EXPIRED   For Sale Mola Mola Kaluga Mono Amplifiers

Further Information

Being offered at less than 50% of RRP. 

On offer is our demo pair of Mola Mola Kaluga 400w Mono-block Amplifiers, there would only be a handful of these in Australia and very seldom ever come up for sale. These Class D powerhouses need to be heard to be truly appreciated in not only the power delivery they provide but the way they add to a systems dynamics and sound quality. These impressive mono-blocks will drive the most inefficient speakers around with ease, to say the least, apart from that in back to back comparisons with what are often considered much higher end amplifiers that usually cost way more than twice the Kaluga's RRP price they more often then not end up being voted by those in attendance as the amp of choice. 

If you are interested in either purchasing or arranging a demonstration of our demo Kaluga's please contact me.

They come in all original packaging and as demo stock come with factory warranty.

My apologies for the ordinary photos below. Also pictured is a traded in Mola Mola Makua Pre-amp with the Tambaqui DAC module fitted. This is also for sale for anyone looking for a well priced end came combination.

cheers,

CLASS D HAS NEVER SOUNDED SO GOOD. COME TO THINK OF IT, NEITHER HAS CLASS A

Mola Mola Kaluga Amplifiers are available for audition on the Gold Coast, please contact us at GC HiFi to arrange a private listening session.

Kaluga is based on world's most sought after class D technology: Ncore. Also designed by Bruno Putzeys, this circuit packs 20 years of research and experience into non-linear control theory.  Unprecedentedly 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. For instance, the two supposedly unassailable strongholds of class A amplifiers are linearity and output impedance, at high frequencies. Plotted below are the output impedance as a function of frequency and the output spectrum in a high power (400W), high frequency IMD test. In both cases Kaluga outperforms any power amplifier, regardless of technology, operating class or asking price, of which such test results are available.

The amplifier board is a Mola-Mola-specific design deriving from the famous NC1200 amplifier. The audio circuitry is trimmed to the bare bones and board-to-board connectors are eliminated in favour of soldering a pair of star-quad cables directly into the circuit board for the cleanest, lowest impedance connection possible. The input stage is moved to a separate circuit board that uses the same discrete buffers as those found in the Makua. The redesigned output filter sports monolithic capacitors whose dielectric stability is reflected in an impressively neutral and poised rendition.

The days of compromising power efficiency for audio performance are finally over: the Kaluga delivers definitive audio performance with power efficiency thrown in as a bonus.
