended.
If you've been sitting on the high-end fence doubtful that well-designed Class D amps and solid-state preamps can deliver the sonic goods, particularly if you are a tube person, mark my words, the Mola Mola suite may very well change your mind. Now get thee hence and find a dealer, ASAP!"
