High end Cables not important for certain electronics?
We are a Mola Mola dealer based in the U.K.While I have the utmost respect for the designer of Mola Mola, Bruno Putzey, it seems that many top designers suffer from “blind spots” when it comes to the question of  immunity of cable quality with the...

@dawgbyte have no fear about “coloration and potential potential lack of dynamics.” Quite the opposite actually and our speakers haven’t even been fully burnt-in yet. @david_ten has informed me that they need a minimum of 200 hours. I love the eff...

The Nenuphars improve everyday, we have had them for about 3 weeks so far and have noticed them opening up even further. Hopefully we will have the Cube Magus’s in a few weeks to compare. We are also expecting the Bakoon 13R amps soon to try out w...

@david_ten, please can I ask you about your Nenuphars How long did they take to burn in, or are they still burning in?Have you considered/ tried using seismic isolation devices with the Nenuphars, such as those by Ingress Engineering or Max Townse...

I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong

@noble100, f.y.i. In a recent test of various class D amps by someone we know in the business GAN amps did not come out top but were pretty high up. The other D amps were cheaper. My advice stick with your NC1200 module amps.

@david_ten, I can wholeheartedly recommend one of the music servers made by Fidata. IMO better than other well known brands, most of which we have compared. There are a couple of European designs which sound interesting but we haven’t had the oppo...

Wolf golf, the Mola Mola Kaluga’s can be left on standby (red light) and then switched fully on (white light). Disconnect if going away for sometime.

WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE?
@sameyers, you haven’t mentioned what seismic isolation, if any, you use. This is a very important area and if addressed can bring hugely better sound. Suggest looking at Ingress Engineering, Symposium, Townsend.

@laserjock, tested Benchmark ABH2 vs Nord 500vs SST Ampzilla 2 vs Mola Mola Kaluga’s. Results in our opinion from best:Mola Mola Kaluga’s SSTBenchmark NordThe Nord was the most reasonably priced amp at around £1,800 and was good value for money. T...

Thanks Deepfield. What was the source and amplification used for the comparison for interest? 
Innuos Statement Review
Thanks for the thorough and thoughtful review. It would be interesting to compare my current favourite digital source, the Fidata, with the Statement.
