Mola Mola embodies the idea that once you've removed everything that isn't the music, that what remains is the music.
This is radical. Today's high-end audio has become all about mixing circuit topologies and parts to make a sonic blend that the designer thinks “sounds about right”. You'd almost forget that getting closer to the sound as crafted by the artist really means keeping the replay system from changing it.
Turning this simple insight into hardware is probably the toughest way to do audio. All simple circuits change the signal audibly, so one has to get to grips with more complicated ones that don't. Mola Mola analyse every sub-circuit mathematically and look for ways to eliminate every error term. When the practical circuit measures as predicted, they listen to search for unexpected sources of coloration. These are then included into the maths and the whole process repeats.
After every stage has proven immaculate performance, the same is done with the whole product and so problem spots get methodically rooted out before they hide themselves and become “audible but not measurable”.
The result is something never before heard of in high-end audio: amplifiers and converters whose output signal cannot be distinguished, by ear, from the input signal. So, what does that sound like? In a few words: natural, nimble, rich and musically enthralling.
With the knowledge in hand to design minimally invasive electronics without needing to be minimalistic, Mola Mola decided that their preamp should be complete, very complete.
CLASS-D HAS NEVER BEEN SO GOOD. COME TO THINK OF IT, NEITHER HAS CLASS-A...
Kaluga is based on world's most sought after class-D technology: Ncore®. Unprecedented low distortion, noise and output impedance combine into what scores of enthusiastic users unanimously describe as “no sonic signature at all”. Just music, glorious music.
The Mola Mola premium remote is designed to go with the stylist approach of the Mola Mola electronics. It is a simple design made to the highest standards possible. Milled from a single block of aluminium just like the Makua, Kaluga and Tambaqui this aesthetic design oozes quality!
What was originally intended to be a simple RIAA add-on for the Makua Preamp has quickly spiralled into the quietest and probably most versatile phono stage ever built.
To put it into perspective: today’s best DAC chip available, claims no better than 22 bits’ worth of dynamic range and only 20 bits’ worth of linearity. High resolution music deserves better than that. To accommodate this, Mola Mola’s DAC is designed using circuits and digital algorithms that were entirely developed in house.
