Hi there,

This preamp is 6 months old and purchased from an Authorised Australian dealer. It's priced to sell quickly and retails in Australia for $27,800 AUD  - please note that this includes the options of phono stage and DAC and has just been returned from Mola Mola with the NETWORK ROON UPGRADE!!!!! Both have been factory fitted. This preamp is essentially a swiss army knife of preamps, I was honestly quite surprised how good the DAC and phono was particularly as they're internal. According to MOLA MOLA they're manufactured to be separates but the boards have simply been added to the pre-amp as options also. So should you wish to buy them on their own you'd be purchasing the Tambaqui DAC for example - which is a $8200k DAC on it's own. The preamp is very modern in its design - can be controlled using bluetooth (and app) or using the provided remote control. 

It's got an impressive array of functions and the price is significantly less than half price. 

It will travel well as it comes in a pelican case and will include the original outer box. So I can ship this anywhere hassle free.

As the price is pant droppingly cheap. Please don't contact me with offers and also keep in mind shipping costs should you live far out yonder. 

Trades/auditions aren't welcome (due to the price) but should you wish to contact me with any further questions etc. Please don't hesitate. 

This truly is the one box solution!

According to the manual:

Your preamplifier has a universal input power supply, allowing it to operate anywhere from 90V to 240V mains. However, as an anti-grey-market measure, products sold in some territories may refuse to operate from a mains voltage other than the one in regular use in that territory. If you are planning to move overseas, consult with your retailer to have the voltage range unlocked.

The good news is - after checking with Mola Mola - this unit works EVERYWHERE

FAQ - From the internets' tire kickers

1. Will you ship to Canada ? Also, was the unit upgraded after with dac and phono ?

A. Yes I have a DHL express account and have no problem shipping to Canada.

Yes it was updated to the DAC and Phono and it is literally arriving from Holland this week after receiving another $1000 upgrade for network/roon compatibility.

2. Do you have all documentation for upgrades and original bill of sale ?

A. I have all of those details and I include shipping at no extra cost. I will include a 12 month warranty.

3. Can you give me a call to discuss further

A. if Audiogon finds out that contact details have been supplied they ban your account. so I'd rather keep our conversation over Audiogon if that's ok with you.

You have insurance on purchases with both PayPal AND Audiogon, should you have questions on the Mola Mola's operation etc then I'd suggest doing the research online.

4.  Is it possible for you to provide proof of the 3 upgrades ? (I see the dac from the rear ) Also what's the serial number # of the preamp ?

A. You'll find on the box - second image the serial numbers and codes for the upgrades. I think it'll be the second image for you.

It shows the pelican box, with 3 boxes filled, one with the unit and serial, then the phono, then the DAC.

5. Also not sure warranty is transferable especially across countries. Do you know ?

A. Warranty is transferable, it's actually against the law to have non-transferable warranties - although some companies do try it ;) - I will also offer a 12 month warranty myself.

6. If you could let me know that would be great ! Looking into import taxes.

A. The item ships as a second hand item on a invoice figure of your choice. 

7. When you say outer case do you mean pelican case ?

A. The unit ships in a pelican case - making it VERY secure and easy to ship anywhere in the world.

8. Is it insured for loss or damage in transit ?

A. We have underwriters for our shipments. Although DHL is pretty good. You're also protected by PayPal and Audiogon Insurances.
