Anyone else here running Flying Moles?

I'm running some modified Flying Mole monoblocks with my Zu Druids and find them to be excellent, especially at their price point (~$400 each). I have modified them by bypassing the volume pot, installing better binding posts and RCA jacks, upgrading the input and output coupling caps (Black Gate N and Multicap, respectively), installing a HexFRED rectifier bridge, and replacing the standard silicon switching diodes with Cree SiC Shottky switching diodes. At 100 Watts each, they have more than enough power to blast rock at deafening levels, but also provide a very clean, smooth sound at lower volumes for acoustic guitar, violins, etc. They sounded pretty good stock, but the mods have definitely improved them further. Just wondering if anyone else is using these, as I haven't seen many posts about them anywhere.

I believe the company is coming out with a new design for these amplifiers. Reason being, I've had several promotion emails from the American distributor of the flying moles.The remaining inventory is being sold at a discount.

I owned a pair of flying moles for about 10 minutes. They didn't work well with my speakers at that time. They did sound better with a friends speakers though. I'm sure the changing of the caps helped out tremendously. I did do the bypass on the volume control mod. I still had to let them go.

Good Listening
