High end Cables not important for certain electronics?


I am a believer in using higher end cables for my gear. I have bought various types of cables over the years and have kept Audience, AudioQuest, and Virtual Dynamics (plus a few others) long term.

So I was interested to read the following Mola Mola quote when I was looking into the Mola Mola Makua preamp.

The Makua is amazingly immune to influences like mains quality and choice of interlinks.

Are there other gear people have owned where the designers eschewed higher end cables? I am curious as to what aspect of the design leads to this type of statement.

High end cables are unnecessary. End of the story.Check out Ethan Winer's null test.
As a former professional recording engineer, I can attest that cable is every bit as variable on balanced connections as unbalanced.

In some situations, cables make next to zero difference and others, large.

The only constant is YMMV
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 their designs. Lack of addressing seismic isolation in their products is another “blind spot” some top designers seem to neglect as well.

Cables, of all types, make a difference to sound quality and Mola Mola is not different in that respect. In our experience I can recommend taking a look at the cables made by Sablon for high quality, naturally balanced cable designs, that won’t break the bank.


If they can fit a DAC and Phone Stage in the preamp then God Bless them.  My phono and DAC have 30 lb. power supplies so getting them in my preamp would be quite a feat.  BUT when it comes to cables, they can have an impact on sound, personally I can change the sound of any component with a resistor, cap and AC filter choke additions or changes (anyone can do this) that to me have a greater impact on the sound then any cable I have heard to date.  Not saying they don't have an impact, but not as much to my ears. 
@toetapaudio Thanks for your feedback on the Makua, I was hoping you would chime in. Not many people in the USA have this preamp and it is hard to get feedback on it.
